Terry McLaurin Dynasty Value

Commanders QB Marcus Mariota injured his right (throwing) hand in the third quarter of Saturday's game vs. the Eagles and did not return. He was also checked for a concussion but was cleared. QB Josh Johnson replaced Mariota, completing 5 of 9 passes for 43 yards and an INT. We'll look for further updates on Mariota's injury. Washington already said QB Jayden Daniels won't play again this season, so we could be looking at a Johnson-led offense for the final two weeks of the season. That'd be a big downgrade for the pass catchers.

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.
