Jayden Daniels Fantasy Overview

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Giants, just three weeks after dislocating his left elbow. While it shouldn’t impact the righty’s passing, Daniels’ rushing figures to be limited, and he’ll be at risk of re-injury. He lasted just 39 snaps when he tried to return from this same injury last year. Consider him a risk/reward fantasy start this week.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He was still wearing a bulky brace on that left elbow, but he's seemingly on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. We expect Daniels' rushing volume to be scaled back in that one, and he'll be at some risk of re-injury. Daniels lasted just 39 snaps when he tried to return from this same injury last year.

Commanders QB Athan Kaliakmanis took over for Marcus Mariota after Mariota left Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts with a right leg injury in the first quarter. Kaliakmanis completed 15 of 33 passes (45.5%) for 186 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT, and he took 1 sack. His lone TD came on a 47-yard strike, and he added 16 yards on 3 carries. Before exiting, Mariota went 3 for 4 for 46 yards and ripped off a 35-yard scramble.

The Commanders are planning to get QB Jayden Daniels back from his elbow injury for Week 5, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports. Daniels got in limited practices this week with a bulky brace on that left elbow. We'll see if he plans to wear that vs. the Giants next week, but he'll certainly come with some re-injury risk.
