Best DraftKings King of the End Zone Picks for Super Bowl LIX (February 9)

Longest Touchdown Prediction: Xavier Worthy (+145)

Looking back through the last 10 years, there's a rather strong trend towards passing as it pertains to this specific outcome. The longest touchdown in each the last three Super Bowls has been on a passing play, and that's been the case five times in the last 10.

• Unfortunately, there hasn't been a large degree of variance in the receivers. Interestingly enough, it was a running back who caught the longest touchdown last year with Christian McCaffrey went into the end zone from 21 yards out, but other than that the receiver involved was the top wideout for the respective teams.

That leads me to Kansas City's WR1, Xavier Worthy. He's taken on a massive workload in the last two games, catching 11 of 13 passes thrown his way, and has now scored a touchdown three times in his last four games.

Worthy's also averaged over 20 yards on his longest reception of the game, and has breakaway speed which helps his case for scoring the longest touchdown.

Longest Touchdown Prediction: JuJu Smith-Schuster (+500)

It's hard to deny JuJu Smith-Schuster's role in this offense. He play 41% of the snaps in the divisional round before playing 58% in the AFC Championship game, and it's likely he draws plenty of work opposite Worthy.

• While the former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout hasn't reached the end zone in five long weeks, he did rattle off a 31-yard catch-and-run against Buffalo and once again will help his case at a long touchdown here with his elusiveness when he has the ball.

He may have just four targets these playoffs, but it's clear that Smith-Schuster has quickly earned the trust of this coaching staff, which has been desperate to find receivers they can rely on. We want to find a receiver in this market, and preferably one who won't be so popular to increase our reward, so the veteran certainly has our attention.

Longest Touchdown Prediction: Dallas Goedert (+300)

Finally, let's really get obscure here and take a tight end. Believe it or not, a tight end has had the longest touchdown of the Super Bowl once in the last 10 years, but more importantly the longest touchdown has been over 30 yards just four times.

• Looking through the history, there's not an incredibly strong reason to play a touchdown scorer who can use their speed to score from 40 or 50 yards out, though this market is sure to attract plenty of guys who have that ability.

That's why it may be a good idea to grab Goedert, who has been a red zone target this season for Philly and has gained 24 or more yards on his longest grab in three straight weeks. A few of his longer receptions have seen him fall just short of the goal line, so there's a lot to be said here for his chances of surprising us all and winning this promotion.
