Daniels should win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award by a landslide, while Penix is making his second career start. Penix has plenty of weapons, such as running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Drake London.
This game could feature plenty of scoring, making it perfect for some player prop bets.
Here are our four favorite player props for Commanders-Falcons this Sunday, with all odds via BetMGM.
Robinson has 11 total touchdowns on the season, including 10 rushing touchdowns. He’s scored touchdowns in four of the last six games and multiple touchdowns in two of those four games. Washington’s run defense is among the worst in the NFL. It’s a good bet that Robinson finds the end zone on Sunday.
Jayden Daniels is back to scrambling for first downs after a brief time where he didn’t use his legs as much. Last week, he converted two fourth downs, including one 29-yard run that changed the game. Daniels may not post huge rushing numbers, but you can bet he’ll pick up a first down or two with his legs. He’s had a run of 23 yards or longer in three of the last four games.
Terry McLaurin is having a career year. He has 12 touchdown receptions, which is third in the NFL. One more touchdown, and he sets a new franchise record. McLaurin and Daniels seemingly connect for one or more big plays every week. The Falcons have struggled against the pass. Washington has some injuries at receiver, so McLaurin will see plenty of targets, making this a smart bet.
Ertz caught one pass for 12 yards last week. However, he was coming off a concussion. He’s 100% healthy now and could be in store for a big game against Atlanta. He will receive multiple targets, making him a good bet here.
