Commanders predictions: Carson Wentz as QB1, Chase Young’s production and more

Imagine being tasked with making predictions about this franchise. Ron Rivera to @TheAthletic on whether the 70% snaps clause in Carson Wentz's contract would affect future decisions: “It shouldn’t have to. Meanwhile, edge rusher Montez Sweat leads all defensive players with 16 QB hits, per PFF.. Washington’s run defense also ranks second in DVOA, per Football Outsiders. Here’s where Washington’s tight ends rank in various offensive stats this season, per TruMedia: Routes: 366 Targets: 53 Receptions: 31 Catch rate: 58.5 percent Receiving yards: 277 YAC per reception: 4.94 Touchdown receptions: 1 First-down receptions: 14 Injuries play a factor, but these paltry numbers are no one-off. Here’s the best guess: With Terry McLaurin establishing a career high in receiving yards, Payne matching Allen’s nine sacks from last season, and linebacker Jamin Davis no longer tagged with the “bust” label, Washington will win three more games to finish 7-10, again.
