The Philadelphia Eagles are set to square off with the Washington Commanders on Saturday, Dec. 20, at Northwest Stadium as part of the NFL’s Week 16 slate.
Philadelphia reached its bye week sitting at 6-2, with their only stumbles coming against the Broncos and Giants. Outside of those setbacks, the Eagles rattled off victories over the Cowboys, Chiefs, Chargers, Buccaneers, Vikings, and Giants. They followed the break with back-to-back wins against Green Bay and Detroit, but momentum stalled with losses to the Cowboys, Bears, and Chargers. Through 13 games, that rollercoaster left the Eagles at 8-5 overall.
Washington’s season has taken a tougher path. The Commanders opened 3-2, knocking off the Giants, Raiders, and Chargers while falling to the Packers and Falcons. From there, things unraveled, as a long skid carried them into their bye after losses to the Bears, Cowboys, Chiefs, Seahawks, Lions, and Dolphins. Defeats against Denver and Minnesota after the break extended the slide, leaving Washington at 3-10 through 13 contests.

Team news & squadsWashington Commanders vs Philadelphia Eagles lineupsWashington Commanders team news
Washington’s season has unraveled in frustrating fashion, largely due to the absence of quarterback Jayden Daniels. The rookie signal-caller has battled multiple injuries, with his latest elbow issue officially ending his season. That leaves veteran Marcus Mariota to take the reins this weekend. Mariota delivered a serviceable outing in last week’s 29–21 win over the Giants, completing 10 of 19 passes for 211 yards. Jacory Croskey-Merritt carried the load on the ground, churning out 96 yards on 18 attempts.
Daniels is officially ruled out, while Washington is also monitoring several key contributors. Left tackle Laremy Tunsil (oblique), running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin), defensive tackle Eddie Goldman (concussion), defensive end Drake Jackson (knee), cornerback Jonathan Jones (undisclosed), and tight end Colson Yankoff (ankle) are all questionable. Wide receiver Noah Brown (rib) has been placed on injured reserve and will not play.

Philadelphia Eagles team news
Philadelphia appeared to rediscover its edge last week, steamrolling a struggling Las Vegas side 31–0 in a one-sided affair. The Eagles’ defense was downright ruthless, suffocating the Raiders to a jaw-dropping 75 total yards on just 42 offensive snaps. It was one of those afternoons where nothing worked for Vegas, and it showed.
Offensively, Jalen Hurts was sharp, tossing three touchdown passes, two of them finding Dallas Goedert in the end zone. Still, it was the defensive dominance that stole the spotlight. Philadelphia racked up four sacks on Kenny Pickett, slammed the door on third downs by holding Las Vegas to a miserable 3-for-13, and flat-out erased them from the stat sheet. Seventy-five yards. That’s it. Brutal.
As for the injury report, right tackle Lane Johnson (foot) and defensive end Jalen Carter (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Saturday. Offensive tackle Cameron Williams (shoulder) could return as well, as he’s eligible to be activated from injured reserve.

Commanders vs Eagles Fantasy Football
With A.J. Brown reestablishing himself as a true alpha alongside DeVonta Smith, Jalen Hurts looks primed for another productive fantasy outing. Even while logging just 75 percent of the snaps in last week’s runaway win, Hurts still tossed three touchdown passes without an interception and added 39 rushing yards on seven carries. If he continues to lean into his mobility, he could quickly remind everyone why he belongs in the elite tier of fantasy quarterbacks.
Saquon Barkley is lining up as a rock-solid RB1 for Week 16, thanks to a noticeable rise in workload and efficiency paired with a dream matchup against Washington’s leaky run defense. Back-to-back games with 20-plus touches and RB1 finishes, along with his return to practice after briefly dealing with a stinger, suggest both his health and role are in a great place.
Brown also has history working in his favor. In two meetings with the Commanders last season, he piled up 23 targets, 13 catches, 162 yards and a touchdown. With so many mouths to feed in Philadelphia, it’s never easy to predict who cashes in each week, but Brown has a strong case to deliver again in Week 15. Meanwhile, DeVonta Smith carries an encouraging outlook heading into Week 16, buoyed by a friendly matchup and the expectation of more passing volume.
On the Washington side, Marcus Mariota isn’t exactly generating buzz, but he’s viewed as a serviceable stopgap for fantasy managers in a pinch—especially for those scrambling to replace Patrick Mahomes. Mariota has made seven starts this season and has cracked the top 10 at the position three times, making him a viable superflex option. The upcoming slate is mixed, with two tough games against the Eagles followed by a softer landing versus the Cowboys.
Jeremy McNichols stepped in as Washington’s backup running back after Chris Rodriguez was ruled out just before kickoff, but even if Rodriguez misses additional time, McNichols remains well off the fantasy radar.
As for Terry McLaurin, he delivered the highlight of the day with a 51-yard touchdown grab from Mariota. He continues to profile as a high-upside WR3 with low-end WR2 appeal for the rest of the season, capable of swinging a matchup when the big play shows up.
Commanders vs Eagles Game Predictions
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves and declare the Philadelphia Eagles offense fully fixed just because it dropped 31 points on Las Vegas. Still, with Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and A.J. Brown all capable of tilting the field, this unit is well-positioned to feast on a Washington defense that has been bleeding production. Over the past nine games, the Commanders have surrendered 30.4 points and nearly 400 total yards per contest, while allowing 6.5 yards per snap. Washington should find its way onto the scoreboard, but this shapes up as another comfortable Eagles victory, with Philadelphia pulling away by multiple touchdowns.
