Week 16 of a spellbinding 2021 NFL schedule will begin with 49ers vs. Titans on Thursday Night Football. Both teams would qualify for the NFL playoffs if they began today, but both squads will have to hold off several other challengers in the most crowded postseason race in NFL history. The Titans are hoping that wide receiver A.J. Brown will be able to return to action after suffering a chest injury, but what can you expect from the star receiver as you look at the latest NFL player props?
49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has scored a rushing touchdown in five consecutive weeks, and Caesars Sportsbook lists him at +103 to score any time and +600 to be the first touchdown scorer in its Thursday Night Football NFL props. Are either of those NFL prop bets worth your consideration, and what other 49ers vs. Titans props should be on your radar? Before making any NFL prop bets for Thursday Night Football, you need to see the Titans vs. 49ers prop predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

Top NFL player prop bets for 49ers vs. Titans
After simulating Titans vs. 49ers 10,000 times, the model predicts that 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo goes over 236.5 passing yards. Despite looking like a candidate to lose his job early in the season after the 49ers drafted Trey Lance, Garoppolo has held on to his job and San Francisco's offense has looked formidable under his leadership.
Garoppolo currently leads the NFL in yards per pass attempt (8.5) and Garoppolo has been poised and accurate, particularly under duress. Garoppolo ranks third in the NFL in pressured completion percentage (56.4) and has thrown for at least 295 yards in two of his last three starts. The model predicts he'll throw for 257 yards on average against a Titans defense that ranks 20th against the pass.
SportsLine's NFL model also says 49ers wide receiver George Kittle goes over 68.5 total receiving yards. Since the calendar changed to December, Kittle has caught 28 passes for 425 yards and three touchdowns. Despite missing three games, Kittle is second among NFL tight ends in yards after the catch (424) and third in receiving yards (850). Garoppolo likes to get Kittle involved early, with five of his 12 catches of 20 or more yards coming in the first quarter, so look for Kittle to eat up a chunk of that total early and finish with 81 yards on average.
