        Week 1 Overview

        Washington opens the 2025 slate with the fourth-most implied points, setting up Jayden Daniels for another strong showing. The Giants did a respectable job defending Daniels as a passer last season, but he did average 39.5 yards on the ground. The addition of Deebo Samuel gives Kliff Kingsbury another weapon and assures that Daniels remains an elite start.

        When Will Jayden Daniels Be Back?

        When Will Jayden Daniels Be Back?

        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.
