1. Terry McLaurin 70+ Receiving Yards +128

• Terry McLaurin has been one of the top receivers in the league since his rookie season with the Commanders. Despite the constant quarterback carousel in Washington, the Ohio State product has continuously performed at a high level. Now, with rookie sensation Jayden Daniels under center, the wideout has emerged as a top threat this season, as he’s already up to 711 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
• McLaurin has exceeded the 70+ receiving-yard mark five times throughout the team’s first nine games. A sign that the Commanders’ top pass-catching option will be a focal part of the team’s game plan every week. Considering his crisp route running and ability to break any catch off for a significant gain, the 70-yard mark should be more than achievable on Thursday.
• McLaurin has faced the Eagles 10 times throughout his career. Against the division foes, the wide receiver has hauled in 58 receptions for 847 receiving yards and ten touchdowns. Averaging 84.7 yards per game against Philadelphia, the Commanders star will look to add to his season totals.

2. Brian Robinson Jr. Any Time Touchdown +125

• Brian Robinson Jr. quickly made an impact with the Commanders during his rookie season. Now in his second year, the former Alabama standout has carved a significant role in the offense. The running back gets plenty of volume weekly. Against an Eagles team that has allowed only 100.7 rushing yards per game this season to opponents, Kliff Kingsbury may look to get the rushing attack going early to open up the offense.
• With Daniels in the backfield alongside Robinson, the team often puts a lot of pressure on opposing defenses, which leads to a successful rushing attack in most matchups. Factoring that the Commanders rely on the rushing game in the red zone, it bodes well for Robinson to find his way to the endzone again.
• In the seven games the running back has suited up for this season, he’s scored a rushing touchdown in all but two games. With six touchdowns on the season, he could be in line to add to his totals with a big matchup against the Eagles.
