Quinn stressed run defense and tackling as Week 1 nears, citing preseason progress and new interior heft from Goldman, Kinlaw, and Wise Jr. to tighten the middle. Technically, the defense should be more cohesive with added mass and better technique up front.

Fantasy angle: a sturdier run defense could cap opposing RBs and lift Washington's D/ST floor in favorable spots. Early-season snaps and rotation will dictate how quickly these gains show in fantasy points.
