David Harrison· Sep 8, 2026
Harrison gave five bold predictions for the Commanders' 2026 season: Jayden Daniels throwing 30 touchdown passes, 1,000-yard seasons for both Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs (with Diggs leading the team in catches), Sonny Styles winning Defensive Rookie of the Year, and a 10-7 record with a playoff berth. He also predicted Washington would open the season by beating the Eagles in Philadelphia and that Daniels would be Comeback Player of the Year.
“Washington commanders are gonna finish ten and seven, and they're gonna make the playoffs.”

- Ross JacksonPlayer Season Numbers · Tyler ShoughMiss · 4Jackson projects a big sophomore jump for Saints QB Tyler Shuck, laying out a Drake May-style stat line (17 starts, 72% completions, ~4,601 passing yards, 24 TDs, 9 INTs) or a Bo Nix-style consistency line (over 4,000 yards, over 20 TDs, ~10 INTs), and says either path means a playoff season for New Orleans in 2026.
- Chris BroussardPlayer Season Numbers · Lamar JacksonMiss · 0Broussard expects Lamar Jackson to play well but not vintage — two touchdown passes and no picks — while Derrick Henry carries the load with over 100 rushing yards.

He also picked the AFC West order and said Deion Sanders is more likely than Bill Belichick to have a winning record.
