The 2023 Fantasy Football Impact:
The Commanders enter 2023 with a young nucleus on offense but still a lot of question marks at the most important position. Second-year man Sam Howell could be the clubhouse leader but will have to hold off veteran Jacoby Brissett for the starting quarterback job. Whoever lands the job will hopefully get some help up front from two of the offensive lineman that Washington selected in the third and fourth rounds.
I wouldn't expect much from sixth-rounder Chris Rodriguez, as I never give much credence to players selected that late. It's an uphill battle for the rookie out of Kentucky, but if he shows well in training camp he could slot in behind Brian Robinson and the always-uninspiring Antonio Gibson for touches.
