NFL Week 8 comes to a close with the Jayden Daniels-less Washington Commanders heading to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs (-11.5) on Monday Night Football. Marcus Mariota will go back under center for Washington as Daniels nurses a hamstring injury. While Daniels is a huge blow on the injury report, the Commanders will be excited to welcome back Terry McLaurin on the perimeter, who has missed the last 4 weeks. It is worth noting that this weekend was designated National Tight End Day and I’m curious if that carries over in MNF and Travis Kelce specifically (-105 to score). Let’s get into our best Commanders vs Chiefs player prop bets for MNF, while you can also find out our NFL picks for this matchup and EVERY GAME in the 2025 NFL season.

I’m going back to Deebo Samuel after falling short with him 2 weeks ago in primetime. It may seem counterintuitive, but I believe McLaurin’s return benefits Samuel greatly in the passing game, giving him less attention from the safety position. In Mariota’s 2 starts this season, Deebo saw 9 targets for 8 receptions. The negative game script (-11.5) would lend itself to more shell coverages in the second half, allowing Deebo to operate underneath for dink-and-dunk completions. Samuel is over this line in 2 of 3 games this season with McLaurin and should be “full go” according to Jay Glazer.
