Jayden Daniels Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will be out at least the next three weeks, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. That takes Daniels through Washington's Week 12 bye. Fowler adds, though, that "this could turn into a 5-6 week thing real fast, depending on when they revisit this." Fowler also suggests that the Commanders' record could impact when (or if) Daniels returns. They're currently sitting at 3-6 and are big underdogs to the Lions tomorrow. We wouldn't be shocked if the Commanders shut Daniels down if they lose a few more games. He's still worth stashing in most fantasy leagues for now, but managers can't be counting on him contributing the rest of the way.

After seeking multiple opinions on his injured left elbow, Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will not undergo surgery, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Daniels did not suffer any ligament damage to the elbow and "will not be immediately placed on Injured Reserve," Rapoport adds. That seemingly leaves the door open for Washington to change its mind, perhaps if they lose another couple of games with QB Marcus Mariota. Daniels is expected to be re-evaluated during the Commanders' Week 12 bye, so we certainly won't see him before Week 13. We'll continue to keep you updated on his status, but Daniels is worth keeping stashed if you have the bench space.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow in Sunday night's loss to the Seahawks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Daniels will get an MRI today to determine the extent of the damage and his expected return timeline.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered a gruesome left arm injury late in the fourth quarter of a 38-7 game vs. the Seahawks on Sunday night. He was placed in an air cast and helped off the field. This has the look of a significant, potentially season-ending injury. If there's good news, it's that it's to Daniels' non-throwing arm. But expect him to miss significant time, turning the offense back over to QB Marcus Mariota.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday night’s game vs. the Seahawks. Daniels won’t have WR Terry McLaurin, though, while LT Laremy Tunsil is questionable. Throw in a tough matchup, and Daniels sits lower than usual in the Week 9 QB rankings.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Seahawks. Daniels will play that one without WR Terry McLaurin against a stout defense that ranks 15th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs. There's also at least some risk of another aggravation of the hamstring injury. Daniels isn't the elite fantasy play that he is most weeks, but he'll still make sense in plenty of fantasy lineups.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin suffered a setback with his quad injury in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs and is out for Week 9, HC Dan Quinn said Wednesday. McLaurin missed four weeks with this injury the first time, and players often miss more time with setbacks. That's just speculation -- and we'll look for more info on McLaurin's status -- but fantasy managers should plan to be without him beyond Week 9.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said Tuesday that QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) had a good rehab session and is expected to practice on Wednesday. He seems to have a legitimate shot to make it back for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks, although fantasy managers should still have a backup option rostered. We'll keep you updated on Daniels' progress throughout the week.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) won't play vs. the Chiefs on Monday night, according to multiple reports. Daniels is dealing with a "low-grade hamstring strain," per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Not a long-term injury but Commanders don't want to risk it," Fowler adds. It sounds like Daniels has a chance to be back for Week 9's game against the Seahawks, but it'll be QB Marcus Mariota back under center in Kansas City. He made two starts earlier this season, finishing QB6 against the Raiders and QB19 against the Falcons. It's a tough spot on Monday night, with Washington sporting an 18.5-point implied total vs. the Chiefs' fifth-ranked QB defense. That has Mariota sitting outside the top-12 in the Week 8 QB rankings. But he's a viable spot starter if you're dealing with injuries or bye weeks at the position.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said Monday that QB Jayden Daniels' hamstring injury is not significant but that he's uncertain for Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs. That's relatively good news. But, considering Daniels' play style and injury history, we'd be a bit surprised if he played just eight days after suffering this injury. We'll keep a close eye on his status this week. The late kickoff could leave fantasy owners hoping to start Daniels in a tricky spot. Your best bet in that case might be rostering QB Marcus Mariota as insurance. He turned in QB6 and QB19 fantasy finishes in two starts in place of Mariota earlier this season.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered an apparent hamstring injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He headed straight into the medical tent. We'll update Daniels' status when we know more. He'll be replaced by QB Marcus Mariota, who played well in two starts earlier this season and will be a fantasy factor if Daniels misses more time.

Washington has downgraded WR Deebo Samuel to out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He's not even traveling with the team, thanks to the heel injury that he played through in last Monday night's loss to the Bears. Samuel still led the team's pass catchers in playing time for that contest.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will have "no restrictions" or "mandates on how to play" as he returns from his knee injury for Sunday's game vs. the Chargers, according to The Athletic's Nicki, Jhabvala. Daniels will wear a brace on that injured knee, though. And Washington would like him to do a better job protecting himself. “That might be a throwaway or that’s (the choice) to slide and get down,” HC Dan Quinn said this week. “And so those are the lessons that you want to keep digging on. As you said, you don’t want to take away from the competitive nature and when he can extend, but just the decision-making when those come — and it’s not something that he takes carelessly.” Daniels' legs will always be a big part of his game -- and his fantasy value. But we're not expecting his rushing ability to be at 100% in Week 5 coming off the knee injury. That has Daniels sitting a little lower than usual in the Week 5 QB rankings.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers but will do so with a brace on that injured knee. It’s fair to expect Daniels’ rushing production to be at least a bit limited. That has him sitting a bit lower than usual in the Week 5 QB rankings.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that WR Terry McLaurin has been ruled OUT for Week 5. McLaurin, WR Noah Brown, and G Sam Cosmi will not travel to Los Angeles to face the Chargers.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) has been medically cleared and will practice fully on Wednesday, HC Dan Quinn said. Daniels told reporters that he plans on playing vs. the Chargers this weekend. We'll keep tabs on his status over the next few days, but it sounds like fantasy managers will be able to comfortably get him back into starting lineups.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) is expected back for Week 5's game against the Chargers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Daniels got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday this week, and then had a Saturday workout that went "really well," per Rapoport. We'll keep tabs on Daniels' status this coming week, but fantasy owners can tentatively plan on having him back in lineups for Week 5. QB Marcus Mariota gets another start today and is a low-end QB1 option, despite WR Terry McLaurin's absence.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. “While Daniels was pushing to play, doctors did not clear him,” according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. We’ll see if Daniels can make it back for Week 5’s meeting with the Chargers. QB Marcus Mariota gets another start on Sunday after playing well last weekend and finishing QB6 on the week. The matchup is tougher this time around, and Mariota won’t have WR Terry McLaurin. But he’s still a viable lower-end QB1.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice. His status for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons is still uncertain. We'll see what Daniels does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report. Marcus Mariota will again be a lower-end QB1 option if Daniels sits.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He said afterward that he "feels good" but that whether he plays vs. the Raiders this weekend is a doctor's decision. Daniels also said that he and the team are considering having him wear a brace on the injured knee. It's fair to assume that Daniels' rushing ability will be impacted if he does suit up on Sunday. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days.
