Jayden Daniels Tracking Towards a Week 14 Return
NFL Insider Tom Pelissero reported that Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and is tracking to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. Important to note, head coach Dan Quinn said earlier in the week that he was not cleared for contact, and it's unclear at this point whether that clearance has been granted. Still, full participation on Thursday is a big step in the right direction. Although nothing is official about his return, the news is very encouraging for Daniel's fantasy owners, as we saw in 2024, Daniel provides high upside at the quarterback position, primarily due to his rushing upside. Although the news is encouraging to a young star getting back on the field, fantasy managers should temper expectations given that he hasn't played much in 2025. When he returns, and considering the Commanders are out of playoff contention (3-9), it's likely the coaching staff will want him to limit his rushing so that he doesn't take as many hits. Regardless, Daniels should provide QB1 value once he returns and should be inserted into most lineups. Marcus Mariota has filled in admirably for Daniels in his absence, but if Daniels suits up, Mariota can be dropped to waivers.
