Daniel Jones Week 6 Outlook - Commanders at Giants

He's thrown the ball deep just 5.5 percent of the time, the lowest mark in the league, which means he needs to consistently get the ball into his receivers' hands due to the lack of splash plays. He's clearly not good enough to do that. It's odd why they don't take more shots down the field, as he's completed 5-of-10 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown on them, good for a 129.2 QB Rating. It certainly doesn't help that he's been under pressure on a league-high 43.8 percent of his dropbacks. So, when you know that Washington boasts the fourth-highest sack-rate in the league, it should make you concerned. It's no surprise that in the games they failed to generate a lot of pressure (Weeks 3 and 4), they allowed Lamar Jackson and Jared Goff to average over 9.0 yards per attempt. If Washington doesn't get after Jones early and often, their secondary can be exposed, but do the Giants have the guys to take advantage of that? Probably not. After struggling against a soft Cowboys defense, there's no way you can start Jones confidently.
