Eagles WR A.J. Brown vs. Commanders: 84.5 Rec Yards — More
CB Marshon Lattimore, acquired at the deadline by the Commanders, will not suit up this week. This leaves Eagles star receiver A.J. Brown matched up against Commanders CB Benjamin St-Juste.
St-Juste has struggled in coverage, ranking 98th out of 108 corners, allowing a 110+ passer rating and 13 yards per reception. He’s given up 39 receptions on 60 targets, making him vulnerable to Brown.
Brown has been one of the top three receivers in the NFL this year when healthy, hauling in 28 catches with a 120+ passer rating and averaging nearly 20 yards per reception. Brown has dealt with some injuries to start the season, but that hasn't slowed home down one bit since coming back.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley 93.5 Rush Yards — More (Goblin)
The Washington Commanders' defensive line has been weak against the run, allowing one of the highest yards per carry in the league (4.8), which sets up a favorable matchup for Saquon Barkley. Commanders DE Clelin Ferrell ranks 90th out of 112 ends in run-stopping, and the interior is particularly weak with Phidarian Mathis ranked 112th out of 121 and Jer'Zhan Newton at 64th.
Additionally, DE Dante Fowler Jr. has struggled, ranking 88th out of 110 defensive ends in stopping the run. The Eagles will also benefit from the return of elite left tackle Jordan Mailata, who ranks second in run blocking, after missing a few weeks.
This will be one of the first times one of the best offensive lines in football is fully healthy.

TD Scorer Prediction: Commanders TE Zach Ertz (Demon)
Commanders TE Zach Ertz has been a reliable target for his rookie quarterback, averaging nearly 10 yards per reception and a 100 passer rating when targeted. Ertz ranks top 10 among tight ends in receiving yards, receptions, and targets this season, despite being in the later stages of his career.
Ertz has nine red-zone targets this year, but has only converted those to four catches and one touchdown. The Commanders should look to pass here to keep up with the Eagles high-powered offense, so look for Ertz to be involved from the rip.
This week’s matchup is a homecoming for Ertz as he faces the team that drafted him in 2013, setting up a compelling narrative for him to find the end zone.
You'll cash this pick on PrizePicks if Ertz scores a receiving or rushing touchdown anytime during Thursday Night Football.
Note: Demon picks add a payout boost to your lineup on PrizePicks, as they are more difficult projections to hit.
