Colts computer picks

Daniel Jones Over 10.5 rushing yards

Projection: 19.76 rushing yards

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is at his best when he uses his legs, and he’ll be facing a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed 30+ rushing yards to Sam Darnold and Dak Prescott over the last two games, as well as 17 to Jalen Hurts in Week 1.

This is our highest-rated prop of the game, featuring a 25.87% EV edge.

Tyler Warren Over 48.5 receiving yards

Projection: 49.85 receiving yards

Washington has struggled against tight ends, surrendering the second-most adjusted receiving yards per game (74.0) since 2025.

Tyler Warren has already seen 22 targets through three contests, and this matchup sets up well for the Colts sophomore.

πŸ”₯ trade warren receiving yards now

Jonathan Taylor Over 91.5 rushing yards

Projection: 92.06 rushing yards

Jonathan Taylor has topped his rushing line in two of three games to start the season, and our computer projects a 2% EV edge ahead of kickoff.

Last season, the Colts running back trailed only James Cook in rushing yards, averaging 98.9 per contest.

Daniel Jones Under 31.5 passing attempts

Projection: 30.47 passing attempts

This prop has hit in six of Jones' last seven starts at this line, while our model expects the Colts to pass on 53.9% of their plays, the fourth-lowest rate among all teams this week.

Commanders computer picks

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Over 60.5 rushing yards

Projection: 66.75 rushing yards

Washington sports the NFL's fifth-most run-heavy offense (42.0%), and Indy's safeties also rank among the NFL's worst against the run since last season.

Considering star QB Jayden Daniels remains sidelined, expect the Commanders to rely heavily on Jacory Croskey-Merritt.

πŸ”₯ Trade Croskey-Merritt rushing yards now

Stefon Diggs Over 47.5 receiving yards

Projection: 51.99 receiving yards

Our computer expects Stefon Diggs to garner 7.2 targets in this game, placing him in the 80th percentile among wide receivers.

With WR1 Terry McLaurin also listed as questionable, Diggs could benefit from an expanded role.

πŸ”₯ trade diggs receiving yards now

Chig Okonkwo Over 47.5 receiving yards

Projection: 30.11 receiving yards

Since the start of last season, the Colts have allowed 62.0 adjusted receiving yards per game to opposing TEs, the fourth-most in the NFL.

Travis Kelce turned back the clock with 101 receiving yards against Indy two weeks ago, and Chig Okonkwo could be the latest at the position to benefit from a weak Colts linebacking corps.

πŸ”₯ trade okonkwo receiving yards now

Marcus Mariota Under 214.5 passing yards

Projection: 208.61 yards

Leading projections have the Commanders as the 11th-least pass-focused team this week.

Marcus Mariota has averaged just 199.2 passing yards across his last five starts, including throwing for only 182 against Seattle last week.
