Player props for Commanders vs. Bengals
How Ja’Marr Chase could get an any time TD
In Week 3 on Monday Night Football, Chase will take on a Commanders defense that has allowed six touchdowns to opposing wide receivers through two games. On a per-game average, the Commanders are allowing 15 receptions for 186.5 yards and nearly 12.5 yards per reception.
The Commanders have also allowed touchdowns to multiple players, including three wide receivers in Week 1 and two in Week 2. As for the cornerbacks specifically, they’ve allowed 26 receptions on 38 targets for 297 yards and four touchdowns.
How Ja’Marr Chase could miss an any time TD
Heading into this game, Chase has 10 receptions on 11 targets for 97 yards and no touchdowns. Also, it appears wide receiver Tee Higgins will be back in the lineup.
The Cincinnati Bengals are also 7.5-point favorites, so if they build a lead early enough without Chase getting a touchdown, we could see them utilize the running game more with Zack Moss and Chase Brown.
How Jayden Daniels could get over 50 rushing yards
Heading into this game, Daniels is averaging 13 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown per game. In Week 2, he had 10 carries for 44 yards, and in Week 1, he had 16 carries for 88 yards and two touchdowns.
Interestingly, the Week 1 stats came with the Commanders trailing for most of the game. The Bengals are allowing 5.5 yards per carry to opposing quarterbacks and allowing the second-fewest passing yards per game (128.5).
How Jayden Daniels could get under 50 rushing yards
As 7.5-point underdogs, the Commanders could find themselves forced into passing situations. The Bengals do allow 5.5 yards per carry, but opposing quarterbacks haven’t topped 32 yards. Granted, the Bengals have played against the New England Patriots (Jacoby Brissett) and the Kansas City Chiefs (Patrick Mahomes). Alternatively, the Bengals have allowed opposing running backs to run 29 times for 126 yards per game, so we could see more of the rushing yards come from Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler.
