The Washington Commanders will host the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Jayden Daniels.
Is Jayden Daniels Playing in Week 13?
Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Daniels (left elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Broncos, Zach Selby of the Commanders’ official site reports.
We’ll continue to monitor the Commanders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Daniels in Week 13?
It’s believed to be a long shot that Daniels (elbow) suits up this week, but a return to practice does point to a return sooner than later.
We could debate about the rationale that goes into that decision, but at the end of the day, that’s not our job. This season, he has a rush TD or multiple passing scores in four of six games, and while it hasn’t looked the same as his standout rookie season, a healthy version of him is a fantasy asset.
After this week, the Commanders go Vikings-Giants-Eagles-Cowboys to close the fantasy season. We catch a break with the second Philadelphia game coming in Week 18, and the other three opponents over that stretch don’t scare me in a significant way.
We can address the Eagles matchup in Week 16 (a Saturday kickoff) when the time comes, but if he returns next week on the fast track in Minnesota, I anticipate having him ranked as a starter in all formats.
