2026 Outlook
Commanders' dual-threat QB returning from injury (played only 4 games in 2025) after strong rookie campaign in 2024. Healthy Daniels has demonstrated top-5 QB ceiling with elite dual-threat metrics (15% designed rush rate, 12% scramble rate) that help unlock the running game. Paired with healthy Terry McLaurin and new TE Chig Okonkwo under new OC David Blough's uptempo, play-action heavy scheme.
