Zach Ertz caught 2-of-4 targets for 23 yards in the Commanders' Wild Card win over the Bucs.
It was a quiet day for Ertz, who struggled to get separation from Bucs' linebackers Lavonte David and Deion Jones. Ertz was targeted in the end zone once in the fourth quarter, but David read the route and broke up the pass in the end zone. The Commanders will need more from the 34-year-old tight end next week against the Lions.

Olamide Zaccheaus caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in the Commanders' Wild Card win over the Bucs.
It was a quiet day for Zaccheaus, who took a backseat to a breakout game from Dyami Brown. Zaccheaus is technically the number-two wide receiver for Washington, but he's not a consistent option and, as we saw tonight, it could be Dyami Brown or Jamison Crowder who steps up to fill that role. Washington might need all of them next week, but it's hard to trust Zaccheaus if you're doing any postseason fantasy leagues.

Terry McLaurin caught 7-of-10 passes for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' Wild Card win over the Bucs.
McLaurin hauled in a beautiful over-the-shoulder catch for 35 yards on Washington's first drive and seemed in for a huge game, but he and Bucs' cornerback Jamel Dean were locked in a pretty good battle for much of the day. When Dean hurt his knee in the third quarter, McLaurin capitalized and burned Dean's backup for a crucial fourth-quarter touchdown. The Commanders will need plenty of big plays from McLaurin next week if they hope to go into Detroit and upset the Lions.

Dyami Brown caught all five of his targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' Wild Card win over the Bucs.
It was a career day for Brown, who had just 308 receiving yards and one touchdown in 16 games this season. The 25-year-old got the scoring going for Washington with a 10-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter where he was left wide open in the back of the end zone. He made a few tougher catches in traffic over the middle of the field later in the game and was crucial in the win tonight with Washington getting so little from their running game. That being said, it's hard to bank on Brown repeating this next week against the Lions.

Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 10 times for 16 yards in the Commanders' Wild Card win over the Bucs, adding four catches for 22 receiving yards.
It was not a good night for Robinson Jr. He was routinely hit in the backfield, but he also didn't show any ability to make defenders miss or fight through contact. It's been a few weeks since he's made a meaningful impact in the game for Washington, but the team will need far more production out of him if they hope to keep up with the Lions' offense next week.
