Redskins’ Quinton Dunbar a top CB

The Jets should be wary about throwing toward Redskins cornerback Quinton Dunbar. Though Washington’s secondary is among the softest in the league, Dunbar has played like a top-tier cornerback. He’s the second-ranked cornerback overall, according to Pro Football Focus (88.0), first in coverage (90.0), and fourth in passer rating allowed (52.6).

It should be easy to find passing yards against the Redskins, but only if they target Josh Norman. Dunbar and safety Landon Collins are studs, so Sam Darnold will need to be strategic with where he throws the ball.
