Brian Robinson Jr was Washington’s (distant) second-leading rusher, with 13 carries for 60 yds (4.6 Y/A) and 4 first downs. He ranked 4th on the team in rushing success rate at just 38.5%. Robinson averaged 3.3 Yards Before Contact/Attempt and gained an average of 1.3 Yards After Contact/Attempt. Robinson also caught 2/2 passes for 9 yds.
Chris Rodriguez Jr was used sparingly, but produced when he got touches. He rushed 5 times for 16 yds, 2 first downs and 1 TD. While his 3.2 Y/A rushing average won’t win any awards, his 80.0% rushing success rate was second only to Daniels among Commanders with more than one carry. Rodriguez also had to do most of the work himself. He averaged just 1.0 YBC/Att and picked up an average of 2.2 YAC/Att. Rodriguez also caught his only passing target for 12 yds, with 11 yds after the catch.
Jeremy McNichols did not see much action, with just 1 rushing attempt for 5 yds. He didn’t fare much better as a receiver, catching 2/3 targets for 5 yds.
Olamide Zaccheaus picked up where he left off against the Eagles, catching 8/9 passes (88.9%) at an ADOT of 6.2 yds and breaking 1 tackle for 85 yds, 5 first downs and 1 TD. The one pass he didn’t catch was a drop. Zaccheaus averaged 6.1 YAC/reception and was the Commanders’ most productive receiver at 2.18 Y/RR. Zaccheaus also led the team in rushing success rate this week, with 1 rushing attempt for an 8-yard first down.
Jamison Crowder was the second leading receiver among the WRs, catching 3/5 targets for 25 yds and 1 first down (1.04 Y/RR).
Terry McLaurin was effectively taken out of the game by the Falcons’ secondary, with just 1 catch out of 7 targets, including 1 dropped pass. According to PFF, McLaurin made his lone reception when matched up against DE Matthew Judon. Against CB1 AJ Terrell, he was 0/4 with one drop. PFF counted two fewer targets to McLaurin than everyone else.
In his Commanders’ debut, KJ Osborn did not draw a target, but he did manage to draw a 10 yard holding penalty.
