The Washington Commanders are visiting the Kansas City Chiefs for Monday Night Football. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Kansas City is favored by 10 points with the game total set at 47.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Jacory Croskey-Merritt prop to consider from this contest.

Best Jacory Croskey-Merritt Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jacory Croskey-Merritt U 48.5 Rushing Yards (-112)

While Croskey-Merritt has been a great rusher in his rookie season, averaging 5.2 yards per carry, the Commanders being a huge 10-point road underdog vs. the Chiefs doesn’t bode well for the back. Croskey-Merritt hasn’t fared well in Washington’s four losses this season, averaging just 39.5 rushing yards per game in those defeats — compared to 73 rushing yards per game in the Commanders’ three wins.

Croskey-Merritt is averaging only 10.3 carries per game in losses, as Washington is naturally forced to rely on its passing game when trailing. Another concern for the 24-year-old is that the Chiefs have been strong against the run as of late, giving up the sixth-fewest yards per rush in the league over their last three games (3.9). During this span, the only player to exceed 49.5 rushing yards against Kansas City has been Jahmyr Gibbs, and it took the star halfback 17 carries to rush for 65 yards that week.

48.5 rushing yards is just too high a bar for Croskey-Merritt in this terrible spot. Backing him to underperform on Monday is a wise choice.
