What to do when a talented player vanishes from games like he’s playing ghosts in the graveyard, but while donning an NFL uniform? I’m sure you’ve seen the DeVonta Smith drops the last few weeks. It’s uncharacteristic from a such a reliable wide receiver like Smith. Let’s dive into the Eagles-Commanders player prop markets to pick the best bet for Week 8.

Eagles-Commanders Player Prop Bet for Week 8
Eagles-Commanders Information
Expert: Justin Martin
Watch: FOX
When: Sunday, Oct. 29 at 1 p.m. ET
Where: FedEx Field, Landover, MD.
Who: DeVonta Smith at DraftKings
Do you believe in bounce-back weeks? I do. DeVonta Smith has been quiet the last few weeks. The production of A.J. Brown isn’t helping Smith’s case. Brown has put together five straight games of at least 125 yards through the air. He’s on the verge of breaking the record set by Calvin Johnson. That isn’t going to stop me from backing Smith against a Washington Commanders defense that he knows very well.
Smith has had some of the biggest games of his career against this Commanders defense. In Week 4, he reeled in a season-high seven catches for 78 yards against them. Last year, he had a 169-yard game with eight catches. A wide receiver like Smith is hard to keep in check, and I expect the Eagles to get him involved in their patented screen game to get his confidence back up after weeks of drops. He was targeted 11 times in the Eagles’ only loss this season, which came against the New York Jets two weeks ago. He squeaked by this prop then but failed to do so last week against the Miami Dolphins in primetime.

You’ll find most major books offering Smith to record over 4.5 catches in the plus money. DraftKings is leading the way at +120, while FanDuel is offering this player prop at +116. With a hobbled Jalen Hurts, short dump-offs will be just fine to cash this prop.
