NFL:
How does Niang’s injury impact the protection plan against Cincinnati’s pressure and the run-pass balance for Washington?
Qwiket AI:
Absent Niang, Washington must lean on depth and more efficient combinations to neutralize blitzes. If protection stabilizes with a more compact edge, Howell can push the ball downfield more confidently, enabling a more balanced attack. In fantasy, that could translate to steadier pass attempts and more sustainable rushes for the backfield.
