San Francisco 49ers vs Washington Commanders: Chig Okonkwo Over 14.5 Receiving Yards (Alt) (-256)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The San Francisco 49ers are up against the Washington Commanders at home, and this matchup looks promising for Chig Okonkwo. Last season, the Commanders had a tough time defending against tight ends, giving up an average of 0.8 touchdowns per game, which is higher than most teams. With the 49ers' quarterback facing extra rushers often, Chig has a good chance to be a key target for short passes, especially since he accounted for a decent chunk of their downfield yardage.
Betting on Okonkwo to get over 14.5 receiving yards seems like a solid pick. The 49ers' solid offense should create opportunities for him, but it's worth noting that San Francisco also struggled against tight ends last season. This could mean a close battle for yards, but with the right game plan, Chig should be able to shine.
