Daniels showed fourth-quarter upside but struggled with consistency in Week 1 debut.

Daniels returned to regular-season action in Week 1 after an injury-plagued 2025 season, finishing 18-of-34 for 164 yards and two touchdowns, adding 31 yards on five rushing attempts. The source notes the numbers weren't spectacular overall, but the fourth quarter offered a glimpse of what Washington hopes its offense can become; Daniels threw touchdown passes to Diggs and rookie Antonio Williams as the Commanders scored 13 fourth-quarter points and turned a 24-9 deficit into a two-point game. However, the problem was everything that came before it—Washington had just 50 yards on its seven non-scoring drives, struggling to sustain drives for long stretches.
