Commanders stock report: Whose is up, down after Week 1 loss to Eagles?

Here's our Week 1 stock report after the Commanders' Week 1 loss to the Eagles.

The Washington Commanders suffered a 24-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in their Week 1 season opener. Quarterback Jayden Daniels had a strong performance in the fourth quarter, completing 9 of 11 passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Defensive coordinator Daronte Jones was praised for his solid, pressure-heavy defense that held Saquon Barkley to only 15 carries.

Offensive coordinator David Blough, however, struggled with a shaky start and criticism over his two-point conversion call late in the game. Rookie receiver Antonio Williams made a strong debut with four receptions for 64 yards and an NFL touchdown. Running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt had a disappointing game, fumbling the ball deep in Eagles' territory.

Linebacker Sonny Styles made an impressive impact with four tackles, a sack, and a tackle for loss. Center Nick Allegretti faced difficulties with questionable snaps and poor blocking. Free-agent cornerback Amik Robertson had a stellar debut with one reception for three yards and stifling run defense. Cornerback Mike Sainistil, however, struggled with critical drops and failed to contain Philadelphia's tight end Dontayvion Wicks.
