2026 Fantasy Outlook
The Commanders selected Kaliakmanis in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 223rd overall. The 6-foot-2, 216-pound QB recorded a 38:14 TD:INT over the last two years at Rutgers after transferring there from Minnesota. Kaliakmanis is a non-factor as a runner, as he rushed for minus-26 yards in 2025 and logged a 4.92-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. He’s expected to compete with Sam Hartman for the third spot on Washington’s QB depth chart behind Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Kaliakmanis was a full-time starter at Minnesota in 2023 before transferring to Rutgers for his final two seasons. As a fifth-year senior, Kaliakmanis completed 52 percent of his passes for 3,124 yards, 20 touchdowns and seven interceptions while connecting on 28 passes for 20-plus yards. He didn't add much with his legs and likely won't in the NFL after running a 4.92 40-yard dash at his pro day. Still, Kaliakmanis has a good enough arm to give him a strong chance to earn the No. 3 quarterback job behind Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota.
