Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.
Huddle Up: Ertz picked up his first touchdown of the season last week and has been targeted at least five times in each of the last three games. He should receive a similar workload this week and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some deeper leagues.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (rib) will not practice on Wednesday, Oct. 23, head coach Dan Quinn said.
Huddle Up: It's not surprising Daniels is taking the first day of the week off, as the Commanders are going to be extremely careful with their prized quarterback. It also wouldn't be surprising to see Daniels sit out at least one week, even if he is healthy enough to play. If Daniels doesn't suit up, Marcus Mariota will take the reins once again. Mariota showed he can still be a fantasy asset last week, but he also put together his strong performance against the lowly Carolina Panthers. The Chicago Bears will be a tougher nut to crack, but Mariota is still on the QB2 radar entering Week 8, mostly thanks to his ability to run.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (ribs) is very much in doubt for Week 8 as the team plans to be extremely cautious with their franchise quarterback.
Huddle Up: The game against the Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams was flexed into an afternoon slot, but the team is going to do everything they can to avoid further complications. Daniels was initially injured on his long run and remained in the game a few plays before ultimately exiting. Marcus Mariota was fantastic in his place, going 18-for-23 for 205 yards and two scores. He would be a solid QB2 option or injury replacement.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (ribs) is considered week-to-week, head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Monday, Oct. 21.
Huddle Up: It's unclear whether Daniels will play in Week 8 so managers will want to monitor the practice reports throughout the week. He's worth starting if he's active despite the injury.

Washington Commanders TE Ben Sinnott had two receptions for six yards and his first NFL touchdown on two targets in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Sinnott is a player with a little bit of upside, but the rookie's fantasy ceiling and role is rather limited as long the veteran Zach Ertz continues to chug away. Look to Sinnott as an option only in the very deepest of fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz posted four receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Ertz linked up with backup QB Marcus Mariota, who was filling in for the injured QB Jayden Daniels (ribs). The 33-year-old tight end has eight catches for 108 yard and the score in the past two games, and three or more catches in six of his seven games. He is right there in that low-end TE1 or high-end TE2 neighborhood in PPR fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams. The Commanders host the Bears in Week 8.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin ended up with six receptions for a game-high 98 yards on six targets in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Scary Terry just missed clinching his third 100-yard game of the season. This was especially impressive since a majority of the action came with Marcus Mariota under center for the injured Jayden Daniels. He has four or more catches in six straight games, and six or more catches in four of those outings. He is a strong WR2 in PPR fantasy leagues, with slightly lesser appeal in standard play. The Commanders host the Bears in Week 8.

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler rushed four times for 17 yards in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, while cashing in his two targets for just three receiving yards.
Huddle Up: Ekeler is back to a backup role now that Brian Robinson Jr. is 100 percent healthy and ready to assume his role as the bellcow in the Washington backfield. Avoid Ekeler outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols rushed seven times for 42 yards in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, and he was not targeted in the pass game.
Huddle Up: Now that Brian Robinson Jr. is healthy, both McNichols and Austin Ekeler will simply be operating in a complementary role. McNichols is back to being useful only in the deepest of fantasy leagues heading into Week 8 against Chicago.

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 12 times for 71 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, and he was not targeted in the pass game.
Huddle Up: Now that Robinson is fully healthy, he'll be the bellcow in the nation's capital, with Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols helping in a supporting role only. Robinson is a legit RB2 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 8 against the Chicago Bears.

Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota completed 18-of-23 passes for 205 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers in place of the injured QB Jayden Daniels (ribs). Mariota also ran 11 times for 34 yards.
Huddle Up: Mariota did a great job once Daniels left the game early in the first half due to a ribs injury. It also helped that Mariota was facing the defensively-challenged Carolina Panthers. Daniels is expected to be OK, but if Mariota gets the start in Week 8, he is only worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues using two starting signal callers, since there are no teams on a bye.

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is officially active for the Week 7 game.
Huddle Up: Robinson probably will receive most of the carries in the running back but will continue to share playing time with Austin Ekeler. He can be at least a flex option in all fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 18, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.
Huddle Up: Brown is coming off one of his better games of the season and was targeted eight times in Week 6. He should see a handful of targets against the Carolina Panthers and could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 18, and is listed as questionable for Week 7.
Huddle Up: Robinson may be a game-time decision, so fantasy players will need to monitor his status over the next few days. He will receive a good amount of touches if he is cleared to play and can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 17.
Huddle Up: Brown is coming off a solid Week 6 performance and probably will see a few targets this week. He could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues but probably can be avoided in most leagues.

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 17.
Huddle Up: Robinson appears to have a decent chance to play in Week 7, but fantasy players will know more in the next day or two. He probably will see most of the carries in the running game if he plays and can be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) was limited at practice for a second straight day on Thursday, Oct. 17.
Huddle Up: The Commanders face a porous Carolina Panthers defense this weekend, so Robinson's availability is a big deal in fantasy. Assuming Robinson is cleared to play and ready to assume his usual workload, he has a chance to be a top-five option at the position. If Washington decides Robinson needs another week, Austin Ekeler makes for a solid RB2 play, while Jeremy McNichols makes sense as a decent flex in deeper leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 16.
Huddle Up: Brown has posted at least 50 yards in two of his four games this season but is averaging under five targets per game. He should see a handful of targets this week but can be avoided in most leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 16.
Huddle Up: McLaurin is coming off a two-touchdown performance last week and has at least one touchdown in three of the last four games. He is the main option in the passing game for the Commanders and is a weekly starting option in all leagues.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 16.
Huddle Up: Ertz is coming off a season-high 68 yards in the last game and has been targeted at least five times in three of the last four games. He should see a similar workload this week but may only be a No. 2 fantasy tight end in most leagues.

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) will practice on Wednesday, Oct. 16, head coach Dan Quinn said.
Huddle Up: We don't have Robinson's exact participation yet, but even a limited session would be an upgrade and put him on track to return. He's a borderline RB1 if he suits up.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin caught six passes for 53 yards and two touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. He was targeted seven times during the game.
Huddle Up: McLaurin has posted at six receptions in three of the last five games and posted at least 100 yards in two of the last four games. He will continue to be the main target in the passing game and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown caught four passes for 58 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. He was targeted eight times during the game.
Huddle Up: Brown was a big part of the passing game this week with eight targets. There is a chance that he can become the No. 2 receiver for the Commanders and see a decent amount of targets each game. He could become a possible flex option in deeper leagues if he continues to receive a similar workload.

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler rushed for 21 yards on nine carries against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. He also caught four passes for 47 yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Ekeler was the main running back for the Commanders this week but was more successful in the passing game. He will continue to have a solid role in the offense even when Brian Robinson Jr. returns to the lineup and can be a flex option most weeks.
