The Lions are coming off a rare poor performance at home, where they lost 27-24 to the Vikings. This is a get-right spot for them against a Washington team in turmoil. The Commanders have a below-average pass rush while their linebackers and secondary are among the worst in the NFL. Their offense was already struggling due to a slew of injuries at WR but they also just lost franchise QB Jayden Daniels to what looks like a serious injury. The Lions are third in the league in defensive DVOA and eighth in offensive DVOA. They'll be highly motivated to run up the score, given their Week 9 loss and their playoff loss to the Commanders in January.

This is a bounce-back spot for the Lions, and the Commanders could be without No. 1 quarterback Jayden Daniels after he sustained a left elbow injury that was serious enough for him to exit the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Of course, Washington also ranks 17th in defensive DVOA while allowing the sixth-highest EPA per play, so I expect the Detroit offense to have a big day and score enough points to cover the number.

Star rating: 5 out of 5
The Washington Commanders may rely on the pass game less this week (and call more rushes) since they be starting backup QB Marcus Mariota.. The Commanders are a huge 9.5-point underdog in this game, likely leading to an extreme passing game script.. At the moment, the 7th-fastest paced team in football (context-neutralized) according to the projection model is the Commanders.. In this contest, Marcus Mariota is forecasted by the projections to average the 7th-most pass attempts out of all QBs with 36.0.

In this contest, Jahmyr Gibbs is predicted by our trusted projection set to position himself in the 94th percentile among RBs with 4.0 targets.. With an exceptional 14.0% Target Share (95th percentile) this year, Jahmyr Gibbs stands as one of the pass-catching running backs with the highest volume in football..

The Commanders pass defense has exhibited bad efficiency versus running backs this year, conceding 8.54 adjusted yards-per-target to the position: the 3rd-most in the NFL.
