Expert Analysis from Mike McClure
The Denver Broncos are set to face the Washington Commanders this Sunday night at 8:20 p.m. ET. With Denver featuring a robust defense and Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels currently out due to an elbow injury, the game’s over/under has dropped from 45.5 to 43.5 points. Additionally, Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II returns, further complicating matters for the Commanders’ offense.

Top Picks from Mike McClure
One of McClure’s primary recommendations is to target Bo Nix, the Broncos quarterback. Despite not being renowned for his fantasy productivity, Nix recently threw for 295 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in his last outing. The Commanders have been vulnerable against opposing quarterbacks this season, ranking third in the most fantasy points allowed, offering an advantageous matchup for Nix.

Moreover, McClure emphasizes the importance of drafting Terry McLaurin, the veteran receiver for the Commanders, who will be back in action after missing time due to injury. As underdogs, the Commanders are likely to rely on a passing game late in the match, presenting ample opportunities for McLaurin to rack up stats.
