9 bold predictions for the Washington Commanders 2023 season
By Dean Jones
Commanders WR Jahan Dotson gains 10 TDs
While the Washington Commanders have some slight concerns about the offensive line, the same cannot be said about their wide receiver options. This group is absolutely stacked with significant threats, with big things expected of Jahan Dotson entering Year 2 of his professional career.
Dotson showed enough as a rookie to suggest he was more than worthy of being a first-round selection. His partnership with Terry McLaurin has the scope to be prolific and if all goes well, a genuine breakout campaign is well within reach.
Finding the red zone more frequently is something that could help take Dotson's game to new heights. Seven scores last time out was a decent return, but attaining double-digits this season would be nothing short of sensational.
Commanders DT Jonathan Allen leads the league in TFLs
If the Washington Commanders' defense wants to become the league's best, they'll be heavily reliant on their defensive front. This unit is loaded with high-end draft picks and their interior tandem has the scope to be a complete wrecking force barring any setbacks on the health front.
Jonathan Allen is the undisputed alpha on the field and within the locker room. The former Alabama star is one of the most consistent players around, bringing exceptional athletic traits and vocal leadership on almost every down to rapidly emerge into an indispensable member of the team's plans.
Allen notched a career-high 16 tackles for loss last season. Any further increase in these outstanding numbers could see him lead the NFL in this particular category when it's all said and done.
