        Jayden Daniels' Hamstring Injury Not Significant, Uncertain For Week 8

        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.
