Injury Reports and Key Players
Injuries could play a significant role in this matchup. The Commanders have several questionable players, including Chris Rodriguez Jr., Jonathan Jones, and others. On the Dolphins” side, running back De”Vone Achane is a standout player to watch. He recently had a breakout performance against the Bills, rushing for 174 yards and scoring two touchdowns.

The Commanders appear to have resigned to a lost season, facing a daunting travel schedule. Despite the potential for a close game, the Dolphins are expected to secure a victory, making them the deserving favorites.
