In our second Monday Night Football game to conclude Week 3, we have the Washington Commanders taking on the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati. Kickoff takes place at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC.
Beyond spread and total bets, I'm taking a look at Commanders vs. Bengals player props for Monday Night Football.
Here are my two picks for Monday night's game between the Washington Commanders and Cincinnati Bengals.
Commanders vs. Bengals Player Props: Anytime Touchdown Scorers
Brian Robinson Anytime Touchdown (+175)
Brian Robinson has had an extraordinary start to his season. Unfortunately for him, he hasn’t found his way to the endzone yet.
Additionally, he’s had eight red zone carries through two games, including six last week – and still couldn’t punch it in. It’s encouraging, though, that he ran for 133 yards on 17 carries in Week 2.
This week, he faces the Bengals, whose defense has allowed the fifth most rushing yards this season. Cincy is also missing two of its starting defensive tackles, BJ Hill and Sheldon Rankins.
At this stage, I’m not fully sure what we’ll get out of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and the passing game, so I’d rather just bank on Robinson to carry the load.
Mike Gesicki Anytime Touchdown (+300)
You could make a case that Mike Gesicki should have touchdowns in both games so far. The newest Bengal has seen 13 targets through two games.
One reason I’m taking Gesicki is because of Joe Burrow and his lack of range. Burrow’s ADOT per throw is the lowest it’s ever been in his career.
His wrist injury is likely why he hasn’t pushed the ball down the field as much as he’d like.
The Bengals have a myriad of options in star receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins and I fully expect them to get theirs on Washington’s secondary (allowed six TDs to receivers so far).
However, given how much the receivers have struggled this season, I prefer the tight end to finally get his first score of the season.
