        Jayden Daniels QB WAS

        Jayden Daniels Hurts Hamstring

        Jayden Daniels Hurts Hamstring

        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.
