ESPN Says Commanders ANTONIO WILLIAMS Will Win ROTY? Did Jayden Daniels Get a New FAVORITE Weapon?

ESPN's Ben Solak just dropped a bold prediction that Antonio Williams wins the 2026 NFL Rookie of the Year award — and Grant breaks down exactly how that happens, why the rookie class sets up perfectly for it, and why Williams is going to convince you very quickly that he's the real deal. 📲DONWLOAD PRIZEPICKS Get $50 in lineups after your first $5 lineup using code HMA: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/FU... 🔑JOIN THE DISCORD Link:   / discord   🏆 WHY RECEIVERS ALMOST NEVER WIN ROTY Puka Nacua had 105 receptions and 1,486 yards in his rookie year and still lost to CJ Stroud. The latest-drafted wide receiver to win the award was Anquan Boldin in 2003 — and he went 54th overall. Williams was 71st. Grant breaks down why this award is an uphill battle for any receiver before explaining why 2026 might be different. 📊 WHY THE ROOKIE CLASS OPENS THE DOOR Only two quarterbacks taken in the first two rounds. Historically weak running back depth. No tight end has ever won the award. Grant reads Ben Solak's full breakdown of why the field is more open than any year in recent memory — and why Williams' path to a high target share is shockingly clear for a third-round pick. ⚡ WHY ANTONIO WILLIAMS IS THE REAL DEAL He was viewed as a potential first-round pick before the draft. He wins IMMEDIATELY off the line of scrimmage. He offers slot and Z versatility with jet sweep and motion experience. He's an elite blocker for his size — opening cutback lanes the way big receivers can't. And his style of play — fearless over the middle, smart routes, great adjustments to bad balls — is a perfect fit for David Blough's Detroit-inspired offense. Grant breaks down why Williams is essentially Amon-Ra St. Brown in a Commanders uniform. 🏈 THE JAYDEN DANIELS CONNECTION Jayden likes guys who can beat man coverage and show themselves quickly — that's why he loved Zach Ertz. Williams does exactly that and will work similar areas of the field. Grant breaks down how this chemistry builds throughout the season and asks a simple question: other than Terry McLaurin, who on this roster is better than Antonio Williams right now? BOTTOM LINE: The rookie class is weak, the target share is there, the scheme fits like a glove, and the quarterback is elite. Grant is very high on Williams in 2026 — and thinks Solak's bold prediction might not be so bold after all. Who finishes the season with more yards — Chig Okonkwo or Antonio Williams?
