After an action-packed 2026 regular season, the UFL serves up what should be an exciting two-game playoff slate Sunday.
The D.C. Defenders and Orlando Storm will face off in the first game at the semi-neutral site of Daytona Stadium in Daytona Beach, Florida, while the St. Louis Battlehawks will welcome in the Louisville Kings to their always raucous home field, The Dome, in the evening game.
With a pair of intriguing postseason matchups on tap, we hone in on a trio of player props to consider (odds listed best at time of writing):
Plummer was the best quarterback in the UFL, hands down, during the regular season, completing 65% of his passes for 2,189 yards with a stellar 17:1 TD:INT while adding 189 rushing yards and two additional touchdowns across 10 games.
The Louisville product, who also spent regular-season time with the Carolina Panthers in 2024 and 2025, took advantage of a deep and talented pass-catching corps. Plummer showed increasing command of the offense as the season unfolded, and he averaged a solid 7.3 yards per attempt while throwing multiple touchdowns in six contests.
Plummer also threw for over 225 yards in half of his 10 games, including for 275 against this same Defenders squad in Week 9. Three of those instances came in the second half of the season, with two in the final three contests.
The Defenders often made life difficult on opposing quarterbacks due to an aggressive pass rush. However, Plummer got to D.C. for more than 200 passing yards in each of the last two games, and Sunday’s showdown has a solid 47.5-point projected total overall while Orlando carries a robust 25.25-point implied total.
If we’re banking on Plummer enjoying a productive postseason performance, then it only makes sense to have some faith that perhaps his most explosive downfield receiver will play a significant role in his success.
Badger was frequently a key target for Plummer throughout the regular season, drawing just under six looks per contest from his quarterback and recording a solid 63.2% catch rate. Badger averaged a stellar 16.3 yards per catch along the way to a 36-588-5 line.
Badger recorded over 50 receiving yards in six of 10 games, including 82 and 52 against the Defenders in Weeks 9 and 10, respectively.
Badger eclipsed the 50-yard threshold in three of the last four games of the season overall, and his chemistry with Plummer should be at its apex by this point of the season and in a third straight matchup against the same defense.
Luis Perez arrived in St. Louis via trade in the latter portion of the season and provided quite the boost to the Battlehawks’ air attack, and one of the players he most focused on was McBride.
The Hawaii product and the “Spring King” clicked almost instantly, as McBride saw no fewer than six targets in each of his four games with Perez under center. McBride finished the regular season on a heater in the form of an 18-271-0 line on 29 targets over the last three games.
McBride recorded at least 76 receiving yards in each of those contests as well, posting one grab of over 25 yards in each game in the process. Meanwhile, the Kings gave up the second-highest yards per attempt (7.2) during the regular season.
Louisville also conceded the second-most passing yards per game (198.5), along with the second-most touchdown passes (16). Then, Perez has averaged a very elevated 36.3 pass attempts per game over his four starts in St. Louis, so McBride should be very busy once again on the fast track of his home field.
