Jason Logan's Washington Commanders preview for 2024, where he's bearish on the new Daniels-McLaurin connection.
Jason Logan takes a long look at the new-look Commanders, trying to find the best betting value on the board while sizing up rookie QB Jayden Daniels and veteran WR Terry McLaurin ahead of the 2024-25 NFL season.It’s always darkest before dawn, and the Washington Commanders’ 4-13 finish to 2023 was pretty damn dark.
Not all the pieces are in place and this team is very much a work in progress. That’s why we find the Commanders getting points in 14 of their 17 games this season. That said, oddsmakers aren’t discounting those positive changes in the nation’s capital, with Washington drawing 11 spreads within a field goal .and divisional big dogs Dallas and Philadelphia, but current NFL odds give the Commanders the nod over New York in the NFC East.
Based on look-ahead lines, Washington will trail in most games which means a need to pass and score quickly. But if downfield strikes don’t have time to develop, Daniels will be pushing the panic button and either throwing short or running for his life – the latter of which could prove disastrous for a slender rookie QB.Last year, Washington faced a doozy of a schedule and the team tapped out by November, knowing an offseason overhaul was coming.
New OC Kliff Kingsbury returns to the desert to face his former team but does so on a short week. The Commanders play in Cincinnati on Monday night in Week 3, leaving little turnaround time for this cross-country trek. To make matters worse, Washington is playing its third road game in the first four weeks, when players are still working their way into proper game shape.
With a rookie QB and a turnstile offensive line, those deeper shots to “Scary Terry” could be few and far between. McLaurin will often be a deep decoy and open up space for safer throws underneath. And with more involvement from fellow WRs Jahan Dotson and Luke McCaffrey, McLaurin's touches will dip.It’s tough to transfer any trend over to the new-look Commanders, considering this franchise has undergone a top-to-bottom renovation.
