Week 6 exposed the Commanders’ offensive fragility: injuries decimated the receiver corps, the line couldn’t sustain protection, and the Bears pressed a tight, man-oriented coverage plan that stifled downfield options. With McLaurin and Brown out, Washington leaned on a patchwork group and a mobile Jayden Daniels, but the lack of separation and a stalled ground game left the offense stagnating. Fantasy players should expect continued risk until more pass-catchers emerge and the line stabilizes.

Charles Jones Jr., Bears offensive tackle for seven seasons and a 2018 Pro Bowler, retires at 34. He wrapped his NFL run with the Washington Commanders (2021-23) and announced the move after a family tragedy—the miscarriage of his daughter Paitynn in Oct 2023. His Instagram note frames the retirement as a fundamental shift from football to family, following a calf injury and a 2024 waiver.
