We know Stefon Diggs won\u2019t play on Sunday<\/a>. Terry McLaurin\u2019s status remains up in the air. That\u2019s a troubling development creating the need for others to step up. This won\u2019t be all on third-round rookie Antonio Williams, but we\u2019ve seen the flashes of explosiveness and quality routes that suggest Daniels could use him as an asset in the passing game.<\/p>\n Expect some mistakes as he continues to develop, but Williams should have an opportunity to see more targets in this one as Daniels gets revved back up.<\/p>\n Washington signed the veteran running back last week<\/a> and played him against the Colts just a few days later. The production was solid, to the tune of 29 yards on just four carries. Head coach Dan Quinn said Ekeler will be more \u201cembedded\u201d in the game plan this week, so it\u2019s far to expect him to receive more touches in his second game back after suffering a torn Achilles\u2019 tendon early in Washington\u2019s 2025 campaign. The run game will be important on a game with inclement weather, and Ekeler will be key in the effort to get the ground game going strong.<\/p>\n Expect to see a ton of Quan Martin (and Jeremy Reaves) considering three active safeties in Nick Cross, Tyler Owens and Percy Butler have all been ruled out<\/a>. The Commanders still must stay away from explosive plays, and Martin will often be playing deep in this one. And, as we all know, Giants quarterback Jameis Winston is not afraid to chuck it. He\u2019ll also put the ball in danger, so Martin and the secondary needs to take some errant passes away when they\u2019re available. We all know Martin has had his struggles \u2013 he has a 103.6 passer rating when targeted<\/a> \u2013 but Washington needs a consistently solid game from Martin in coverage.<\/p>\n LANDOVER, MARYLAND – SEPTEMBER 27: Sonny Styles #52 of the Washington Commanders looks on during the first half against the Seattle Seahawks at Northwest Stadium on September 27, 2026 in Landover, Maryland. (Photo by Scott Taetsch\/Getty Images) Getty Images<\/p>\n Sonny Styles has played quality football the past two games<\/a>, with a combined 13 tackles, an interception, two passes defensed, a forced fumble, three quarterback hurries and a knockdown in that span.<\/p>\n The No. 7 overall pick has proven he can do it all, as a pass rusher, cover man and run defender. They\u2019ll need all of that quality on Sunday, slowing Giants running back Cam Skatebo and tight end Isaih Likely<\/a>. He\u2019s quickly becoming the defensive centerpiece even at this early stage. Considering how he has played, it\u2019s fair to expect another big game on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
