Commanders MAILBAG: Week 1 Opponents, NFL SCHEDULE Flaws, and Fantasy Football Projections

Who should the Washington Commanders open the 2025 season against? We break down the most likely Week 1 opponents and our top picks. Plus, is the NFL schedule truly fair? We dive into rest day advantages, travel mileage, and why some teams always seem to get the short end of the stick. In fantasy football talk, we spotlight Jayden Daniels' rising stock and late-round sleeper Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Should Washington take a chance on Drake Jackson after his failed physical? And what exactly are "12" and "22" personnel packages? We explain it all. Locked On Commanders covers your team every day with real insight, expert analysis, and everything Commanders fans need to know heading into the season. #Commanders #NFL #FantasyFootball #JaydenDaniels #DrakeJackson #NFLSchedule #WashingtonCommanders #LockedOnCommanders Text David on Subtext and Get the First Two Weeks Free! 📱 https://joinsubtext.com/lockedoncommanders Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCommanders?s ...
