Browns player to watch

LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will likely be tasked with shadowing dynamic Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels, a dual-threat QB capable of beating any defense with his arms or legs. Owusu-Koramoah is great at playing in space and has to react when Daniels, who has already rushed for 218 yards and four touchdowns, comes out of the pocket. He leads the Browns with 34 tackles.

Commanders player to keep an eye on

RB Austin Ekeler is on track to return from a concussion, and with Brian Robinson Jr. dealing with a knee injury, the former Chargers returnee could get the lion’s share of the carries. Before suffering a concussion in Week 3 at Cincinnati, Ekeler was primarily a pass-catcher with nine receptions for 121 yards. It’s important for Daniels and the offense to keep the game running consistently to keep Cleveland off balance.

Key match

Commanders pass rush against the Browns offensive line and Deshaun Watson. As good as Daniels and Washington’s offense was, the defense struggled until last week in Arizona. One of the big problems has been a lack of pressure, which has led to a compound secondary struggle penetrating more deeply into politics. Watson has been sacked a total of 19 times this season, the most in the entire league, and he needs to get rid of the ball quicker. He may have more time to throw on Sunday than in previous games.

Major injuries

Cleveland’s offensive line remains broken. LT Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) and RT Jack Conklin (knee) missed practice this week. Wills has played in one game and Conklin is yet to make his debut in 2024 after undergoing reconstructive surgery. … DE Myles Garrett (Achilles) took a few days off this week but is expected to play. The NFL’s reigning AP Defensive Player of the Year had two sacks last week while playing with multiple injuries. … DE Alex Wright (triceps) underwent season-ending surgery this week. He made perhaps the biggest play of the season to that point, sacking Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence for a late safety, sealing Cleveland’s only win. … C Ethan Pocic (ankle), LB Jordan Hicks (ribs, elbows, triceps) are also struggling. … Commander LG Nick Allegretti injured his ankle in the Cardinals game. … DE Clelin Ferrell is still dealing with a nagging knee injury.

The Browns have won the last two meetings after losing three in a row. … Washington is just 5-17-1 at home against Cleveland. … The Browns have lost two in a row. This is their second of three consecutive away games. … Washington is 3-1 for the first time since 2011. The last 4-1 start was in 2008.

Statistics and stuff

The Browns haven’t scored 20 points in any of their first four games. … Cleveland’s offense is last in the league with 3.9 yards per play and a third-down conversion rate of 20.8%. … The Browns have scored on their first possession in all four games. … Watson has progressed each week and completed 75% (24 of 32) of his passes last week. But he was also sacked on Cleveland’s final play at the Vegas 9-yard line. … RB Jerome Ford had a career-best performance with seven receptions last week as Watson used him on various throwouts and underthrows. … The Browns could get a boost if TE David Njoku returns. He has missed the last three games with a severe ankle sprain. Njoku led the team in receptions and TDs in 2023. … Browns P Corey Bojorquez leads the league with 1,197 yards. Last week he had a season-high 84 yards. … K Dustin Hopkins, who played his first six seasons with Washington, has been big money since joining the Browns last year, making 38 of 42 field goal attempts and 11 of 12 beyond 50 yards. However, Hopkins missed an extra point last week that proved costly. … Daniels has completed 82.1% of passes, the most of any player through the first four games of a season. … Daniels leads all QBs with four rushing TDs and his 218 yards on the ground trails only Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson, who has 308. … Ekeler is 62 yards rushing away from 5,000 yards for his career. … RB Jeremy McNichols, who ran for two touchdowns, had a career-high 68 yards rushing as a replacement for Ekeler against Arizona. … WR Terry McLaurin has made 11 catches for 152 yards in the last two games after recording just 39 yards receiving in the first few weeks of the season. … Washington’s defense forced three Cardinals fumbles and recovered one. … LB Bobby Wagner led the team with 11 tackles.

Fantasy tip

Given the Commanders’ coverage issues, Njoku could be in for a big afternoon upon his return from injury. This defense doesn’t have enough safeties or linebackers quick enough to handle athletic, talented tight ends like Njoku, who could give Watson a safety valve over the middle when other receivers aren’t open.
