Time/TV: 1 p.m., FOX
Latest Line: Giants by 2 1/2.
Series record: New York leads 108-74-5.
Last meeting: Commanders beat Giants 21-6 on Sept. 7, 2025, at Washington.
Last week: Commanders lost to Vikings 31-0; Giants had bye, lost to Patriots 33-15 on Dec. 1.
Commanders player to watch: RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. The Giants allow 154.2 rushing yards a game and the Commanders are averaging 136.5, so perhaps this will be the week Washington offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury lets Rodriguez get a few more carries. He had success last week against Minnesota when given the ball — gaining 5.2 yards per rush — but only ran the ball 10 times.
Giants player to watch: Rookie QB Jaxson Dart. His development is the most — and maybe only — important part left in this lost season. Dart says he just wants to win as the Giants play out the string, and he might be able to take advantage of an opponent that struggles against the run and the pass. Dart has thrown for 11 touchdowns and run for seven more in his first eight NFL starts.
Key matchup: Commanders’ offensive line vs. Giants’ pass rush. Only Cleveland’s Myles Garrett, approaching the single-season record, has more sacks than New York’s Brian Burns, with a career-high 13. Even without Kayvon Thibodeaux, there should be plenty of pressure on Mariota from Burns, rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence.
Notes: The Commanders won the past three meetings after losing the previous three. … Washington is trying to sweep the two-game series against the Giants in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1982-83. … Each team is expected to have a different starting QB than in Week 1: Marcus Mariota instead of Daniels for the Commanders, and Dart instead of Russell Wilson for the Giants.
Fantasy tip: Giants RB Tyrone Tracy is good to go after the bye week, interim coach Mike Kafka said. With snow potentially in the forecast, Tracy might get a healthy amount of carries and the chance to develop a rhythm in the running game.
