Prices as of Tuesday, September 8, 2026, 4:22 p.m. ET.
As of Tuesday, September 8, 2026: Christian McCaffrey catching six or more passes in Thursday night's opener in Melbourne costs 35 cents on Kalshi, which is a 35% chance. Matthew Stafford throwing two or more touchdown passes costs 57, and Puka Nacua reaching 90 receiving yards costs 54 at the ask. Those are the three contracts on this page. The sportsbooks on the OddsShopper board price McCaffrey's receiving yards at 38.5 and carry no line on his catches; Kalshi does, and the catches were always the cleaner bet on the same idea.

Kalshi settles each contract on the player's final stat line for the game. Kickoff is Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET, Friday morning in Melbourne; the Rams are 3.5-point favorites at DraftKings.
Christian McCaffrey: 6+ Receptions
McCaffrey's 23.3% target share was the highest of any running back in football last year, 7.6 targets a game, and the Rams are the defense that feeds it. Chris Shula's unit allowed 38.2 receiving yards a game to running backs on 6.5 targets, fifth-most in the league, and 4.9 catches a game, and he is in his third year running the same scheme. Los Angeles played zone on 79.8% of its snaps, fourth-most, and McCaffrey's 1.98 yards per route against zone is better than 95% of backs. He averaged six catches a game last year, caught six or more in 11 of 17, and caught eight in each of the two Rams games. His last four games averaged 4.3 catches, but George Kittle is still working back from a January Achilles tear, Ricky Pearsall is out for the season, and the pass rush across from Brock Purdy now has Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald in it, which is how a quarterback ends up throwing to his running back. The books price his yards at 38.5; Kalshi prices his catches, five at 50 cents and six at 35.
Christian McCaffrey 6+ receptions, yes at 35 cents on Kalshi.
Matthew Stafford: 2+ Passing Touchdowns
Stafford threw 46 touchdowns last year and had two or more in 15 of 17 games. His big-time throw rate of 7.4% ranked in the 97th percentile of quarterbacks and his deep-throw rate of 15.2% in the 98th; McVay's offense passed on 59.0% of its red-zone snaps with a pass rate over expected that ranked fifth in the league. Davante Adams took 51.9% of the Rams' end-zone targets, the highest share of any receiver in football, and scored 14 times in 14 games. San Francisco's sack rate last year was 3.0%, the lowest in the league; Nick Bosa is back from his ACL, but the 49ers traveled with three healthy defensive ends. The Rams land in Melbourne about 24 hours before kickoff, but the plan is to stay on Pacific time, where the 10:35 a.m. local kickoff is 5:35 p.m. Kalshi's 57 cents is the same price FanDuel charges at -140; the contract is the cleaner way to hold it.
Matthew Stafford 2+ passing touchdowns, yes at 57 cents on Kalshi.
Puka Nacua: 90+ Receiving Yards
Nacua was targeted on 36.0% of his routes last year and turned them into 3.70 yards per route run, both the best marks among receivers, on 10.4 targets a game. Against zone, which San Francisco played on 76.1% of its snaps, he ran 282 routes for 4.05 yards each and was targeted on 36.9% of them; against man he was at 3.54, so there is no coverage he wants to avoid. San Francisco allowed 8.36 yards per target to wide receivers, fifth-most in the league, and the three corners who allowed it, Lenoir, Green and Stout, are the three corners this year. He averaged 107.2 yards a game and reached 90 in 9 of 16. He went 85 and 64 in the two meetings with the 49ers, but he played half the snaps in the second one, and Fred Warner, who missed both, is back at a position that has nothing to do with Nacua's routes on the outside. The Kalshi contract is 90 or more, half a yard under the book's 90.5, with a 46-cent bid and a 54-cent ask.
Puka Nacua 90+ receiving yards, yes at 54 cents on Kalshi.
Bottom Line
McCaffrey six or more catches at 35 cents is the play I'd make first. Stafford two or more touchdown passes at 57 is the price bet. Nacua 90 or more at 54 is the number the coverage and the corners fit.
