The New York Giants head to Northwest Stadium on September 7 to square off against the Washington Commanders. Kickoff is slated for 1:00 pm EDT in Landover, Maryland.
In Washington, the Jayden Daniels era couldn’t have started any better. The young quarterback put together one of the most remarkable rookie campaigns in NFL history, steering the Commanders all the way to the NFC Championship. The big question now is whether Daniels and company can build on that success or if last season was lightning in a bottle.
Across the field, the Giants are banking on Russell Wilson to find some form of redemption after a turbulent stretch in his career. Still, New York won’t hesitate to turn to rookie Jaxson Dart if Wilson stumbles. For now, though, it’ll be Wilson under center to open the year.

Washington Commanders vs New York Giants roster & injury news
Washington Commanders team news
For Washington, the return of Terry McLaurin is a massive boost. With his contract situation settled, he’ll be on the field to give Daniels a proven No. 1 target. His presence not only stretches defenses but also eases the workload on the team’s secondary receivers, particularly in the red zone.
Jayden Daniels proved as a rookie that he’s the kind of quarterback who can hurt defenses in multiple ways. He piled up more than 3,500 yards through the air with 25 touchdown passes, while also flashing his explosiveness as a runner. Now in year two, he’ll look to dodge the infamous "sophomore slump." Given his skill set and poise, Daniels seems well-equipped to sidestep that pitfall.

New York Giants team news
On the other side, the Giants are banking on Russell Wilson to provide stability under center. Signed to a one-year deal, the veteran brings both experience and creativity to a position that’s been unsettled in New York for years.
The key question is whether the Giants’ offensive line and scheme can give Wilson enough time to work his magic. If they can, the upset potential grows; if not, it could be another long afternoon for Big Blue.

| Offense | Jaxson Dart, Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston (QB); Devin Singletary, Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB); Beaux Collins, Jalin Hyatt, Malik Nabers, Gunner Olszewski, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton (WR); Daniel Bellinger, Thomas Fidone II, Theo Johnson, Chris Manhertz (TE); Austin Schlottmann, John Michael Schmitz Jr. (C); Marcus Mbow, Jon Runyan, Aaron Stinnie, Greg Van Roten (G); Jermaine Eluemunor, James Hudson III, Evan Neal, Andrew Thomas (OT) |

Commanders vs Giants Fantasy Football
Fantasy managers should keep their eyes locked on Washington’s explosive offense, especially with the Commanders carrying a slight edge at home. Jayden Daniels (projected 20–22 fantasy points) headlines the must-starts, with his dual-threat skill set making him one of the premier quarterback plays this week. For those digging deeper, tight end Cole Turner is a sleeper pick who could cash in on red-zone looks.
Across the field, the Giants’ outlook is shakier. Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson offers some fantasy intrigue but remains a risky QB2 given the team’s retooled offensive line and an offense still finding its footing. Wideout Malik Nabers has flex/WR3 appeal, especially if he can exploit favorable coverage matchups. The Giants’ backfield, however, is clouded with uncertainty and best avoided until roles solidify. Both defenses could be streaming considerations in larger leagues, with the rivalry atmosphere potentially creating turnovers.
Quick fantasy takeaways:
- Start Daniels with confidence.
- Turner is a sneaky upside TE play.
- Wilson (projected 14.5 fpts for Week 1) is more of a gamble as a QB2.
- Nabers (projected 18.5 fpts for Week 1) can slot in as a WR3/flex.
- Fade Giants RBs until the picture clears.
Commanders vs Giants Game Predictions
The Giants’ relentless front causes headaches for Jayden Daniels, but Washington’s attack eventually finds its rhythm and jumps out to an early cushion.
Russell Wilson, Malik Nabers, and running back Tyrone Tracy keep the fight alive for New York with some gutsy plays, yet the rally runs out of steam before they can close the gap.
According to the projections, Washington heads into this matchup as a heavy favorite, with the model giving the Commanders an 82.7% chance of victory. That outlook factors in everything from recent form and player health to head-to-head matchups on both sides of the ball.
