Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders are looking to improve in 2026 after a challenging 2025 season that ended with a 5-12 record. Injuries plagued Daniels last season, preventing him from replicating his strong performance from 2024, where he was named Offensive Rookie of the Year. Despite skepticism from an NFL analyst who ranks the team 23rd in entertainment value, there is optimism surrounding Daniels' health and the influence of new first-time coordinator David Blough.
