Will Jared Goff go higher than his passing total tonight against the Commanders? Will his teammate Jahmyr Gibbs find the end zone? Read on for our Commanders vs. Lions Underdog Fantasy Picks.
Commanders vs. Lions Underdog Fantasy Picks: Jayden Daniels 55.5 Rushing Yards (Higher)
Daniels rushed for 36 yards last week against the Bucs, which fell lower than his 54.5-yard rushing total. He also went lower against the Cowboys in Week 18, although he didn’t play the entire game as Washington decided to rest starters ahead of the playoffs. The last regular season game that he played the entire game was against Atlanta in Week 15. He torched the Falcons for 127 rushing yards, which destroyed his 48.5-yard rushing total. Daniels has also gone higher than 55.5 rushing yards in three out of his last five games.
Commanders vs. Lions Underdog Fantasy Picks: Jahmyr Gibbs 0.5 Rush + Rec. TDs (Higher)
I know David Montgomery is set to return tonight for the Lions, but Ben Johnson and Co. would be insane not to continue to make Gibbs the focal point of the offense. He’s on another level. He’s a home run threat when he gets the ball in his hands and unlike playing SGP, Underdog Fantasy allows us to cash in on the value of taking Gibbs to find the end zone.
Gibbs was held out of the end zone in Week 18 against the Vikings, but that snapped a three-game streak in which Gibbs had found paydirt. And since the Lions use him in both the passing and running game, he should have multiple opportunities to find the end zone tonight. I also believe Detroit will score 34-plus points tonight, which again, backs the idea that there will be plenty of opportunities for Gibbs to score tonight.
Commanders vs. Lions Underdog Fantasy Picks: Jared Goff over 274.5 Passing Yards (Higher)
Goff finished under his passing yards two weeks against the Vikings when he only threw for 231 of the 284.5 yards needed to cash the over. That said, he had gone over his passing total in four consecutive games before falling short of Minnesota. More importantly for tonight’s prop, Goff has thrown for at least 275 yards in four out of his last five games, with the lone exception coming in Week 18 against Minnesota.
When the Commanders have not pressured an opposing quarterback, they have allowed 7.8 yards per pass attempt. That ranks 27th in the league. Washington also plays a lot of man coverage. Goff leads the league with a 141.1 rating, completing 72.2% of his passes for 9.4 yards per attempt with 15 touchdowns and zero interceptions against man coverage. He should flourish tonight.
