Jayden Daniels Back In Place
1 week ago

Washington Commanders Head Coach Dan Quinn announced that Jayden Daniels will start Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings.

After a gruesome elbow dislocation in a blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Commanders star quarterback Jayden Daniels is set for his return, as announced by head coach Dan Quinn.

 

 

While NFL playoffs look out of reach for the Commanders, fantasy managers are rejoicing with the opportunity to inject Daniels into their lineups as our playoff seasons approach. Daniels possesses the dual threat ability ceiling we fantasy managers are always chasing on our team. On the season Daniels has recorded 105 completions on 168 attempts for 1184 yards and eight touchdowns while adding 262 and two touchdowns on the ground. Does his return also raise the ceiling of Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuels who continued to be viable lineup options with veteran Marcus Mariota behind center.

Jayden Daniels Will Be Out for Sunday Night Football
2 weeks ago

Jayden Daniels will be out this Sunday vs. the Broncos while wide receiver Terry McLaurin returns.

The 3-8 Commanders will get wide receiver Terry McLaurin back. Meanwhile, their star quarterback Jayden Daniels, will miss Week 13. 

 

While progress is being made by Daniels intimating that he may be ready for Week 14, it will be at least one more week without Daniels at the helm. This is bittersweet news for fantasy managers, but hopeful that Daniels may return as soon as next week. Early injury reports next week will be a crucial indicator for Daniels’ status next week.

Jayden Daniels Suffers Gruesome Injury
1 month ago

Washington Commanders star quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow in Week 9 against the Seahawks.

Late in the fourth quarter of a blowout game against the Seattle Seahawks, star quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a significant arm injury, which turned out to be a dislocated elbow. This season has been a nightmare for the Commanders and fantasy managers alike as Daniels has now had three separate injuries.

 

While admitting that his quarterback shouldn’t have been on the field after the game was out of hand, head coach Dan Quinn reiterated that surgery on the elbow was not necessary. He stopped short of saying that Daniels would not potentially be shut down for the season, depending on how the Commanders fare in the coming weeks. Fantasy managers would be wise to settle on a replacement in the case that he doesn’t return.

 

Reports have stated that the injury was a dislocation and not a fracture, which could leave the door open for a return this season. Be on the lookout for more news regarding Daniels on Wednesday or Thursday as the team runs more tests. The silver lining from the injury was that it was not on his throwing arm; however, he will still be placed on the injured reserve. Marcus Mariota will return as the starter in Week 10 to face the Detroit Lions. Still, he will be without the services of Terry McLaurin (quad) and now Luke McCaffrey, who left the game against the Seahawks with a broken collarbone.

Treylon Burks Expected to Sign With the Washington Commanders
1 month ago

The Washington Commanders are expecting to add wide receiver Treylon Burks to their practice squad.

The Washington Commanders are hoping to catch lightning in a bottle by adding former first round wide receiver Treylon Burks. Burks was selected 18th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.

 

With Terry McLaurin nursing a quad injury which has sidelined him multiple weeks, the Commanders are in need of reinforcements. Deebo Samuel has also been dealing with a heel injury which has limited his practice participation. This leaves Jayden Daniels in need of more help. 

 

Burks notably was selected in 2022 to replace star receiver A.J. Brown who was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. Brown has since gone on to 2 Super Bowl appearances with 1 championship. Meanwhile, Burks never averaged over 8.6 fantasy points per game in the last 3 seasons. Burks is an excellent stash in dynasty at the end of rosters in hopes of a revival in Washington.

Commanders Injury Woes Grow
2 months ago

The Washington Commanders have announced that both Terry McLaurin and Jayden Daniels will miss Week 4 with injuries.

The Washington Commanders will be without both their stars for this weekend’s clash with the Falcons. Quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss another game with his knee injury, while wide receiver Terry McLaurin is out of action with a quad injury.

 

 

With the injury news, the Commanders will have Marcus Mariota leading the way, looking to build off last week’s success against the Las Vegas Raiders, where he went 15/21 for 207 yards and a touchdown while adding 40 yards and a score on the ground.
