The Washington Commanders didn't make a ton of offensive changes this offseason. They brought in tight end Chig Okonkwo and drafted wide receiver Antonio Williams, but other than that, much of the Commanders' offense remains unchanged. They do have a new offensive coordinator, David Blough, after moving on from Kliff Kingsbury.
This has led many to question whether Adam Peters did enough to support Jayden Daniels. The Commanders' defense has certainly been revamped, but the offense will still rely heavily on Daniels to produce. Which is why Bill Barnwell's ranking of the NFL's skill-position groups has the Commanders ranked at 27. They were No. 13 heading into the 2025 season, and we all know how that went.
After discussing how 2025 was disappointing for Terry McLaurin because of his injury, Barnwell writes:
He goes on to talk about the possibility of Brandon Aiyuk joining the receiving ranks and that he would be an upgrade over other players like Treylon Burks and Van Jefferson. But even then, will we ever see Aiyuk return to peak performance?. He hasn't played in almost two years. He hasn't passed a physical. There are many questions about what kind of player he will be when he returns to the field. And let's not forget the other stuff.
The Commanders' ranking isn't surprising given the lack of changes made by Peters and the Commanders. They'll just have to look at this and put a chip on their shoulders to prove to the league that they're better than advertised. The good news is that Washington's wide receivers, from top to bottom, are a much better unit than they were last season.
