Gridiron Player Club NFL 1-2 Units (8/10/24)

NFL

1 Pick...

12:00PM EST: Commanders -3 (2 Units). Won't see many starters for New York in this game. Rodgers is out and so is most of their offensive line that finally got it’s starting 5 together for the first time last week. Which means backup QB Tyrod Taylor won't play too long in this game if at all. With his injury history and need for him, it's just not smart. That leaves them with two undrafted rookies and one of them was signed 2 weeks ago. New York has a lot of new pieces on the offensive side of the ball after a total overhaul of their Offensive Line. Most Vets won't play and there just haven’t been enough reps to put it all together for the 2's and 3's. New York's offense should look just like they did for most of the regular season in 2023.

Washington will send out their 1st round pick Jayden Daniels and some starters to help out. Even if the Jets starters don’t play their 2nd string is enough to give him struggles. The Jets will move onto their 3rd and 4th string defensive players before the 1st half ends though. After Daniels is when Washington has its advantage with Veteran's Marcus Mariota and Jeff Driskel. They have an UDFA of their own in Sam Hartman, but he had a better college career than New York's Rookies and played at a higher level. 1:00PM EST: Bills First Q -.5 (1 Unit). Bills Starters set to play the 1st Quarter. 7:00PM EST: KC/JAX Over 40.5 (2 Units).

Both teams will send out their starters, including Patrick Mahomes and Trevor Lawrence. Won't see them too long before all regular season regulars sit out. Behind Lawrence Jacksonville has QB's Mac Jones and CJ Beathard. Two veteran pieces competing for the backup spot against a Chiefs secondary that's lost two key pieces from 2023 and struggling in camp. Defensively the Jaguars hired a new DC and with it comes natural growing pains, especially this early into the defensive install. Behind Mahomes is QB Carson Wentz and Chris Oladokun. Wentz has done it at the highest level and Oladokun's entering year 3 with KC and knows Reid's offense. There will be QB's capable of starting regular season games playing meaningful snaps against backup defenses for the majority of this game.
