The NFL doesn't care that the Washington Commanders are dealing with significant injury issues. Games come thick and fast, so it's a next man up mentality for head coach Dan Quinn's squad in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Quinn is fighting his way through the storm. Terry McLaurin became the latest injury complication this week, which rules him out of Washington's trip to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. He could potentially be out for even longer than that, although going to injured reserve is unlikely right now.
It's a depleted squad, but it's also a talented one. They have enough to beat the Falcons, although they must be wary of their response to getting shut out in Week 3. Nothing but digging deep and displaying the correct resolve will do.

Commanders at Falcons odds for Week 4
According to the latest odds from FanDuel Sportsbook, the Commanders are 2.5-point underdogs at the Falcons in Week 4. They were favored earlier in the week, but the team's injury issues have seen the script flipped.
- Washington +2.5 points: -102 (bet $102 to win $100)
- Atlanta -2.5 points: -120 (bet $120 to win $100)
Anyone wishing to wager on the Commanders' money line can get odds of +134 currently (bet $100 to win $134). The Falcons are narrowly favored to put their embarrassing Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers behind them at -188 (bet $188 to win $100).
FanDuel Sportsbook has set the over/under at 43.5 points for the contest. Again, this was much higher earlier in the week, but the dynamic has changed.

- Under 43.5 points: -108 (bet $108 to win $100)
Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
Marcus Mariota prop bets
With Jayden Daniels once again out of the lineup as he continues to work his way back from a sprained knee, the Commanders are leaning on the veteran presence of Marcus Mariota to get them over the line. It's another of the signal-caller's old teams, so the revenge factor should provide all the motivation needed to put together another accomplished display.
Mariota's over/under for passing yards stands at 201.5, which is available at -112 in both directions (bet $112 to win $100). He is projected to complete around 18.5 passes from 28.5 attempts. The former Oregon standout's over/under for passing touchdowns is 1.5.
- Over 1.5 passing touchdowns: +158 (bet $100 to win $158)
- Under 1.5 passing touchdowns: -205 (bet $205 to win $100)
