Washington Commanders DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jeff Driskel completed 13 of his 26 passes for 166 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 31-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18. Driskel also added seven rushes for 33 yards in his first career start for the Browns. Both of Driskel's touchdown passes went to David Bell in the loss to the Bengals. Driskel will return to a reserve role when the Browns face off against the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round of the playoffs next week.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jeff Driskel was just signed to the active roster on Dec. 29 but will be starting against the Cincinnati Bengals in the Week 18 regular-season finale. Driskel will get the call with Cleveland already locked into the No. 5 seed in the AFC and opting to rest several starters including Joe Flacco. Driskel hasn't played in a game since Week 18 of the 2022 season but he will be out there against a Cincinnati defense that is allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. Driskel is in play as a low-end QB2 with some appeal as a cheap option as a dart throw in DFS tournaments this weekend.

After looking solid in his return from injury, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. will aim for a strong performance to close out his second NFL season. This week, the Commanders are taking on the Dallas Cowboys. While that isn't a great matchup for Washington, Dallas hasn't been the best at stopping the run, especially in recent weeks. Considering Robinson looked pretty good against a strong San Francisco 49ers run defense last week, there is a chance that he has a decent game against the Cowboys. The second-year pro is a low-end RB2 with upside in Week 18.

Coming off a solid game in Week 17, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is looking to carry over his success into the final week of the regular season. This week, the Commanders are taking on the Dallas Cowboys. In their previous matchup, Dallas put a beat down on Washington during a blowout where McLaurin had a middling performance overall. However, the fifth-year receiver saw 11 targets during that matchup, so he was involved at least. With the rough matchup and the Commanders having no reason to win, McLaurin isn't a very inspiring option, but he's still a backend WR2 in Week 18.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler will look to stop his slide and end the season on a high note in a Week 18 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Ekeler has had a very bad season, scoring just one touchdown in his past seven games and "earning" Pro Football Focus' worst grade among all NFL running backs since Week 6. In what is likely Ekeler's last game as a Charger and almost certainly his last game as a three-down back, he's an RB3.
