Jayden Daniels Fantasy Stats

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) practiced in full on Thursday, per Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan. Daniels has been sidelined since Week 9 after suffering a dislocated left elbow, but it appears he may be nearing a return to the field in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old has been limited by multiple injuries to just six games this season. However, Daniels remains one of the NFL's premier dual-threat quarterbacks when healthy, as he's thrown for 1,184 yards and eight touchdowns and rushed for 262 yards and two scores. While Washington has not officially announced that Daniels is cleared to play in Week 14, his return to full practices is undoubtedly a positive sign. If he remains sidelined for another week, veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota will make another start for the Commanders on Sunday against the Vikings.

While the Washington Commanders have not yet cleared quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for contact, there's hope that he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's road outing with the Minnesota Vikings. Despite suffering a gruesome elbow injury back in Week 9, the LSU product has steadily progressed. Daniels has only been able to practice in a limited capacity since returning to the team, and will likely need to log a full session before being cleared to play. However, it's encouraging that the Commanders haven't ruled him out for this weekend's clash, leaving the door open for a return to action. If the second-year pro fails to be active for another contest, veteran Marcus Mariota will again lead the charge against a floundering Minnesota squad. Mariota has been serviceable in the former's stead, but would still be only a low-end streaming option for fantasy.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Daniels is back at practice after dislocating his left (non-throwing) elbow back in Week 9, but he has yet to be cleared for contact and is up in the air to return on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. The Commanders plan on waiting until Friday to re-evaluate the 24-year-old second-year signal-caller. There's a chance that Daniels will be able to return in Minnesota, but the Commanders will probably play it extra safe with their franchise QB, and he'll likely need to upgrade to a full practice before the week is over to have a realistic shot of playing. Washington won't be afraid to give Marcus Mariota his seventh start of the year if they are on the fence about Daniels' status.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will get a lot of reps in practice on Wednesday, but the team will re-evaluate him on Friday after he's had a full week of practice, per John Keim of ESPN. Daniels is getting closer to making a return, but he still hasn't been cleared for contact, and his status for Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings will depend on how he handles the next three days. When the second-year signal-caller suffered a gruesome dislocation of his left (non-throwing) elbow back in Week 9, it seemed like he'd be lost for the season, especially considering the Commanders' record. However, the 24-year-old avoided any broken bones or ligament damage, and he's pushing to return this year. The Commanders will play this one very cautiously, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Marcus Mariota get one more start this weekend after a strong performance against one of the league's best defenses in a near upset over the Broncos in Week 13.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday that quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) has not been cleared for contact, and he does not expect to make a final decision on the QB's Week 14 status until Friday, according to Tashan Reed of The Washington Post. Quinn added that Daniels is going through "functional movements" this week as the next step for his return to action following a gruesome dislocation of his left (non-throwing) elbow in Week 9. The second-year signal-caller has a chance to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, but his status still seems very much up in the air, and with the Commanders well out of the playoff picture, it doesn't make sense for the organization to rush their franchise QB back. We'll have a better idea of Daniels' Week 14 status later this week, but we wouldn't be surprised if Marcus Mariota makes another start this weekend.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) was ruled out for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, but he has a chance to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. After dislocating his left elbow in Washington's Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Daniels was a limited participant every day in practice this week and will have an opportunity to return after missing just four games. Daniels has expressed the desire to return to action despite the Commanders' 3-8 record and after dealing with knee and hamstring injuries earlier in the year. Marcus Mariota will continue filling in as Washington's starter until Daniels is able to return.

The Washington Commanders officially ruled out quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for Sunday night's game against the visiting Denver Broncos in Week 13, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Daniels has not played since suffering a gruesome dislocation of his left (non-throwing) elbow in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old second-year signal-caller returned to practice for the first time this week, but he's not quite ready to make his return after several limited practices. Even though the Commanders are well out of playoff contention, they are optimistic that Daniels can return to play against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14 if he's cleared for contact. For at least another week, veteran backup Marcus Mariota will lead Washington's offense this Sunday night against one of the best defenses in the league in the Broncos.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) was listed as limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Daniels will most likely be officially ruled out for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football, but there's a chance he'll return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings if he continues to make progress. The 24-year-old second-year signal-caller has not played since suffering a gruesome dislocated left (non-throwing) elbow in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Even though the Commanders have lost six straight games to put them well out of playoff contention, it sounds as though Daniels will return when he's cleared in December. The former second overall pick also missed a few games early in the season with a knee injury. In his six games, Daniels has thrown for 1,184 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) has been sidelined since suffering a gruesome dislocated left elbow in his team's Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. However, the 24-year-old was able to avoid surgery, and a return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings is a "realistic possibility," per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Fowler notes that while Daniels has not been officially ruled out for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, Washington is more likely to go with veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota for one more week. Across six games this season, Daniels has completed 62.5% of his pass attempts for 1,184 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions. He's also been a major threat with his legs, rushing for 262 yards and two touchdowns on 54 attempts. While a Week 14 return for Daniels would obviously be a positive thing for fantasy managers, it might be wise to temper expectations, specifically for his rushing workload. With Washington currently saddled with a 3-8 record, the team will likely be cautious with putting its franchise quarterback at risk.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) said he has been throwing, according to John Keim of ESPN. Daniels started throwing the football around last week, but there remains no clear timetable on when he might return. "If I'm healthy and ready to go, I want to be out there," Daniels said when asked about the possibility of returning this year despite the injury risk. The 24-year-old is expected to resume practicing with the team this week (likely in a limited fashion), but he's not expected to play on Sunday Night Football against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. The second-year QB suffered a dislocation of his left (non-throwing) elbow in Week 9 and has been out since. With the Commanders well out of playoff contention, it remains to be seen if Washington will even consider bringing Daniels back this year. Veteran Marcus Mariota has been starting with Daniels sidelined, and he should make another start this weekend in a tough matchup against the Broncos.
