Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins

Carson Wentz's Year Two leap starts Sunday. With question marks in the backfield, Wentz will be asked to take his new receiving toys (Alshon Jeffrey and Torrey Smith) and put up big passing numbers. The pass-catcher to watch this week is tight end Zach Ertz. The Redskins defense gave up the most receptions and yards to tight ends last season. Have the changes on D in Washington solved the issue? If so they didn't show it much in the preseason. We should expect some deep shots to the receivers mixed with a bevy of intermediate to tosses to Ertz on Sunday.

The Washington running game could be the motor this season. Rob Kelley looked spry this offseason and could help grind down opponents while Kirk Cousins and the passing game finds itself this year. The Eagles boast a dynamic front seven, but we've seen offenses run right at Jim Schwartz defenses before (think Ndamukong Suh with the Lions years). The Redskins should pound the ball early to loosen up the Eagles' pass rush for Cousins.

NFL Research stat of the week: Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith have more career production than all the Eagles' wide receivers on the 2016 roster combined (Jeffery/Smith: three 1,000-yard seasons; two 10-TD seasons; 20 100-yard receiving games). The 2016 Eagles corps had just eight 100-yard receiving games combined, zero 1,000-yard seasons and zero 10-TD seasons.

Aaron Donald to start for Rams vs. Redskins on Sunday

How long does it take a star defensive player to work his way back into the starting lineup after an offseason holdout? About a week, apparently. Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Aaron Donald would get the start on Sunday against the Redskins, six days after he reported to the club. Donald, 26, has made the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons and attempted to force Los Angeles' hand this offseason into getting him a lucrative contract extension. The writing was on the wall this week in Los Angeles. Even defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who spent the offseason sans Donald changing the team's 4-3 defense to a 3-4, said it wasn't going to be difficult integrating arguably the best interior pass rusher in football. Getting Donald one-on-one usually seals the deal. So it goes for McVay, who had to weather a high profile holdout during his first few months as the NFL's youngest head coach in history. Now, he's decided to simply le...
