Confidence in the Commanders’ direction stays high after Week 2, even with an offense that looked rusty and a defense that bent to Green Bay. Reacts shows 98% backing the plan as fans brace for a marathon season. Week 3 offers a home environment, a nine-day rest, and a chance to reset amid a murky NFC East picture that could shift with Sunday outcomes.

The schedule remains demanding: Raiders on a short week, Eagles and Rams on the horizon, and a division race that could swing from top to middle quickly. Injuries and coaching decisions loom large; the path to a meaningful season hinges on cleaner offense and sharper play-calling, not panic.

Week 2 fantasy decisions hinge on rebound potential for Pacheco, Mason, and Swift. Pacheco faces a stingy Eagles front and could see his workload grow, while Mason has momentum in Minnesota and looks poised to seize bellcow duties. Swift must translate earlier flashes into efficient carries and strong pass-game work against Detroit, still offering PPR upside.

Beyond these three, Judkins, Warren, Ridley, Odunze, Olave, Williams, and Meyers offer viable flex or streamer appeal, depending on format and roster depth. The analysis emphasizes workload, matchup, and efficiency to guide Week 2 starts and sits.
