Commanders vs Falcons projected starting lineup and depth chart for Week 4 | 2025 NFL season

Atlanta Falcons second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. hopes to bounce back after a lackluster performance last week. The Falcons will face the Washington Commanders in Week 4.

Penix only completed 18 of the 36 passes he attempted for 172 yards in the 30-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 3. One of the two interceptions he threw in that game was returned for a touchdown. He was subsequently benched late in the game for veteran QB Kirk Cousins.

Washington cruised past the Las Vegas Raiders 41–24 in Week 3 without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels.

Let's take a look at both teams' projected starting lineups ahead of the all-NFC matchup.
