Commanders vs Ravens Prop Picks: Derrick Henry Leads Top Prop Bets for NFL Week 6
- Derrick Henry could exploit Washington’s leaky run defense in the Week 6 matchup.
- Jayden Daniels may need to have a big game passing the ball for Washington to win its fifth game in a row.
- Read on to see the top three Commanders vs Ravens player prop bets for Week 6.
Believe it or not, Sunday’s game between the Washington Commanders and the Baltimore Ravens is not a 1-on-1 matchup between dynamic quarterbacks Jayden Daniels and Lamar Jackson.
Both quarterbacks have a chance to add to their impressive stats but when it comes to the Week 6 NFL player props, there are other players from the 4-1 Commanders and the 3-2 Ravens that merit attention.
It has been four years since the Commanders and the Ravens have squared off during the regular season. In the previous matchup, Jackson threw for two scores and ran for another in a 31-17 win by the Ravens.
The NFL betting odds list the Ravens as the 6.5-point favorite. The total is at 52 and that is tied for the highest among the Week 6 games. The game is set to start shortly after 4:25 p.m. ET and will air on CBS.

Top 3 NFL Prop Bets for Commanders vs Ravens
1. King Henry Could Find Plenty of Running Room
When looking at NFL trends, Washington ranks 22nd in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game heading into Week 6.
Tampa Bay rookie Bucky Irving averaged 6.2 yards per carry in the season opener. Devin Singletary of the New York Giants flirted with a 100-yard game. The Cincinnati duo of Chase Brown and Zack Moss averaged 6.3 yards per carry and in a win over Arizona. Not only did James Conner go over 100 yards but the three running backs for the Cardinals had 178 yards on 31 carries.
None of those backs mentioned are as talented as Baltimore’s Derrick Henry so this could be another huge game for the star back.

The -118 odds for Henry to have at least 85 rushing yards seems like a safe way to proceed. Others may take the +110 odds for Henry to hit the 95-yard mark.
Bet on Derrick Henry to Have 85+ Receiving Yards (-118)
2. Jayden Daniels May Need to Air It Out
No team is harder to run against than the Baltimore Ravens. Add that little tidbit to the fact that Washington’s leading rusher, Brian Robinson, has been showing up on the NFL injury report with a knee issue and there could be more on the shoulders of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels in this game.
After completing more than 75% of his passes in three consecutive games, Daniels was a little off in last week’s win over Cleveland, completing 14 of 25 passes in the 34-13 win. He did top 225 passing yards for the fourth game in a row.

Keep that in mind when looking at the -118 BetUS sportsbook odds for Daniels to have at least 227 passing yards against the Ravens.

3. Will Mark Andrews Leave His Mark In Sunday’s Game?
When it comes to value bets, we are saving our best for last.
One of the more surprising statistics so far this season could be that heading into Week 6, there have been 23 tight ends targeted more frequently than Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens.
Andrews was targeted once each in wins over Dallas and Buffalo as he was utilized as a blocker for one of the top running teams in the NFL. After failing to record a catch in either one of those games, it was a different story in an action-packed Week 5 matchup with Cincinnati.
Andrews was targeted five times and finished with four catches and a season-best 55 receiving yards in the 41-38 overtime win against Cincinnati.
In the last three weeks, the Washington defense has allowed 14 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown to tight ends.
The slow start by Andrews has resulted in some enticing prop lines so consider the +140 odds for Andrews to have at least 36 receiving yards on Sunday in your NFL picks.
Bet on Mark Andrews to Have 36+ Receiving Yards (+140)
