Continue below for my Commanders vs. Buccaneers player props for Wild Card weekend.
Commanders vs. Buccaneers Player Props
Zach Ertz Over 38.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
Only one team has allowed more receiving yards to tight ends than the Bucs, who have given up an average of 67.2 yards per game.
That bodes well for Zach Ertz, who’ll have every opportunity to hit the over here. He has become more important in this offense in recent weeks; he has five or more receptions in each of the past two weeks and has an average of 58 yards per game.
Ertz’s season average sits at 38.4 yards per game, but given how the Bucs have struggled to deal with tight ends and Ertz’s increased usage in recent weeks, we should see the veteran used as a key part of the offense again.
Jayden Daniels Over 49.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
It’s been an incredible rookie season for Jayden Daniels, who is surely a lock for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Daniels has been great with his arm, but he’s also been efficient on the ground, which we’re tapping into for this game. Daniels’ rushing average stands at 52.4 yards per game, just ahead of his line at 49.5.
He’s covered it in three of the past four games — the only exception being Week 18, in which we only briefly saw Daniels. Not only that, but when these teams met in the opening game of the season, we saw Daniels rush 16 times for 88 yards, with the Bucs blitzing him regularly.
Daniels has been clutch all season, and with the season on the line, we’re going to see him put the team on his back again so the chance of more rushing attempts is very plausible.
Olamide Zaccheaus Over 38.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
At the start of the season, Olamide Zaccheaus was an afterthought in the Commanders' offense.
