Deebo Samuel And 4 Other PrizePicks Plays For Monday Night Football: Bears Vs. Commanders

In this story:
Week 6 of Monday Night Football will feature a double-header, wrapped up with a matchup between the Washington Commanders and the Chicago Bears. Chicago will go on the road to take on the reigning NFC runner-ups, as each team looks to build on victories in their last time out.
The Bears are coming off a 25-24 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders prior to a Week 5 bye, looking to secure a third straight win on Monday night. The Commanders took down the Los Angeles Chargers with a 27-10 statement win, bouncing back from a Week 4 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
PrizePicks users will look for some of the league’s brightest young stars to show out in Monday night’s NFC showdown. Here are the five most favorable PrizePicks plays for the second of two games on Monday Night Football:
D’Andre Swift Over 48.5 Rushing Yards

The Commanders enter Monday night’s game with the 19th-ranked run defense in the NFL. This matchup works in the favor of Bears starting running back D’Andre Swift, who has struggled over the past two games after eclipsing 50 yards on the ground in each of his first two games of the season.
Swift should manage to bounce back as the Bears look to re-establish their rushing attack versus Washington.
Deebo Samuel Over 58.5 Receiving Yards

Deebo Samuel has emerged as Washington’s leading receiver to start the season, as star wideout Terry McLaurin continues to deal with injuries. Through five games, Samuel has eclipsed 70 yards three times and has seen six or more targets four times through such a span.
With McLaurin sidelined once again, Samuel will likely continue to see favorable volume to eclipse his 58.5-yard mark. Matched up against the No. 31 passing defense in the league, Samuel could manage another stellar performance.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt Over 68.5 Rushing Yards

Highly touted rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt emerged with a breakout performance in his fifth NFL game. Merritt recorded 111 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just 14 carries, emerging as the lead back in Washington’s backfield.
Merritt may not post triple-digit production versus the Bears, but it’s highly likely he’ll continue to build momentum versus a lowly Chicago run defense which, like its pass defense, ranks 31st in the NFL so far this season.
DJ Moore Over 39.5 Receiving Yards

Veteran wideout DJ Moore has seemingly taken a back seat to second-year receiver Rome Odunze in the receiving corps. Still, Moore has mustered five or more targets in each of Chicago’s four games this season, surpassing 35 receiving yards three times during that span.
Matched up versus Washington, Moore will likely draw a more favorable matchup as the Commanders secondary looks to slow Odunze’s hot streak of production over the past three games.
Bobby Wagner Over 9.0 Total Tackles

In his 14th NFL season, linebacker Bobby Wagner remains one of the league’s best tacklers at 35 years old. Through five games, Wagner has posted double-digit tackles each time out, entering Week 6 in a tie for fifth in the league in tackles.
Wagner’s stable production on the defensive side of the ball presents a favorable line for Monday night at just 9.0 total tackles, which would mark a new season-low for the veteran linebacker.
