And the article spelled Jurgensen wrong.

Fellow Washington fans, if you had to make a cut at WR, who would you drop in a PPR dynasty league between Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, or Romeo Doubs? I hate the drop any Washington player, could I justify dropping Doubs or would you drop Luke or Jaylin? I have been trying to read an updated report on who's likely to win the slot WR position and I can't find anything definitive, and I have to make a cut by 10pm tonight. Any thoughts here?
RGIII will lead the way
Footballguy
Everything I've seen has the reports about Lane more positive. I think Doubs will have value this year. I could be wrong but that's my 2 cents.

I'd keep Lane over McCaffrey. I haven't paid enough attention to Doubs to offer any advice there.
I think McCaffrey may be becoming another Reed Doughty --- does what he's asked to, tries hard, just isn't that good.

A reasonable start to the season against what appears to be a terrible Giants team. The tandem of Ekler and Bill (supplemented by McNichols) should be solid, the WRs are good (but we are very thin there), and the old, slow guy at TE looked pretty spry! Daniels was only OK -- hopefully will be better against tougher competition (as he was last year).

Speaking of old, reflecting on my excitement level to start the 2025 season compared to others.
1980s- Super Excited every single season as an elementary school kid and we were the 2nd best team of the decade, likeable HOF coach and players. Sports was everything at this time.
1992- Was trying to remember how excited I was coming off our last Super Bowl championship. I was entering HS, playing sports on my own, and becoming addicted to females. A lil less excited
2000- Remember being really excited about a return to glory. Arrington and Samuels at #2 and #3 in the draft. Signing aging HOFers in Bruce Smith and Deion. What a disappointment. Did not yet know what a complete disaster the owner was.
2004- The return of Joe Jackson Gibbs. Portis taking it to the house on his very first carry. But it fizzled out. Overall, Gibbs did his best in his return. But he was not set up for long term success and ultimately the 2007 Sean Taylor death (RIP) marked a really emotional time as a fan.
2013- Saw a question on social media asking to compare your excitement level after RG3's iconic rookie season. Hated the ALL IN campaign. Bad vibes from drama with coach, owner, QB's dad, etc. Did not have a great feeling entering that season.
2025- Don't know that I can remember feeling better about entering a season. Dynamic Franchise QB who has shown nothing but cool collected leadership, savvy GM, far enough removed from the clown ownership of before, seeing a deal done to COME BACK TO RFK with a new stadium, and coming of an NFCCG appearance where we got our butts kicked, but still feel like we can play with ANYONE. Foundation feels like its there to have an era that could rival, or dare say even surpass the 80s. Coming off a 14-6 overall season and one game away from the Super Bowl and the team looks to have improved considerably on both sides of the ball. Concerns about depth, much more difficult schedule, regression on things like health, 4th down %, etc. are there but this feels like an AMAZING time to be a Commanders/Skins fan.
Saying all that, I really like what I saw yesterday. This is the NFL. Get a W and come out relatively healthy is about all you can ask for on a week to week basis. I really enjoyed watching us comfortably win a game when the QB was just a bit off and we still had a lot of mistakes and penalties. Yes, NYG appear to be terrible but again, its the NFL. They still have talent and its a division game.
Defense- I LOVED seeing a grind it out, defensive led victory. NYG offensive line might be that bad but they did what they are suppose to do to bad O-lines. Kinlaw stood out early with a TFL on the first play from scrimmage and other disruptive plays. Wise was impressive as his sheer size and arm length seems to impact the run and pass games. Wagner didn't look like he lost a step. And the secondary overall was good. Lattimore was moving much better than last year and his hamstrings survived the week. Amos looked as advertised just needs more reps.
Offense- When Ertz dropped the pass that Jayden threw slightly behind him on 3rd down. I was like WTF is this. We don't do 3 and outs. JD5 was just a little off with his accuracy. Several throws behind WRs, overthrew Terry on a bomb (I smiled a lil b/c I was playing against one of my best friends who started both of them), and again just a little off. But still put up 300 yds of offense and made plays all game. Deebo looked good as both a traditional WR and obviously the 19 yard TD run. The O-line held up well overall against what is a very talented front. And the running game was probably the most impressive. Over 200 yards on the ground, Bill having a longer run in his first game then BRob had in his career, Cant wait to see what this offense looks like with more rhythm.
Special Teams- I like McCaffery as a KR and really like Lane as a PR and WR. Tress Way is Tress Way. The kick coverage looked pretty good and that hit by Bellore was sick and showed why he was resigned. Still don't feel good about Matt Gay so will be interesting to see when he gets some tries. But overall, felt like a really good 3 phase win.
TNF at Green Bay is going to be a huge early season litmus test. Line opened at GB -3.5, which feels about right. Think about what a difference it feels like to watch this team in prime time vs the last 30 years!!
Anybody. Anywhere. Anytime. LFG!!!

I remember having really high expectations for 2006. 2004 was the return of Gibbs and 2005 was a playoff year. In the offseason, Al Saunders was brought in to modernize the offense and, for whatever reason, it just didn't work.
