Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Football Team Player Props (12/12/21)

Among several high-profile Week 14 matchups, a classic divisional showdown between two teams jockeying for playoff position in Washington and Dallas should provide plenty of entertainment. Both teams have excellent offensive talent that will be relied upon for fantasy football matchups, and there are plenty of intriguing players to target for player props this week. You can use the player prop search tool below to find the best values in your betting market for the Cowboys vs. Washington game. Let’s take a look at some different spots to target.

Dak Prescott Over 2.5 Passing Touchdowns

I try to select these player props based on recent trends most of the time, but that isn’t the case here. Since October, Dak Prescott hasn’t thrown for three touchdowns in a game, and he only has seven touchdown passes over his last five games. However, the Cowboys are finally healthy in the receiving corps, with Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup ready to go this week. Washington has allowed 26 passing touchdowns this year, tied for the most in the NFL. With Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard banged up, Dallas will likely throw around the goalline a bit more this week. While I hate using the word “due” in betting analysis, it is true for Prescott as I believe he’s due for a big performance in this advantageous matchup.

CeeDee Lamb Over 69.5 Receiving Yards

In line with my high hopes for Prescott, I believe CeeDee Lamb will have a big game this week. There are indeed a lot of mouths to feed in Dallas with a cadre of talented receivers, but Lamb is arguably the best of the bunch. Lamb has had over 70 receiving yards in seven of eleven games despite a weird season with injuries and inconsistencies, suitable for a 64% hit rate. Washington has allowed 263.9 passing yards per game, the third-most in the NFL, and they don’t have any cornerbacks with the talent to cover Lamb one-on-one. Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup have taken a back seat to Lamb in recent weeks, and I expect that to be the case again in this game.

Antonio Gibson Over 17.5 Rushing Attempts

I included this prop in my analysis for the Washington game last week, and I have no clue why the line hasn’t been adjusted. Washington is right back into the Wild Card conversation in the NFC, and it’s partially due to how they have been able to establish the run over the past month. Gibson has 19+ carries in each of the team’s four games since their bye week, and it’s not a coincidence that all four have been wins. Dallas has a decent run defense – they have allowed the fourteenth-fewest rushing yards per game – but Gibson’s level of involvement has led to great results for Washington, and it would be surprising to see them go away from him this week.

Adam Humphries Over 20.5 Receiving Yards

Dallas ranks #1 in pass defense DVOA against WR1s but has been vulnerable to other positions and has allowed the fifth-most passing yards this season. With Curtis Samuel spending all year dealing with a groin injury and Logan Thomas out for the remainder of the season, Washington has been looking for another reliable target to pair with Terry McLaurin. Adam Humphries has emerged as that player in recent weeks as he’s averaging 24.4 receiving yards over his last five games and has gone over 21 yards in four of his previous six. Humphries got five targets last week and should see significant involvement again in this game.
