Marcus Mariota's sprained MCL leaves developmental arms behind Jayden Daniels — the one conditional the July projection cannot afford to test — the same week Stefon Diggs answered the WR2 question from outside the building. Washington won its opener 20 to 7 while holding out 26 players, and the win is not the story.

Dan Quinn's words, not ours — and the padded practices backed him: four touchdown throws Wednesday, red-zone command, and an install with visible Ben Johnson fingerprints. The bounce the market already priced needed one thing to be true. It's checking out.

LEAN: UNDERPRICED — the QB6 as a rookie with a genuine rushing floor, priced QB5 after a seven-game elbow injury. The market is over-weighting the injury, under-weighting the profile.

WATCHLIST — 13 TDs in 2024, 3 in 2025; a proven, aging vet whose ceiling year was touchdown-inflated.

McLaurin finished as the number 35 wide receiver in PPR per game and the number 56 in total scoring — a quietly efficient alpha role wrecked by seven missed games. The yards-after-catch number, just 93 all season, is the real on-field weakness; without explosive run-after-catch production, even a 23 percent target share couldn't generate the ceiling weeks fantasy managers needed.

Daniels finished as the number 34 quarterback in total PPR but the number 17 quarterback in per-game scoring — a starter-caliber pace cut short by availability. The weakness the data points to: just 8 passing touchdowns against 3 interceptions in seven games is a modest passing-score rate, and without the rushing production he'd have been borderline unrosterable in the down weeks.

The Washington Commanders' 2025 season in review — 5-12, Missed the Playoffs — with Marcus Mariota at quarterback and Deebo Samuel Sr. the leading receiver. Every stat that defined the year, plus what it means for 2026. A full data recap, by the numbers.
