Analytics: Washington averages 24.0 points per game, tied for eighth. They scored 41 points despite only 315 total yards thanks to efficient red-zone execution and two defensive touchdowns. The defense held Las Vegas to 14 second-half points and forced two turnovers.

Injuries: Wide receiver Terry McLaurin exited with a quad injury. Safety Will Harris suffered a fractured fibula and is expected to miss significant time.

Betting: Washington was a 2.5-point favorite and covered. The 65 total points went well over the 43.5-point line.

Fantasy: Marcus Mariota’s rushing and passing production makes him a QB2 streamer. Jeremy McNichols and Brian Robinson will share touches if McNichols’ breakout continues. Keep an eye on Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson for increased targets if McLaurin misses time.
