Which traits define the Commanders DNA and what could potentially swing their season.
Jayden Daniels gives Washington a stable plan at quarterback. An 84.3 grade is good enough for the Commanders to build around.
Washington can trust its offense most weeks. An 81.1 grade gives the Commanders a solid starting point, even if the unit is not dominant.
Washington has not played well enough lately. The 68.5 Recent Performance grade is the clearest warning sign for the Commanders.
Is Brandon Aiyuk on his way to the Commanders? It sure seems like it. There is chatter that the 49ers might release him before training camp.
- PFM Staff
Washington is No. 17 in the latest PFM rankings with a score of 78.6. That lands the team in our In the Playoff Mix tier. Inside the NFC East, the Commanders are No. 2. PFM sees a fairly even team on both sides of the ball: 81.1 on offense and 73.4 on defense. Jayden Daniels is the biggest reason for the In the Playoff Mix archetype. QB Stability is the top grade at 84.3.
There is a 15.8-point gap between the best and worst grades. This is still a very uneven team. At 68.5, Recent Performance is keeping expectations in check.
