Let's dive into it.

Commanders vs. Giants Touchdown Bets

Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

  • Austin Ekeler Touchdown (+110)
  • Wan'Dale Robinson Touchdown (+340)

Austin Ekeler Touchdown

Austin Ekeler has taken over Brian Robinson as the primary running back for the Commanders, playing a higher percentage of offensive snaps than Robinson including Week 8 when he was on the field for 57% of offensive plays.

Ekeler has been averaging an impressive 5.6 yards per rush this season while adding in 2.7 receptions for 29.6 per content. He is by far the better option to score a touchdown at +110 odds on Sunday.

Wan'Dale Robinson Touchdown

Wan'Dale Robinson to score a touchdown is my No. 6 ranked player prop for Week 9:

Wan’Dale Robinson is tied for third in the NFL in targets with 72, which is the same amount as CeeDee Lamb and more than Drake London. There is no way that a player who is tied for third in targets in the NFL should be listed at north of 3-1 to score a touchdown.

The Commanders are allowing an average of 1.5 passing touchdowns per game.
