Read our full Washington Commanders vs Cincinnati Bengals predictions
Commanders vs Bengals anytime touchdown scorer pick: Ja’Marr Chase (+125)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The Bengals’ implied team total of 27.5 indicates that at least one of Cincinnati’s star receivers in Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins is finding the end zone. The running game for the Bengals has been near non-existent through 2 games, averaging 72 yards per game which is the 3rd-worst in the league. So naturally, we’re backing Chase to find the end zone for the first time this season against a woeful Commanders defense that allowed 127 yards and a touchdown to Malik Nabers last week, and 4 touchdowns to the wide receiver position in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Commanders vs Bengals anytime touchdown scorer pick: Brian Robinson Jr. (+175)
Odds available at Fanatics Sportsbook and Bet365 at time of publishing.
Split backfield mate to Brian Robinson Jr., Austin Ekeler, ran the ball well last week against the New York Giants in a 21-18 win, but Robinson was even better. He registered 17 carries for 133 yards and a touchdown. The 230-pound back continues to prove that he can handle an extensive workload. The Commanders have yet to trust rookie Jayden Daniels to throw in the red zone, as he has made just 5 pass attempts in that area through 2 games. Instead, Robinson has run the ball 5 times inside the 10-yard line. At +175 with Fanatics Sportsbook and Bet365, this is a no-brainer price for a workhorse back.
