Overview
- Washington will be without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels after he dislocated his left elbow in Week 2, leaving the team to rely on backup options for the Week 3 home game.
- Stefon Diggs has emerged as Washington’s primary playmaker through two games, leading the team in targets, receptions, yards and touchdowns and showing the best form of the receiving corps.
- Terry McLaurin has struggled early, catching four passes for 64 yards on 13 targets and posting a 30.8% catch rate, but he says he is 'not really too pressed' and expects plays to come.
- Washington’s season home debut at Northwest Stadium against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks presents a difficult matchup because Seattle ranks first in pass defense and allows the fewest passing yards per game.
- Fantasy analysts are favoring Diggs over McLaurin for Week 3 while coaches and fans will watch which backup quarterback starts and how game plans adapt to Seattle’s pressure and zone-heavy coverage.
