The Tennessee Titans (2-2) will be guests of the Washington Commanders (1-3) on Sunday at FedEx Field in Washington, DC.  

The Commanders just suffered a defeat at the hands of the Cowboys in Dallas in week four, a division game that could end up costing them later in the season. The offense continues to be the primary source of the problems, as Carson Wentz has managed just 18 points in their last two games; both losses. Washington defeated Jacksonville to start the season, but since then, it has suffered big losses to Detroit, Philadelphia, and Dallas. 

The Titans defeated the Colts 24-17 in Indianapolis last weekend despite being field goal underdogs.  After a challenging opening loss to the Giants, which was followed by a 34-point loss to Buffalo, they have now won two straight games. Star RB Derrick Henry, who has the 11th-most rushing yards in the NFL this season, is once again the Titans' most important player and figures to play a major role in this one.

Let's take a closer look at the three players I'm keyed in on.

Washington Commanders vs. Tennessee Titans Best Player Prop Picks

Ryan Tannehill - Passing Yards Over 211.5 (-110)

This season, Tannehill has quietly gotten off to a good start. His current rankings include sixth in yards per throw attempt (7.8), 11th in passing points per attempt, 11th in completion rate (66.3%), and 11th in EPA per dropback (.449).

With a small receiving group that last week relied on Henry to lead the club in targets, this is the new situation in Tennessee. Of course, the Titans continue to lack the motivation to throw the ball, for some reason, but I think we see that change this week as they need to start picking up wins in a crowded AFC. 

Last Saturday, after Tannehill went 12-of-15 for 103 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, Tennessee sputtered and completed just six passes. However, unlike last week vs. a stingy Colts secondary, he now faces an excellent matchup here against a Washington defense.

Robert Woods - Receiving Yards Over 50.5 (-110)

Robert Woods has had two straight strong performances after a sluggish start to the season, scoring double-digit fantasy points in each of his previous two contests. Nothing spectacular, yet, but Woods and Ryan Tannehill's connection seems to be improving, which gives us optimism that Woods will revert to something resembling the WR2 he has been throughout his career.

In addition, with rookie Treylon Burks expected to lose time with an injury, the Titans may need to rely even more on Woods. Eclipsing this mark two weeks ago vs. the Raiders, the Commanders have a similarly porous secondary and I like for him to get there once again here.

Anytime Touchdown - Derrick Henry (-110)

We already touched on Henry’s dominance above, but he comes into this week with a tough matchup vs. this Commander's defense. While I think his yards suffer, I do think he finds the endzone.
