        Josh Johnson Will Start Week 17

        Commanders QB Josh Johnson will start Thursday's game vs. Cowboys, HC Dan Quinn said. QB Jeff Driskel will be the backup, with QBs Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota ruled out. Johnson has been bouncing around the NFL since 2009 but hasn't started a game since 2021 with the Ravens. He's 39 years old. Despite the plus matchup against Dallas' 32nd-ranked QB defense, Johnson isn't a recommended start in any fantasy format. The matchup keeps Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel in WR3 range in the Week 17 rankings.
