Dallas Cowboys Week 18 Player Props: Zeke to Find Paydirt Yet

Dallas Cowboys Week 18 Player Props: Zeke to Find Paydirt Yet

The Dallas Cowboys enter the last week of the regular season with a chance to win the NFC East, the NFC's top seed, and a first-round bye after Thursday's 27-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The guys need the Philadelphia Eagles to lose to the New York Giants, assuming Dallas defeats the Washingtone commendars. 

Commanders, in order to win the division. The 49ers would need to lose against the Arizona Cardinals in order to finish as the conference's top seed, the Eagles would need to lose, and the Cowboys would need to win once more.

However, head coach Mike McCarthy should play his starters for the rest of the afternoon because the Cowboys won't formally know their fate by the time kickoff comes around.

My top Cowboys player props for Sunday's finale are noted below now that Dallas' playoff scenarios are taken care of. Let's do this

RB EZEKIEL ELLIOTT – ANY TIME TOUCHDOWN SCORER (+110)

Elliott has been a touchdown machine; last week against the Titans, he scored a touchdown in the end zone for the ninth game in a row. The Commanders will start rookie quarterback Sam Howell and have allowed opponents to score on 43.8% of their possessions since Week 14 (fourth worst in the NFL).

Elliott will benefit from the abundance of opportunities to score big, as well as the fact that Washington has nothing to play for after being eliminated from postseason contention in Week 17. Overall, I'm betting on a strong performance from the Cowboys offence and for Zeke to continue his streak of touchdown passes.

Tony Pollard, RB: 42.5+ yards running (-110)

Due to a thigh injury, Pollard was forced to miss Week 17. He has since fully recovered and is expected to play on Sunday. If the 25-year-old plays, he will face a Commanders defence that has recently struggled against the run, giving up 142.1 rushing yards per game over the past three weeks.

Given that top defensive end Jonathan Allen is sidelined this week with a knee injury sustained in the Washington Commanders' 24-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns last Sunday, Washington will be even more exposed up front this week. With a season average of 5.3 yards per rush, Pollard has a chance to make a number of sizable gains. I want the OVER.
