Will Jayden Daniels Play Again This Season?

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was cleared to return to today's game vs. the Vikings and that he plans on Daniels playing again this season. We'll see. Washington fell to 3-10 in Minnesota and was officially eliminated from postseason contention. It wouldn't make sense to us to keep throwing your franchise QB who's been beat up all season back out there. QB Marcus Mariota is at least worth stashing in 2-QB and superflex leagues. The Commanders still have plus matchups remaining against the Giants in Week 15 and Cowboys in Week 17.
