Jayden Daniels Will Start Week 14

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will start this weekend's game vs. the Vikings, HC Dan Quinn confirmed on Friday. Daniels returned to practice last week and then graduated to full participation on Thursday. The left elbow injury won't impact his passing, but it's possible that Daniels' rushing production is limited, at least in his first game back. That knocks him a bit below his usual spot in the weekly QB rankings, but Daniels is still in the mix as a risk/reward QB1 play this week. QB Marcus Mariota has played well this season, but consider Daniels' return an upgrade for Washington's pass catchers.
