Looking for the best NFL SNF player prop picks for Week 8? The 1-4-1 Commanders host the 2-4 Eagles at Northwest Stadium after a bye, with Washington favored by roughly 5.5 points and the total set at 40.5. Below, we break down our top Eagles vs. Commanders player props, complete with the lines and the matchup context behind each play.

Best NFL Sunday Night Football Player Prop Picks

Both NFC East teams are in rough shape. Philadelphia has lost five straight and is without Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season with a blood clot, with Tanner McKee at quarterback and DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks sidelined. Washington is coming off a bye but is without Terry McLaurin and Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and its pass defense ranks 27th in DVOA. Here are the props we like best for Sunday night.

Eagles vs. Commanders Player Props: Chig Okonkwo Over 3.5 Receptions

Okonkwo has become a dependable piece of Washington's passing game since returning from a hamstring injury, catching four of six targets for 60 yards against the Giants and all seven of his targets for 69 yards against San Francisco, his most receiving yards in a game since Week 12 of 2024. Over those two games he posted a 72.6% route share and a 16.9% target share and led the Commanders with 13 targets, 11 catches, and 129 yards. Terry McLaurin is out for the season with a torn patellar tendon and running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt is out, so Washington figures to lean on Okonkwo, Stefon Diggs, and rookie Antonio Williams. Philadelphia ranks 27th in DVOA against tight ends and has the league's fifth-lowest pressure rate, which should give Jayden Daniels time to find his tight end, and the Commanders are roughly 5.5-point home favorites coming off a bye. Okonkwo had just two catches in two of his four games, so this is a recency bet, but clearing 3.5 receptions looks very reasonable.

Eagles vs. Commanders Player Prop Bets: Makai Lemon Over 4.5 Receptions

Lemon has seen his role grow every week, topping out with seven catches for 67 yards and his first career touchdown on eight targets against Dallas on Monday, playing 56 of Philadelphia's 62 offensive snaps with DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks sidelined. Both receivers have been held out of practice for two weeks and are expected to miss Sunday night as well, leaving Lemon as the de facto WR1 for Tanner McKee, who praised his grit and the quick-hitting concepts Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion has built around him. Lemon has 25 catches on 37 targets for 194 yards on the season, including 15 catches in his last three games, and he has reached five catches in at least two of his seven games. Washington ranks 27th in pass defense DVOA, 26th against WR2, and last against tight ends, which should help Philadelphia's short passing game, and the Eagles are roughly 5.5-point road underdogs who figure to be throwing. His 4.5 line asks for the same volume he had last week, so this is a role bet, but with the top two receivers out it is a reasonable one.

Sunday Night Football Player Props: Jayden Daniels Over 38.5 Rushing Yards

Daniels has 213 rushing yards through four games, an average of 53.3 per game, and he has topped this number twice, with 69 yards at Dallas and 103 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants in his return from a dislocated left elbow. San Francisco held him to 10 yards on four carries last week, but Philadelphia ranks 25th in rush defense DVOA and has the league's fifth-lowest pressure rate, a more comfortable spot for a quarterback who averages 8.5 yards per carry this season. He practiced in full on his left elbow, and with Terry McLaurin done for the year and Croskey-Merritt out, Daniels and the offense may lean more heavily on his legs. Washington is a roughly 5.5-point home favorite coming off a bye, and clearing 38.5 rushing yards looks like a good bet.
