Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is 40-of-59 for 551 yards and six touchdowns and two interceptions when his team is tied or trailing by one score in the fourth quarter or overtime this season. He has also led Washington to five comeback wins in those situations.

Huddle Up: Daniels' first year in the NFL is easily one of the best seasons by a rookie quarterback in league history. The No. 2 overall pick rarely looked like a rookie in 2024, completing 69% of his passes for 3,568 yards and rushing for a rookie quarterback-record 891 yards. One of the few blemishes on his first-year resume was taking 47 sacks - a number that increased dramatically after he absorbed 18 of them over the final four regular season contests. Regardless, Daniels will likely be considered a lock as a top-five fantasy option at his position in 2025.

Washington Commanders WR Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is active for the NFC wild-card game Sunday, Jan. 12.

Huddle Up: Crowder is fighting with Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus for targets behind Terry McLaurin. He isn't likely to be a big impact player on offense, but he could be a decent, cheap DFS option if you want to save money to spend up top. He is also a strong punt return option in specialty formats rewarding individual return yardage.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 8.

Huddle Up: McLaurin is the main option in the passing game for the Commanders and has caught at least one touchdown in five of the last six games. He should see plenty of targets this week and will be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Posted 1/06/2025 12:52 am GMT

Washington Commanders WR Olamide Zaccheaus ended up with two receptions for 51 yards on five targets in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Huddle Up: Zaccheaus might not be somebody you rely upon regularly in the fantasy regular season, but in postseason leagues he is a decent WR4 or flex fantasy option. The Commanders travel to meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round next weekend.

Posted 1/06/2025 12:43 am GMT

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin ended up with eight receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Huddle Up: McLaurin ended the season with 82 receptions for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns, including seven scores in the final six outings. He was a legit WR1 in all fantasy leagues, and he'll remain so heading into fantasy postseason leagues and DFS for the NFL playoffs. The Commanders travel to meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round next weekend.

Brian Robinson Jr. - RB

Posted 1/06/2025 12:38 am GMT

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler rushed three times for 12 yards in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys in his first game since late November. He also added two receptions for 20 yards on two targets.

Posted 1/06/2025 12:31 am GMT

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 6-of-12 passes for 38 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys, while running four times for 27 yards before getting pulled in the first half in favor of backup QB Marcus Mariota.

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) will be active for Week 18's game versus the Dallas Cowboys.

Huddle Up: Ekeler was a full participant in all three of Washington's practice sessions during the week and was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Jan. 4. He will be seeing his first game action since Week 12, which also happened to be against the Cowboys, but should not be viewed as a viable fantasy lineup option playing behind Brian Robinson Jr. this afternoon.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (ankle) was a full participant in practice for the third consecutive day on Friday, Jan. 3, and was removed from the Week 18 injury report.
