Commanders vs Lions Divisional Playoffs Top 5 Player Props | NFL Playoff Picks Today, Best Bets

Jameson Williams Over 56.5 Receiving Yards

Amon-Ra St. Brown remains the premier Lions' wide receiver. However, Jameson Williams has closed the gap with his recent performances. We're anticipating another show-stopping performance from Williams on Saturday. 

Since the start of December, Williams has been targeted 36 times in five games. He has accumulated 371 receiving yards across that sample while eclipsing 56.5 yards in three of those five outings. 

Any extra help the Commanders can afford will be leveraged against St. Brown. That should allow Williams to roam freely in the Divisional Round and exceed his modest receiving yards prop.

Austin Ekeler Over 21.5 Rushing Yards

The Commanders need all hands on deck to escape Saturday's matchup with the win. Brian Robinson Jr. and Jayden Daniels will shoulder most of the burden in the ground game but don't lose sight of Austin Ekeler. 

Washington's secondary running back has a more prominent role than his betting line would imply. Ekeler is deployed regularly on offense, playing at least 52.0% of the snaps in four of his last five appearances. More importantly, he's been more than a decoy. Ekeler has surpassed 22 rushing yards in five of his previous seven appearances, averaging 7.6 carries per game. 

Ekeler has a short, attainable rushing prop against the Lions. He continues to play a significant role on offense and should have ample opportunity to surpass 21.5 rushing yards at Ford Field.

Jayden Daniels Over 234.5 Passing Yards

The Detroit Lions are way out in front of the Washington Commanders. The top-seeded Lions enter the Divisional Round as -9.5 chalk, which could force Washington into throwing the ball more frequently. That anticipated game script could profoundly impact Jayden Daniels, eclipsing his passing yards prop.

Even without an increased emphasis on the passing game, Daniels can eclipse 234.5 yards. Not including Week 18, when he played in a limited capacity, Daniels has seen a massive surge in his passing metrics. The presumptive Offensive Rookie of the Year has 30 or more passing attempts in eight straight games. Further, he's north of 35 of his last three. Predictably, there's a direct relationship between his increased passing attempts and yards. Over his previous three, Daniels is averaging 251.0 yards per game, falling below 258 just once.

The Commanders could be forced into throwing the ball more frequently at Ford Field. But even if they aren't, we trust Daniels to get over 234.5.

Terry McLaurin Over 68.5 Receiving Yards

We're taking a correlated approach with our next pick. As Jayden Daniels goes, so does Terry McLaurin. The Commanders' standout wide receiver is positioned to surpass his receiving yards prop against the Lions. 

McLaurin leads the Commanders in every pass-catching category. His 117 targets are nearly 30 more than the next closest player, while his receptions (82) and receiving yards (1,096) are easily the best marks on the team. He's also re-asserted himself as the primary target toward the end of the season. The two-time Pro Bowler has surpassed ten targets in three of his last five and has exceeded 60 yards in all but one of those contests.

Combined with his increasing workload, there will be no stopping McLaurin from reaching 68.5 receiving yards against the Lions.
