Washington signs Miller to a one-year deal, betting on a sharper edge rush with Dorance Armstrong stepping up. Armstrong flashed with five sacks and playoff bursts last season, and coach Joe Whitt says Miller’s fast start and vast knowledge elevate the entire unit. Washington aims to turn defense into more frequent ball turnovers, a critical edge given Fowler’s 10.5 sacks from 2024. The pairing could lift sacks and generate more fantasy-friendly DC points this season.

Armstrong’s all-around game and Miller’s veteran pulse should create a more dynamic front. The Commanders hope Miller accelerates development on younger rushers while Armstrong capitalizes on cleaner rush lanes. If the front can pressure more often and disrupt dropping passes, fantasy managers drafting DC defenders could reap wins in bountiful turnover games.
