3 names on these lists reach him directly. Alec Pierce, D.J. Montgomery +1 — flagged in Availability — are the teammates whose status changes his own workload. The rest reach him through the game, not his role.
Across both clubs, 10 ruled out and 0 questionable. A thinner defence argues for more possessions — volume, which is most of a yards prop — though it cuts both ways, since trailing throws more and leading throws less.
Counted from the two lists above rather than typed, so this can’t disagree with them. It reads the report; it does not predict who plays.
Key research points
What this line assumes, and what the data shows. You make the call.
The read
The market lists Daniel Jones at 8.5 longest rush. He has cleared this line in 0 of 3 games. Our projection, built from his own games and never from the line, is 5.6. WAS ranks 1st of 32 in runs stopped at or behind the line and 32nd in loaded boxes (8+ defenders). Research, not a pick — the call is yours.

A yards prop is a rate times a volume. The rates live in Usage; this is the volume they act on — the offence’s per-game workload and his projected share of it.
Usage & opportunity
Roughly 70% of any prop outcome is opportunity, not efficiency. This is the section that predicts.
