Can Commanders protect QB Jayden Daniels?
The Washington Commanders are focusing on protecting their new quarterback, Jayden Daniels, after a disappointing season that saw them allow a franchise-record 65 sacks. With a rebuilt offensive line and a new offensive scheme under Kliff Kingsbury, the team aims to improve their pass protection and overall offensive efficiency. Coaches believe that Daniels' quick decision-making and mobility will alleviate some of the issues faced by the team last season, particularly those related to slow decision-making and play-calling. However, injuries and absences in the offensive line have created challenges during the preseason.

Commanders QB Sam Howell was benched in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Rams. He went 11 of 26 for 102 yards, one TD, and one INT, producing just seven points. QB Jacoby Brissett will finish this one out for Washington. We're guessing that Howell will be back under center next week -- but he gets brutal matchups the next two weeks vs. the Jets and 49ers. You should be looking for an alternative if you've been rolling with Howell as your fantasy starter.
