Commanders HC Dan Quinn said Monday that QB Jayden Daniels' is "sore" but that there's no long-term concern about the health of his left elbow. Quinn declined to say whether Daniels will play against the Giants on Sunday. We'll keep you updated on the situation, but we're starting the week projecting QB Marcus Mariota to get the start. Daniels has dealt with knee, hamstring, and elbow injuries in this lost season for Washington.

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.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels re-injured his left elbow in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He went into the medical tent and has been replaced by QB Marcus Mariota. Daniels is officially questionable to return.

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.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. As ESPN's Adam Schefter said, Daniels is now "trending in the right direction to start Sunday at Minnesota." The left elbow injury won't impact his passing, but it could limit Daniels' rushing. He'll check in lower than usual in the Week 14 QB rankings, but Daniels will be a viable starter in 1-QB fantasy leagues.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) has not yet been cleared for contact, HC Dan Quinn said Monday. Quinn didn't rule Daniels out for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings, but we'd bet against him returning before getting in a full week of practice. We're projecting QB Marcus Mariota to make another start this weekend, but we'll continue to keep you updated on Daniels' progress.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Broncos. HC Dan Quinn said Friday that Daniels has made "great progress" but hasn’t been cleared for contact yet. He seemingly has a chance to return for Week 14, but it’ll be QB Marcus Mariota back under center on Sunday night against Denver’s top-ranked QB defense.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will return to practice this week but is considered a "long shot" to play vs. the Broncos on Sunday night, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It looks like Daniels will get medical clearance to play before the end of the season, but it's still uncertain whether the 3-8 Commanders will throw him back out there. We'll keep you updated on Daniels' status. QB Marcus Mariota is in line to start against Denver this weekend but will only be in play in 2-QB and Superflex leagues.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will be out at least the next three weeks, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. That takes Daniels through Washington's Week 12 bye. Fowler adds, though, that "this could turn into a 5-6 week thing real fast, depending on when they revisit this." Fowler also suggests that the Commanders' record could impact when (or if) Daniels returns. They're currently sitting at 3-6 and are big underdogs to the Lions tomorrow. We wouldn't be shocked if the Commanders shut Daniels down if they lose a few more games. He's still worth stashing in most fantasy leagues for now, but managers can't be counting on him contributing the rest of the way.

After seeking multiple opinions on his injured left elbow, Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will not undergo surgery, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Daniels did not suffer any ligament damage to the elbow and "will not be immediately placed on Injured Reserve," Rapoport adds. That seemingly leaves the door open for Washington to change its mind, perhaps if they lose another couple of games with QB Marcus Mariota. Daniels is expected to be re-evaluated during the Commanders' Week 12 bye, so we certainly won't see him before Week 13. We'll continue to keep you updated on his status, but Daniels is worth keeping stashed if you have the bench space.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow in Sunday night's loss to the Seahawks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Daniels will get an MRI today to determine the extent of the damage and his expected return timeline.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered a gruesome left arm injury late in the fourth quarter of a 38-7 game vs. the Seahawks on Sunday night. He was placed in an air cast and helped off the field. This has the look of a significant, potentially season-ending injury. If there's good news, it's that it's to Daniels' non-throwing arm. But expect him to miss significant time, turning the offense back over to QB Marcus Mariota.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday night’s game vs. the Seahawks. Daniels won’t have WR Terry McLaurin, though, while LT Laremy Tunsil is questionable. Throw in a tough matchup, and Daniels sits lower than usual in the Week 9 QB rankings.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Seahawks. Daniels will play that one without WR Terry McLaurin against a stout defense that ranks 15th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs. There's also at least some risk of another aggravation of the hamstring injury. Daniels isn't the elite fantasy play that he is most weeks, but he'll still make sense in plenty of fantasy lineups.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin suffered a setback with his quad injury in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs and is out for Week 9, HC Dan Quinn said Wednesday. McLaurin missed four weeks with this injury the first time, and players often miss more time with setbacks. That's just speculation -- and we'll look for more info on McLaurin's status -- but fantasy managers should plan to be without him beyond Week 9.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said Tuesday that QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) had a good rehab session and is expected to practice on Wednesday. He seems to have a legitimate shot to make it back for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks, although fantasy managers should still have a backup option rostered. We'll keep you updated on Daniels' progress throughout the week.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) won't play vs. the Chiefs on Monday night, according to multiple reports. Daniels is dealing with a "low-grade hamstring strain," per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Not a long-term injury but Commanders don't want to risk it," Fowler adds. It sounds like Daniels has a chance to be back for Week 9's game against the Seahawks, but it'll be QB Marcus Mariota back under center in Kansas City. He made two starts earlier this season, finishing QB6 against the Raiders and QB19 against the Falcons. It's a tough spot on Monday night, with Washington sporting an 18.5-point implied total vs. the Chiefs' fifth-ranked QB defense. That has Mariota sitting outside the top-12 in the Week 8 QB rankings. But he's a viable spot starter if you're dealing with injuries or bye weeks at the position.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said Monday that QB Jayden Daniels' hamstring injury is not significant but that he's uncertain for Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs. That's relatively good news. But, considering Daniels' play style and injury history, we'd be a bit surprised if he played just eight days after suffering this injury. We'll keep a close eye on his status this week. The late kickoff could leave fantasy owners hoping to start Daniels in a tricky spot. Your best bet in that case might be rostering QB Marcus Mariota as insurance. He turned in QB6 and QB19 fantasy finishes in two starts in place of Mariota earlier this season.
