Washington Commanders 2026 Predictions

Where we have them finishing

• Nick: 7-10
• Nico: 9-8
• Brooklyn: 10-7

Why

The Commanders upgraded their receiving room after signing Stefon Diggs and drafting Antonio Williams, which will help this offense who was bottom ten in scoring last season. A lot of that had to do with Jayden Daniels missing time, which is also another big question if the QB can stay healthy this season
— Nick, 7-10

It was not too long ago Jayden Daniels led this team to an NFC conference championship appearance, but this roster is not the same. O-Line + run game gives reason to worry. Obviously, the health of Daniels is the biggest factor, and I think they can make serious noise down the line if this roster can remain healthy.
— Nico, 9-8

Washington went 5-12 last year, with Jayden Daniels playing just 7 games after injuries. The offense scored only 20.9 PPG (22nd), while Terry McLaurin left a lot to be desired. Stefon Diggs had 1,013 yards and gives Daniels another proven target. If they can find chemistry, I think this team has real upside. 10-7.
— Brooklyn, 10-7
