Eagles anytime touchdown pick

Saquon Barkley (-120 at FanDuel)

The Washington Commanders have surrendered nine touchdowns to opposing running backs over the past five games, ranking 26th in rush defense DVOA while allowing the fourth-highest EPA per rush.

It’s a sweet spot for Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. He’s scored in consecutive weeks, is averaging a healthy 4.8 yards per carry, and saw 10 red-zone touches last week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Commanders anytime touchdown pick

Jacory Croskey-Merritt (+410 at FanDuel)

There was a Week 15 resurgence from Commanders rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and this is a long number for the back to find the end zone for a second consecutive game. Backfield mate Chris Rodriguez missed last week’s game with a groin injury, and while he’s off the Week 16 injury report, Croskey-Merritt is going to see double-digit carries against the Eagles.

Philadelphia has allowed a healthy 14 rushing touchdowns this season, including three scores to running backs in consecutive losses to the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Chargers, before blanking the Raiders in Week 15.
