Buy or Sell Washington Commanders to win the NFC East?

Buy or Sell?

The Commanders have been a fun story to follow so far this season. Washington looks fun and the culture seems to be completely changed. However, with Super Bowl hopefuls like the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles only one game back behind them, it’s hard to trust the Commanders to stay in the driver's seat of the division for 14 more weeks.

Verdict: Sell

Where Things Stands

The Commanders lost their regular season opener on the road to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since then, Dan Quinn’s squad has found their identity and took off on a three-game winning streak. Washington’s offense looks nearly unstoppable and their defense has gotten the job done weekly. The Commanders sit alone atop the NFC East with a record of 3-1 entering Week 5.

Reason to Buy

Jayden Daniels looks like the real deal and with offensive guru Kliff Kingsbury calling the play, the team’s offense has looked dangerous. Washington has scored on 20 of 22 of the team’s offensive possessions. With Quinn overseeing the defense and the offense looking to be in mid-season form, it seems like the Commanders are poised for a big season. 

Reason to Sell

Although Daniels looks like a future star, it’s important to note that the 23-year-old is still a rookie. There are bound to be games that the quarterback and the offense run into tougher coverages and schemes, especially the more film defensive coordinators get on the playmaker. In addition, the team’s offensive pass-catchers behind Terry McLaurin are underwhelming. In addition, it's hard to trust the Commanders defense against the high powered offenses on the team's schedule in coming weeks. Despite the hot start, Washington could fall back down to earth eventually.
