Jayden Daniels Returns for Commanders’ Week 5 Visit to the Chargers
Oddsmakers tilt toward Los Angeles on the strength of an elite pass defense.
Overview
- Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium on FOX, with Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi on the broadcast; out-of-market viewing is available via NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV or NFL+.
- After missing two games with a sprained knee, Jayden Daniels practiced fully all week, will wear a left-knee brace, and head coach Dan Quinn said he will not be limited.
- The Chargers will be without tackle Joe Alt for a few weeks due to a high ankle sprain, a setback for their pass protection following last week’s loss to the Giants.
- Los Angeles enters 3-1 with one of the NFL’s top pass defenses, posing a tough matchup for Washington, which is down multiple offensive players including Terry McLaurin.
- BetMGM lists the Chargers as 3-point favorites with a 47-point over/under, and fantasy analysts still endorse starting Daniels because his rushing threat profiles well against L.A.'s defense.
