BEST MNF PROP WEEK 3: JAYDEN DANIELS 50+ RUSHING YARDS (+104)

Jayden Daniels has gotten the Commanders their first win of the season against the New York Giants last week mainly with his legs extending plays when he needed to get those extra yards.

While he was efficient through the air in Week 2, he still has yet to throw a touchdown on the season meanwhile, he has 2 rushing touchdowns already.

• Daniels is second on the team in rushing yards (132) and rushing attempts (26) through the first two weeks of the season.
• He is averaging 66 rushing yards and 13 rushing attempts per game.
• The Bengals allowed Patrick Mahomes to rush for 29 yards on 4 attempts for 7.2 yards per carry and Jacoby Brissett to rush for 32 yards on 7 attempts for 4.6 yards per carry.

The Bengals have had a rough time defensively against the run and if the Commanders want to come away with the victory Daniels is going to improvise and use his speed to get yards on the ground making this prop one of the best ones on the slate.

BEST SNF PROP WEEK 3: TEE HIGGINS ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN SCORER (+170)

Tee Higgins returns to the field for his first action of the season after being sidelined through the first two weeks. His absence with missed greatly as Burrow has had less than stellar performances without him on the field.

Now with Higgins back in the fold, expect him to be heavily targeted aside from Ja'Marr Chase in this game against the porous Washington Commanders secondary.

• The Commanders' secondary has been torched for 6 touchdowns through the air in the first 2 weeks of the season.
• They allowed 5 wide receivers to score touchdowns through the first 2 weeks.

Burrow will want to finally get this passing attack going early in this matchup which means Higgins should see a ton of red zone looks. In 2023, Higgins was second on the team in red zone targets just behind Chase with 12 of the season where he converted 3 of them for touchdowns.

As long as this Bengals' offensive line holds up expect Burrow to light up this secondary where Higgins will feast and get his first touchdown of the season.

BEST SNF PROP WEEK 3: JOE BURROW 300+ PASSING YARDS (+240)

Joe Burrow has had an up-and-down start to his 2024 campaign. He was roughed up against the New England Patriots and while he played better against the Kansas City Chiefs he still walked away with a 1-point loss.

Luckily for him, he gets to face arguably the worst secondary in all of football the Washington Commanders as he looks to have his best game of the young season and get the first win.

• The Washington Commanders have given up 227.5 passing yards per game through two weeks.
• They also have surrendered 6 passing touchdowns, 4 from Baker Mayfield and 2 from Daniel Jones in back-to-back weeks.
• The Commanders also have had trouble rushing the passer as they are averaging just 1 sack per game to start the season.

Burrow has had it rough due to the pass rush of the Patriots and Chiefs but going against a Commanders front seven that generates no pressure, he should have all day in the pocket to make his reads. Giving Burrow all the time he needs to throw the ball is a recipe for disaster.

Expect Burrow to have himself one of his best games of the season on Monday night in front of his home crowd and get over this 300+ passing yards player prop.
