NFL Thursday Night Football Player Props: Commanders vs. Giants

(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)

Malik Nabers Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+165)

This next selection was kind of a coin flip. However, we’re going with Malik Nabers given the recent increase in targets with J.J. McCarthy at the helm.

Isaiah Likely (+190) is a sound investment as well and shouldn't be overlooked. The Commanders have allowed eight touchdowns to the tight end position through eight games. Likely caught two end-zone passes when the Giants last faced the Commanders in Week 5.

Malik Nabers has seen 35 targets over the last four games, and will no doubt be a sought-after option tonight as well. Nabers was targeted on 20 passing plays in the last matchup against Washington this season. While we don't expect anywhere near that much usage in this contest, the recent target share opens up the opportunity for at least a few end-zone looks.

Nabers has caught two touchdowns over the last five games, including one against Washington. The McCarthy-Nabers tandem has been quite successful through the air since McCarthy took over, with Nabers accumulating 319 yards. Nabers hasn't been a fixture in the end zone this season. However, we expect McCarthy to find his favorite option in the passing game at least once in the end zone against Washington.

Malik Nabers 70+ Receiving Yards (-104)

As previously stated, we expect Malik Nabers to play a key role in New York’s passing game in tonight's matchup against Washington. Nabers was targeted on eight plays on Sunday and caught five passes for 43 yards. Sunday marked the first contest in the last five where Nabers failed to record 100+ yards. Washington is allowing 240 yards per game through the air this season. This seems like a fantastic spot where we may encounter a sizable edge.

After Sunday’s mild performance, oddsmakers have made the Commanders out to be a stringent defense - they have been anything but. The Commanders rank third in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game. The Giants recorded 305 passing yards in their last game against Washington.

Nabers has been a constant target for McCarthy, and we see no reason why that should change tonight. You can also entertain Nabers’ receptions prop. The young receiver can reach 70 yards on just one catch. That is why, for our purposes, we are siding with Nabers to meet his receiving yards threshold.

Austin Ekeler Under 9 Rushing Attempts (-130)

While we aren't too thrilled with the juice on this prop, the success rate is extremely hard to argue with. Austin Ekeler has failed to record at least nine rushing attempts in any game this season. Washington also has Rachaad White in the backfield. Quarterback Jayden Daniels can also gain yards on the ground.

Ekeler’s rushing + receiving yards combo prop (43.5) is only in play because of his pass-catching ability. However, it's best to play it safe and back the under on the veteran running back’s rushing attempts. Ekeler hasn’t carried the ball more than eight times in any game this season, and he only had three carries when the Commanders and Giants last met in October.

Chig Okonkwo Longest Reception Over 18.5 Yards (-124)

We close out our selections with quite the profitable prop over the last few weeks. Washington isn't flush with reliable pass-catching receivers. Chig Okonkwo is one of the more trustworthy options in Washington’s passing attack. Receptions and receiving yards are in play for this contest. However, we are going to delve a little deeper and focus on his longest reception prop.

Okonkwo has exceeded this line in three of his last four games. The Commanders tight end caught six of his seven targets on Sunday. Yet, he fell short of the 19-yard threshold by only three yards. Okonkwo’s longest reception was 25 yards in his last meeting with the Giants. If Okonkwo catches six passes again, as he did on Sunday, he’s likely to record a reception of 19+ yards.
