The Bears and Commanders will meet again in prime time this season, this time in Washington on "Thursday Night Football" (8:15 p.m. ET, Amazon Prime) to open NFL Week 5. As always, TNF brings us several interesting player props to consider on SuperDraft -- even if this week's particular matchup isn't setting any ratings records.

It's easy to get in on the action. If you successfully hit on two player props, you get 3x return. That exponentially grows all the way to 100x return for parlaying eight correct picks together at much longer odds. In other words, if you put down a $20 entry fee on our four props below and they all hit, you get paid $200.

Best Bears-Commanders prop bets: SuperDraft player prop picks for Week 5 TNF

*10x potential payout if users parlay all four correct picks

1. Brian Robinson Jr., RB, Commanders — OVER 65.5 rushing yards

Robinson has been outstanding overall. He still scored in a tough matchup with the Eagles while limited to 45 rushing yards. In the previous two weeks, he hit 70 rushing yards (vs. the Bills) and 87 rushing yards (vs. the Broncos). The Bears are giving up 115.5 yards rushing per game, so Robinson can easily produce more than double that here playing a bit of a closer role in the second half.

2. Justin Fields, QB, Bears — OVER 46.5 rushing yards

The Commanders have allowed significant rushing games to Russell Wilson (56) yards, Josh Allen (46), and Jalen Hurts (34). Only one of those QBs went over this total, but none of those QBs are the same dynamic runner as Fields. He will need to take off often enough with the traditional running game limited and the pass rush flushing him out of the pocket to scramble on non-designed runs.

3. Terry McLaurin WR, Commanders — OVER 59.5 receiving yards

Scary Terry was present in Philadelphia, one of his favorite matchups in the league. Now, he'll keep it up against a ripped-up Bears' secondary, often facing rookie cornerback Tyrique Stevenson. McLaurin has pulled away from Jahan Dotson as the top all-situations wideout for Sam Howell, and will he deliver with a good chance of hitting a century.

4. Cole Kmet, TE, Bears  — UNDER 32.5 receiving yards

Kmet destroyed Denver last week, but Washington is a different style of matchup. The Commanders have allowed virtually nothing to tight ends, giving up just 20.8 receiving yards per game to the position. That includes Dallas Goedert, who managed just two catches and 25 yards last week. Kmet goes back to doing nyet in the offense with this being more of a wideout game for Chicago.
