Coming into last season, the Washington Commanders looked to have a talented receiver room poised to make life tough on opposing secondaries. Their quarterback situation was a bit of a mess, though, which is driven home by the fact that neither Sam Howell (Seattle Seahawks) nor Jacoby Brissett (New England Patriots) are still with the club, replaced by No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels and journeyman Marcus Mariota, respectively.
While leading receiver Terry McLaurin returns, Curtis Samuel (62-613-4) signed with the Buffalo Bills, creating a lineup hole in the team hopes it filled with the selection of WR Luke McCaffrey. Jahan Dotson also is back, coming off a disappointing sophomore campaign.
Where this unit lands will have a lot to do with Daniels, and how ready he is to step in to deliver for new offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, who led some prolific offenses in college. Although we can expect some growing pains from the rookie, the pieces are in place for Washington to produce some fantasy-worthy receivers.
