DraftKings and FanDuel are offering playoff future bets on players who can star in the postseason.
FanDuel posted lines on which player will lead the NFL playoffs in rushing yards.
49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is the heavy favorite (+155) to lead the postseason in rushing yards, despite not playing a game yet.
Packers running back Aaron Jones currently leads the postseason in rushing yards after running for 118 yards against the Cowboys. He is +600 to be the leader for the playoffs.
Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco wasn't far behind Jones with 89 yards. He is the second favorite to lead in rushing at +480.
Bills teammates James Cook and Josh Allen had 79 and 74 rushing yards, respectively. Cook is also +480 at FanDuel. Allen is with fellow quarterback Lamar Jackson at +1600. They are the only two quarterbacks on the board.
These bets are interesting because not everyone will play the same amount of games. For a player to lead the playoffs, he will have to play in multiple playoff games. But the 49ers and the Ravens are already one game behind.
