WASHINGTON vs Minnesota (-1)

The Redskins got the win last week in Seattle, which may have masked their poor offensive line play. The past two weeks, Washington’s patchwork offensive line has allowed a sack rate of 13% and the run blocking hasn’t been any better with the Redskins gaining just 2.6 ypr. Shawn Lauvao, Brandon Scherff, and Trent Williams are questionable again this week and it could get ugly if those starters don’t play against Minnesota’s front seven who rank top 10 in both sack rate and run stopping.

The Vikings will have spent their bye week trying to get healthier at quarterback and looking for ways to improve their run game without Dalvin Cook, who was averaging 4.8 ypr before his injury. All other Vikings rushers gain just 3.7 ypr but Jerick McKinnon has shown promise as a pass catcher with 41 receiving yards per game since Cook’s injury. Washington’s defensive secondary is healthy again with both starting cornerbacks playing together for the first time in weeks last week at Seattle. That unit was the reason for the upset win and the defense will have to play well again this week since the offense could struggle again if at least some of the injured offensive line starters don’t suit up. I’ll pass but I’d lean with Washington if a couple of their injured linemen are cleared to play.
