Availability
The Commanders D/ST forced three turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble recovery) and scored a touchdown in a 33-31 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3.
Fantasy Impact
The unit made up for an otherwise forgettable day from a defense that allowed four touchdowns through the air, returning one their two interceptions for a 50-yard touchdown in the win. The unit remains difficult to trust ahead of a Week 4 contest against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Commanders D/ST allowed 37 points, 279 passing yards, and 66 rushing yards in the loss to the Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
The Commanders' defense tallied two sacks, but forced no turnovers in the loss to Dallas. They did a great job limiting the Cowboys rushing attack to 3.1 yards per carry. The Commanders' defense will need to be solid if they hope to win against Seattle in Week 3.
The Commanders D/ST recorded three sacks while failing to force any turnovers in a 24-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1.
Fantasy Impact
The unit was unable pressure the Philadelphia offense into any mistakes in the season-opening contest, allowing three touchdowns through the air and 318 total offensive yards in the loss. The unit will be difficult to trust ahead of a Week 2 contest against a Dallas Cowboys offense looking to put an underwhelming Week 1 performance in the rearview mirror.
The Commanders D/ST allowed 17 points while picking up three sacks and forcing one turnover in a 24-17 win over the Eagles in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Washington's defense benefited from the Eagles resting several key starters on offense, including Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and A.J. Brown. The Commanders will now head into the offseason looking to shore up the defensive side of the ball for 2026.
The Commanders D/ST recorded six sacks in a 30-23 loss to the Cowboys in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
The unit had little else go their way Thursday, allowing over 200 rushing yards in the Christmas Day loss. The unit remains a risky option in all formats ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles.
