Link to story Commanders | Terry McLaurin catches five passes Thu Dec 25, 05:03 PM
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin caught five passes for 63 yards against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17. He was targeted seven times during the game.
| Footballguys view: With only 41 offensive plays and a third-string quarterback in Josh Johnson, it was a tough go for the Commanders' offense on Christmas. McLaurin will see if he can do more in the Week 18 finale against the Eagles. After a disappointing fantasy season, we'll all be expecting the Commanders to bounce back with a healthy Jayden Daniels in 2026. |

Commanders | Deebo Samuel finishes with 68 receiving yards Thu Dec 25, 04:59 PM
Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel caught two passes for 68 yards on four targets against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17. He also rushed for 25 yards on two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Samuel had the play of the day for the passing game with a 41-yard catch and run. The Commanders only had 41 plays on offense, and they were starting a third-string quarterback in Josh Johnson. A good fit for the Commanders when healthy, Samuel is set to be a free agent in 2026. |

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Croskey-Merritt was one of only a couple of bright spots for the Commanders on Christmas. His 72-yard touchdown run was a thing of beauty and provided what little spark the Commanders could generate. |
Commanders | Josh Johnson throws for 198 yards Thu Dec 25, 04:51 PM
Washington Commanders QB Josh Johnson went 15-for-23 for 198 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17. He also rushed for 10 yards on two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: That sounds about right for the veteran quarterback. Johnson was never going to fill up the score sheet, but he can play efficient and effective football. With only 41 offensive plays against the Cowboys, it was difficult for them to do much. |

Commanders | Josh Johnson starting Thursday Wed Dec 24, 12:22 PM
Washington Commanders QB Josh Johnson will start against the Dallas Cowboys Thursday, Dec. 25, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Johnson, a fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2008, has bounced around to over a dozen NFL teams during his career. He's a trusted backup with rushing ability, but with Johnson starting it does downgrade the Washington passing game. Adjust expectations for guys like Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel accordingly. |

He has gotten 'a lion's share' of the reps in practice, head coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday, Dec. 23, and he might start his first NFL game since 2021.
| Footballguys view: Commanders HC Dan Quinn has announced Johnson will start for the Commanders on Christmas against the Cowboys. Johnson, a fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2008, has bounced around to over a dozen NFL teams during his career.

Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) hasn't been ruled out for the Week 17 game Thursday, Dec. 25.
| Footballguys view: Mariota has stitches in his throwing hand, while also dealing with a quad injury, so his status on a short week was very doubtful. And while Quinn might not be ready to rule him out yet, the coach said that backup Josh Johnson will be getting the majority of starts in practice as they prepare to play the Cowboys on Thursday. |

Commanders | Jeff Driskel picked up by Commanders Mon Dec 22, 12:02 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jeff Driskel was signed off the practice squad by the Washington Commanders Monday, Dec. 22.
| Footballguys view: On Saturday, Marcus Mariota, filling in for Jayden Daniels, was forced out early against the Eagles. Mariota is considered day-to-day, head coach Dan Quinn said Sunday, adding that Mariota is nursing a quadriceps injury, in addition to a hand ailment. The Commanders play on Christmas Day against the Cowboys, so we should consider Mariota questionable at best. That leaves the team with Josh Johnson as the only healthy body at the position. Driskel will add to that. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota listed as day to day Sun Dec 21, 03:35 PM
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (quadriceps, hand) is considered day-to-day, head coach Dan Quinn said Sunday, Dec. 21. Quinn said Mariota is nursing a quadriceps injury, in addition to a hand ailment.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders play on Christmas day against the Cowboys, so we should consider Mariota questionable at best. Even with the very attractive Cowboys matchup, Mariota isn't an automatic play in 2QB/Superflex if active because of these injuries. Josh Johnson would start if Mariota can't go and be on the upside desperation play list for 2QB/Superflex leagues. |
