Los Angeles Rams tight end Kendall Blanton could be a name to watch in Super Bowl 56 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Here are the odds on a variety of his player prop bets, including first and anytime touchdown scorer.
Kendall Blanton Player Props, TD Odds
Receptions: 3.5 (over +130, under -175
Receiving yards: 29.5 (over -115, under -115)
Anytime TD: +230
First TD: +1600
Last TD: +1600
The Rams are stacked offensively. Matthew Stafford's playing out of his mind, Cooper Kupp's the best wide receiver in football right now and Odell Beckham Jr. is your WR2? Must be nice.
Coincidentally, Blanton — who had just four catches for 37 yards during the regular season– has been of the most clutch weapons throughout the postseason.
It's admittedly been more quality than quantity, but every contribution from Blanton has seemingly been important.
The former undrafted free agent out of Missouri kicked things off with his first career touchdown in the Divisional Round against the Buccaneers.

Then, in the Conference Championship against the 49ers, Blanton delivered one of the game's most underrated performances.
After starting tight end Tyler Higbee left with an injury late in the first, Blanton picked up the slack with 57 yards on five catches (career-high five targets), four of which went for first downs.
Blanton's sort of the perfect storm of a value buy — he's a low-profile player with plenty of momentum, alongside a handful of attractive price tags.
