5 bold Washington Commanders predictions at the Cardinals in Week 4
By Dean Jones
The positivity emanating across the Washington Commanders is something fans haven't experienced for years. There was quiet hope something special might be building under the new regime following a profitable summer. That notion was confirmed in the best possible way following a memorable road triumph at the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football.
This brought hype in the national media as expected. Jayden Daniels was lauded as the next great franchise quarterback around the league. Nobody mentioned the porous defense too much, but this was a time for optimism in the victory's immediate aftermath.
It's a week-to-week process for the Commanders. Dan Quinn is experienced enough to know things can change quickly. Keeping up this good feeling is an ongoing challenge, starting this weekend with a tricky-looking trip to the Arizona Cardinals.
With this in mind, here are five bold predictions for the Commanders in Week 4 at State Farm Stadium.
Bold Washington Commanders predictions at the Cardinals in Week 4
Noah Brown gains 100 receiving yards
Things clicked in the passing game in Week 3 at the Cincinnati Bengals. The Washington Commanders decided this was going to turn into a shootout almost immediately and opened things up for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. He responded with a performance worthy of winning the NFC and Rookie Offensive Player of the Week honors.
The Commanders are rumored to be examining potential candidates to bolster their wide receiver room for Daniels. This is a constant assessment across the board. It's up to those around to show their worth as valuable contributors with just a few short weeks remaining until the 2024 trade deadline.
Noah Brown is easing his way into a prominent role following his late arrival after final cuts. The physically imposing pass-catcher brought in all three of his targets for 29 receiving yards on primetime, which came on the back of an encouraging outing against the New York Giants in Week 2.
Brown is a streaky wideout who can take over a game when in the mood. With his adjustment period over, don't be surprised if he gets close to or surpasses the 100-yard receiving mark at the Arizona Cardinals.
