When the last week of the season rolls around, players are playing for more than just wins and losses.

Many have contract incentives to receive bonuses for certain milestones while some others are going for records with the additional game on the schedule this season.

Let's get into some intriguing prop bets that involve player incentives.

Week 18 Prop Bets for Records and Incentives

Stefon Diggs vs. Jets

Diggs has one of the biggest and most attainable contract incentives heading into the week. He needs 231 receiving yards for $685,000 and six receptions for $658,000 against the New York Jets this week.

The receptions O/U on DraftKings and most sportsbooks is at 6.5. Over is +100 while under is -130.

DraftKings is offering incentive specials that have Diggs over 5.5 receptions at -150. It has also over 231.5 receiving yards at +4000 for the additional incentive.

Ja'Marr Chase vs. Browns

Chase needs 45 receiving yards to set the record for most ever in the regular season by a rookie.

Most of the player props aren't yet available for this game.

Marvin Jones Jr. vs. Colts

Jones needs four catches against the Colts for $500,000. He averages 4.1 catches per game this season.

Over 3.5 catches is currently -160 on DraftKings with the under at +125.

Tom Brady vs. Panthers

Brady can set the single-season record for passing yards if he throws for at least 488 yards. Think he can do it? The over on 487.5 yards at DraftKings has odds of +3000.

DraftKings is also offering over 15.5 pass completions at -10000 and over 45.5 pass attempts at +500. Sixteen completions would break Drew Brees' record for most in a single season. The pass attempts number is the amount needed to break Matthew Stafford's record for most in a season.

Rob Gronkowski vs. Panthers

Gronkowski has a couple attainable incentives this week. He needs seven catches for a $500,000 bonus, 85 yards for $500,000 and three touchdowns for $500,000.

His receiving yards total is set at 65.5 -130 on the over and +100 on the under.

Mike Evans vs. Panthers

Evans needs 54 receiving yards to hit the 1,000-yard mark in eight-straight seasons.

The issue is the prop number is rather high. DraftKings is currently offering Evans total receiving yards at 65.5 with over at -130 and under at +100.

Tyler Lockett vs. Cardinals

Lockett scored two touchdowns in last season's finale to hit his touchdown incentive at +850 odds and he needs two touchdowns once again to get a $1.2 million bonus.
