What are the Key Matchups in Denver Broncos vs Washington Commanders?

Jaleel McLaughlin (4.4 YPC) has a favourable matchup vs a Commanders side giving up 7.3 yards/play. Lean on him in both traditional and prop markets.

Bryant’s 15.4 yards/reception and deep role stress a Commander secondary that has struggled versus big plays this year. His prop market is one to watch.
