Here at PSN, we’re gearing up for a Philadelphia Eagles-less Super Bowl in Las Vegas & there’s never been a better time to get in on the action (I think that’s the DraftKings tagline).
We’re going through prop bets for the Chiefs and 49ers by each major position all week. I know you’re all absolutely enthralled by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, but leave some room in your tummies for the other tight end on the team, Noah Gray.

Noah Gray | Kansas City Chiefs
Noah Gray | 11.5 Receiving Yards | O -130 / U +100
I know this isn’t the Kansas City Chiefs tight end you’d expect to receive a feature ahead of the Super Bowl, but I believe Noah Gray has a ton of value riding the wake of Kelce.
Since Week 15, Gray’s played 51% of the Chiefs offensive snaps, a number that’s increased to 54% in the playoffs. And while an average of three targets per game in the postseason isn’t too impressive, he’s coming off five total targets and almost 60% offensive snaps played against the Baltimore Ravens.
I like throwing this one into a couple of multi-leg parlays with a receiving total this low.
PSN Pick | Gray O/11.5 receiving yards
First TE to reach 10+ Receiving Yards | Noah Gray | +1120 (FanDuel)
Let me paint a picture. Patrick Mahomes drops back on 1st & 10 from the Chief’s 26-yard-line, and Kelce’s blanketed by Dre Greenlaw and Fred Warner. Suddenly, Gray releases off his block to the right, and Mahomes hits him off his back foot.
A modest scamper across that pretend yellow line has just turned $10 into $112. Well, that’s the script, and you can have some fun with odds like this.
PSN Pick | Let the hammer fall like Freddy Mercury
Noah Gray | Anytime Touchdown Scorer | +850
Gray has just two touchdowns all season, regular and post, so I’d understand your reluctance. Still, doesn’t weird stuff always happen in the Super Bowl?
Last year, Skyy Moore & Kadarius Toney combined for two receptions, nine yards & two touchdowns. That’s no more strange than Kelce’s young, hunky backup scoring once in 2024.
San Franciso’s defense allowed an average of 50.5 yards receiving to opposing tight ends this season and just 0.2 touchdowns per game, but I think you’re getting a ton of value from Gray, who Vegas doesn’t seem very scared of.
If you’re feeling bold, Gray, as the first touchdown scorer, has odds at 45 to 1. That would be $10 to win $450.
PSN Pick | I wouldn’t blame you for putting a little on this because I’ll be doing the same
NEXT UP: go deep! We’re talking wideouts next.
