The Washington Commanders have been without their star quarterback, Jayden Daniels, for the past two weeks, but he's set to return to the field in Week 5 when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers, who are coming off a loss against the Giants.

You can find my best overall bet for this game in this week's edition of the Road to 272 Bets, and in this article, I'm going to break down my top player props. Let's dive into them.

Commanders vs. Chargers Best NFL Prop Bets

Jayden Daniels UNDER 212.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Jayden Daniels has a tough test in his return to the field after missing two weeks due to injury. He and the Commanders will take on an elite Chargers pass defense that has given up the second-fewest yards per pass attempt this season at 5.0, while also ranking first in opponent dropback success rate and fourth in opponent dropback EPA.

Jayden Daniels' first two starts at QB weren’t great this season. He completed just 59.7% of passes for an average of 216.5 yards. I'm not sure if he’ll be ready to hit the ground running after coming back from injury against an elite secondary

Keenan Allen Anytime Touchdown (+155)

Keenan Allen has made an immediate impact since returning to the Chargers, leading the team in receptions this season with 24. He's also had a nose for the end zone, already scoring three touchdowns. Let's bet on his strong season continuing in Week 5 by betting on him to score his fourth touchdown of the year at +155 odds.

Omarion Hampton OVER 67.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Omarion Hampton had his breakout game in the Chargers' Week 4 loss to the Giants, going for 128 yards and a touchdown on just 12 carries. With Najee Harris now sidelined, I expect Hampton's production to continue at a high level. I'll bet on him to go over his rushing yards once again.
