Jayden Daniels best prop bets for Commanders at Packers Week 2 Thursday Night Football

The Packers will host the Commanders for Week 2 of Thursday Night Football. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Green Bay is favored by 3.5 points, and the game carries a total of O/U 48.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Jayden Daniel prop bet to consider from Thursday’s contest.


Best Jayden Daniels Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jayden Daniels Over 45.5 Rushing Yards (-110)

Jayden Daniels led the team in carries (11) and ranked second in rushing yards (68) in Week 1 against the Giants, and should post a similar stat line in Week 2 against another tenacious pass rush in the Packers. Green Bay sacked Jared Goff five times in Week 1, but Daniels’ mobility versus the Packers’ speedy edge rushers should result in plenty of scramble attempts for the 24-year-old.

Daniels cleared this line in Week 1 and in 9-of-17 games in 2024. Of those nine games in which he cleared 45.5 rushing yards, a good chunk of Daniels’ opponents featured strong pass-rushing defenses such as the Browns, Eagles and Cowboys. While the Packers allowed the ninth-fewest rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks last season, they still ranked in the top half of the league in rushing attempts allowed. Daniels ranked second among QBs in rushing attempts behind only Jalen Hurts and just led his own team in attempts one week ago.

This feels like a huge game, and it’s only Week 2. It’d be foolish to fade Daniels doing what he does best in a big game.
