We have claimed WR K.J. Osborn off waivers from New England pic.twitter.com/LoVr1mGGsx
— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) December 11, 2024
KJ Osborn: Very productive 3 years in Minnesota as the WR3. 158 rec, 1,845 yds, 15 TD’s while sitting behind Jefferson, Theilen, and Addison. Didn’t work out on a bad Pats team for whatever reason. Only 27 y/o. Not gonna find better than that floating around in December.

I’ve always liked KJ Osborn. I am curious as to why he only got a 1 year, $4M deal in FA at 27 years old after a solid career as a WR2/3 in Minnesota. And then he barely played in NE but by all reports he’s was a great teammate there. What am i missing? pic.twitter.com/IT3RNEynAB

#Patriots HC Jerod Mayo on KJ Osborn being waived:
“It was a mutual thing. Even when he was inactive, he was just a great professional, a great person, and a great leader. It just didn’t work out, and we decided to part ways.”

Commanders LB Bobby Wagner said it doesn’t matter who the Saints start at quarterback on Sunday.
He knows Alvin Kamara will be the one to stop.
Bobby said, “they’re going to give 41 the ball.” pic.twitter.com/Cq4N28eGx3

Commanders safety Quan Martin feels rejuvenated for this final stretch of the regular season.
On the potential return of Marshon Lattimore, Quan said, “got full confidence in him that he’ll go out and do his job. Great player for us, just help the defense out a whole lot.” pic.twitter.com/PExSyotbvw

Fresh off the bye week, the Commanders are ready for this stretch run.

Several times this season Commanders rookie TE Ben Sinnott has made the key block to spring a running back for a touchdown.
I asked him about that blocking first mentality.
Ben told me, “it almost feels as good as a touchdown yourself…take a ton of pride in that.” pic.twitter.com/KPoRYvcg8e

Running back leaders in yards BEFORE contact per carry (generally an O-Line is Good metric), per Pro Football Reference:
Saquon Barkley: 4.4
Jahmyr Gibbs: 3.6
Derrick Henry: 3.1
Rico Dowdle: 2.9
Jordan Mason: 2.9— Mike Tanier (@miketanier.bsky.social) 2024-12-10T19:46:15.662Z
Lowest Yards BEFORE Contact per carry among RBs, usually a Line Is Bad stat:
Alexander Mattison: 1.6
Kenneth Walker: 1.7
Tank Bigsby: 1.7
Rhamondre Stevenson, Nick Chubb, Javonte Williams, Devin Singletary and Rachaad White: 1.6— Mike Tanier (@miketanier.bsky.social) 2024-12-10T23:33:21.513Z
An interesting stat for this year.
The Ravens start their average offensive drive at the 27.7-yard line, 30th in the NFL.
The Bills start their average offensive drive at the 32.9-yard line, best in the NFL.
That’s why the Ravens have a better offensive DVOA but the Bills score more pts/drive.

Carson Beck should consider going back to school because this statistical profile is a horror show.
For context, numbers in green would have ranked somewhere in the top 25 of FBS quarterbacks in 2023, back when the QB class was very strong (Caleb, Maye, Daniels, Nix, etc).… pic.twitter.com/5WCQDjZex7

Shedeur has the weirdest profile of them all because it’s full of a bunch of great numbers, while also having a time to throw of nearly three and a half seconds, a ton of sacks taken, and playing in an offense that is literally almost 40% screens and RPOS.
I don’t know what to… pic.twitter.com/KSMwCp3mxr
