Washington Commanders WR Jaylin Lane (hip) caught one pass for 13 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 before leaving the game because of a hip injury. He was targeted one time during the game.
Huddle Up: Lane has been more involved in the passing game over the last month because of the injuries to Terry McLaurin and Luke McCaffrey, but fantasy players will have to see how long he may be sidelined. He has posted at least 50 yards in only one game this season and can be avoided even if he is healthy after the bye.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz caught four passes for 42 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He was targeted eight times during the game.
Huddle Up: Ertz has caught at least four passes in five of his last six games but has posted at least 50 yards in only one of those games. The Commanders have a Week 12 bye, but Ertz should see a handful of targets in Week 13 and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in most leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel caught seven passes for 74 yards and one touchdown against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He was targeted eight times during the game. He also rushed for three yards on one carry.
Huddle Up: Samuel has been the main target in the passing game while Terry McLaurin has been sidelined and has caught a touchdown in each of his last two games. He may lose a few targets once McLaurin returns but can still be a No. 3 receiver or flex option most weeks.

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed for 28 yards on nine carries against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He also caught one pass for five yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Croskey-Merritt appears to have fallen behind Chris Rodriguez Jr. on the depth chart but still sees a decent amount of touches during games. He will be off next week but will likely see a similar workload in Week 13. He is a possible flex option in some deeper leagues but can be avoided in most leagues for now.

Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed for 79 yards on 15 carries against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He also caught one pass for six yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Rodriguez has become the main running back for the Commanders over the last few weeks and has rushed for at least 60 yards in two of the last three games. He will still be sharing some playing time with Jacory Croskey-Merritt but be a flex option in most leagues.

Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota went 20-for-30 for 213 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He also rushed for 49 yards on four carries during the game.
Huddle Up: Mariota missed a few plays because of a concussion evaluation but returned and played the rest of the game. He has posted decent numbers since taking over for Jayden Daniels for the second time this season. He will be the starter until Daniels returns and can be a possible option in two-quarterback leagues after the team's Week 12 bye.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was ruled out for Week 11. QB Marcus Mariota will start.
Huddle Up: Mariota is a sneaky option against a Miami Dolphins team that trimmed its roster on defense at the trade deadline. Add in that their top pass rusher Bradley Chubb is questionable with an injury, and Mariota could be a low-end QB1 this week.
Posted 11/14/2025 3:58 pm GMT
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) was ruled out for Week 11.
Huddle Up: Deebo Samuel has a 12-81-1 line over the last three weeks as he hasn't been himself either. He'll be a WR2 option with Marcus Mariota under center against the Miami Dolphins.
Posted 11/14/2025 4:39 am GMT
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels' (elbow) will be sidelined through the team's Week 12 bye, and his recovery "could very easily turn into an absence of five to six weeks," sources told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
Huddle Up: The long-term health of Daniels will obviously be Washington's top priority, especially with the team's record sitting at 3-7 entering Week 11. It isn't out of the question that Washington shuts down Daniels for the season, but until that decision is made, keep him on your bench and hope for the best.

Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: Rodriguez should see some touches this week against the Miami Dolphins but may continue to work behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt. He has some value because of his three rushing touchdowns in his last four games but is still unlikely to be a starting option in most leagues.
Posted 11/13/2025 6:06 pm GMT
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: McLaurin is not expected to return to the lineup until after the team's bye week, so fantasy players can keep an eye on his situation. Deebo Samuel is the only Washington receiver that is a reliable starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/12/2025 7:11 pm GMT
Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 12.
Huddle Up: The team is confident that Rodriguez will be able to play in Week 11 and should have a role in the offense. He has recorded a rushing touchdown in each of the last two games but may only be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
Posted 11/12/2025 7:09 pm GMT
Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 12.
Huddle Up: Ertz has caught four passes in each of his last three games and is coming off one of his best performances of the season in Week 10. He will see a good amount of targets this week and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in most leagues.
Posted 11/12/2025 6:59 pm GMT
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) is working towards a return but will not play in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins.
Huddle Up: While he has not returned, this is good news for fantasy players in Week 12 if he can come back in time for it.
Posted 11/12/2025 6:53 pm GMT
Huddle Up: Daniels is not expected to play in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins following the dislocated elbow he suffered previously. Marcus Mariota would start in his place once that becomes official.
Posted 11/10/2025 8:42 pm GMT
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will not be traveling with the team to Spain for their Week 11 game and has been ruled out.
Huddle Up: Daniels will have two more weeks to rehab his dislocated shoulder, so fantasy players will need to check on his status after the Week 12 bye. Marcus Mariota will continue to be the starting quarterback for now. He is coming off a good Week 10 performance but probably will not be a starting option in most leagues.
Posted 11/10/2025 8:11 pm GMT
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will be traveling with the team to Spain this week but will not play in the Week 11 game, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Huddle Up: The Commanders will have a bye next week, so McLaurin will have two more weeks to recover from his injury. He does not need to be rushed back since the team is unlikely to make the playoffs. Deebo Samuel, Jaylin Lane and Treylon Burks may be the main receivers for Washington in Week 11, but Samuel is the only one that can be a starting option in all leagues.

Washington Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols rushed five times for 25 yards and caught one pass for four yards in a 44-22 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10.
Huddle Up: The five carries were a season high for McNichols, and he was the only Washington running back to catch a pass. McNichols' main role has been as the third-down back for Washington, but he will likely need an injury to either Chris Rodriguez Jr. or Jacory Croskey-Merritt to be worth considering as a fantasy starter. In the meantime, McNichols can be stashed as a RB5 in PPR formats.
Posted 11/10/2025 3:50 am GMT
Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed six times for 16 yards and a touchdown in a 44-22 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Rodriguez finished last among Washington's backs in rushing yards, but he also scored for the third time in four games. Washington's backfield is a mess, but if Rodriguez is going to continue to see work around the goal line, he will have potential as a touchdown-dependent flex option in deeper leagues.
Posted 11/10/2025 3:44 am GMT
Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt finished with 11 carries for 30 yards and did not catch a pass in a 44-22 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Croskey-Merritt's recent slump continued, and while he consistently leads the team in carries, he has been held under 40 receiving yards in four straight games. Throw in his lack of usage in the passing game, and Croskey-Merritt is a risky flex play.
Posted 11/10/2025 3:40 am GMT
Washington Commanders WR Treylon Burks caught all three of his targets for a team-high 58 yards in a 44-22 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10.
Huddle Up: In just his second game with the team, Burks led all Washington receivers in yards. The former Titan has struggled with injuries and inconsistent play throughout his career, but with Terry McLaurin injured, the is room for someone to step up at the receiver position in Washington. Burks is worth keeping an eye on.
Posted 11/10/2025 3:36 am GMT
Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz caught four of his five targets for 54 yards in a 44-22 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Ertz had his second-highest receiving total of the year, and he has caught at least four passes in four of his last five games. Ertz doesn't have much of a ceiling, but he he does have a decent floor. Ertz is in the low-end TE1 conversation in PPR formats.
Posted 11/10/2025 3:25 am GMT
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota completed 16 of his 22 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns and rushed five times for 22 yards in a 44-22 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Mariota finished with a solid stat line in a losing effort, and if Jayden Daniels isn't ready to return in Week 11, Mariota will draw favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Keep Mariota in mind as a QB2 if you need a streaming option next weekend.
Posted 11/09/2025 10:29 pm GMT
Washington Commanders DT Daron Payne was ejected in the second quarter against the Detroit Lions in Week 10 after throwing a punch at WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Posted 11/08/2025 4:11 pm GMT
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will have his dislocated left elbow re-examined during the Commanders' Week 12 bye. He has already been ruled out for Week 10's game against the Detroit Lions and is also expected to miss Week 11's contest versus the Miami Dolphins in Madrid.
Huddle Up: A recent MRI exam revealed that Daniels does not have ligament damage and will not need surgery but it remains unknown when he will be able to return. In the meantime, QB Marcus Mariota serve as the Commanders' starting quarterback but he is not a recommended starting fantasy option outside of deeper two-quarterback fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/07/2025 9:51 pm GMT
Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (tooth) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 7, and is not on the injury report for Week 10.
Huddle Up: Croskey-Merritt is dealing with a minor issue and should not have any limitations during the game. He shared playing time with Chris Rodriguez Jr. last week but should see a majority of the work in Week 10. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
