Washington Commanders face a sizable reshuffle on the defensive line after Deatrich Wise's season ending injury. Dan Quinn says the unit will mix bigger, versatile bodies and move players around to compensate for the edge loss. Armstrong should start on the edge opposite, Holmes adds depth, Baptiste and Martin supply size, and Payne or Newton could slide outside in certain packages. The plan targets slowing big runners while preserving pressure.

Washington Commanders face Week 3 with a murkier injury outlook after Daniels knee MRI, leaving his Week 3 status uncertain. Bates and Brown are potential long shots to return, forcing role increases for Sinnott and Moore. Wise and Ekeler’s season-ending injuries deplete depth, pressing McLaurin, Samuel, and Lane to carry the receiving workload. The upcoming clash with the Raiders adds urgency to decision-making and lineup flexibility.

Las Vegas must rebound quickly after a MNF setback as they head East to face Washington, while Los Angeles shows a diversified attack with Keenan Allen back, Quentin Johnston stepping up, and Ladd McConkey providing depth. Maxx Crosby spoke postgame about the defensive effort, and Raiders special-teams coach Tom McMahon outlined how kickoff rules are reshaping the game. The matchup carries clear fantasy angles: Allen’s volume, Johnston’s growing ceiling, Crosby’s sack upside, and the impact of travel on week-two dynamics.

Week 3 streaming D/STs lean into cheap, high-floor plays as rosters chase under-owned options. Seattle hosts New Orleans with home-field and pass rush depth shaping upsides, while Tampa Bay’s defense benefits from QB instability in the NYJ matchup. Indianapolis, Atlanta, and Washington also present solid, low-cost streaming paths against Titans, Panthers, and Raiders respectively. The slate favors diversification over a single pick, and FAAB should be conserved for weeks with clearer, crowded schedules.
