Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (neck, concussion) told 106.7 The Fan during his weekly radio appearance on Tuesday, Dec. 3, that he is still dealing with concussion symptoms and experiencing neck pain from the Week 12 hit that led to him being placed on the Reserve/Injured list.

Huddle Up: Ekeler noted he has yet to pass concussion protocol but expects to do so soon and is generally positive about the progress he has made since the hit. He is done for the fantasy season but could return for Week 18 or the first game of the playoffs if the Commanders make it that far. It is probably not a coincidence that Brian Robinson's two best fantasy efforts have come in the two games Ekeler has missed, so his fantasy managers should start him with more confidence than usual the rest of the way.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz finished with three receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans.

Huddle Up: Ertz has scored in three consecutive games, while posting three or more catches and at least 35 yards in each outing. He is back as a solid low-end TE1 fantasy option in most leagues of 12 or more teams. However, he will be off in Week 14 with his team on a bye.

Terry McLaurin - WR

Posted 12/02/2024 2:08 am GMT

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin ended up with game highs of eight catches, 73 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans.

Huddle Up: Scary Terry has 73 or more receptions in three of the past four games, while scoring five touchdowns in the past five outings. He has been a dependable WR2 in all fantasy leagues lately, but you'll need to make alternate plans in Week 14 with McLaurin and the Commanders on a bye.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. - RB

Posted 12/02/2024 1:54 am GMT

Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran 13 times for 94 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans, while he was not targeted in the pass game.

Huddle Up: Rodriguez has been solid when given an opportunity at touches. He saw a decent workload in this game as there was a lopsided score on the board, and the Commanders ran the ball more than usual in the second half. He is a player to remember should Brian Robinson Jr. go down with an injury again, but normally Rodriguez's fantasy appeal is rather limited.

Posted 12/02/2024 1:49 am GMT

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 16 times for 103 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans, while adding a 6-yard reception on his only target.

Huddle Up: Robinson is such a beast when he is healthy, but unfortunately it's been touch and go many times this season due to nagging ailments. As long as he is healthy, he is a solid RB2 in most fantasy formats. The Commanders are off in Week 14, however.

Jayden Daniels - QB

Posted 12/02/2024 1:43 am GMT

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 25-of-30 passes for 206 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. He also ran nine times for 34 yards and a score.

Huddle Up: The three touchdown throws were a career high, as were his four total scores. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, they'll need to make other plans, as the Commanders are on a bye in Week 14.

Posted 12/01/2024 8:28 pm GMT

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (rib) suffered a rib injury during the Week 13 game and is considered questionable to return.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see if Brown will miss any additional time because of the injury. He sees a handful of targets each game and can be a possible flex option in fantasy leagues when he returns.

Posted 11/30/2024 9:26 pm GMT

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Nov. 30.

Huddle Up: Ekeler will have time to recover from his concussion and could return before the end of the regular season. Brian Robinson Jr. should receive most of the work at running back while Ekeler is sidelined and can be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.

Posted 11/29/2024 9:21 pm GMT

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 29, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.

Huddle Up: Brown has been targeted at least six times in four of the last five games and is coming off a 71-yard performance last week. He can be a possible flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Posted 11/29/2024 9:19 pm GMT

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 29, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.

Huddle Up: Robinson will receive most of the snaps at running back this week since Austin Ekeler has been ruled out and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Posted 11/29/2024 9:18 pm GMT

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 29, and has been ruled out for Week 13.

Huddle Up: Jeremy McNichols could see a few more touches behind Brian Robinson Jr. this week with Ekeler unavailable. Robinson can be a starting option in all leagues, while McNichols can be avoided in most leagues.

Posted 11/28/2024 9:42 pm GMT

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 28.

Huddle Up: Robinson seems to have a good chance to play, but fantasy players will know his official status later in the week. He could receive most of the work at running back if Austin Ekeler is unavailable and can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Posted 11/28/2024 9:36 pm GMT

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 28.

Huddle Up: Brown may have suffered the injury during practice, so fantasy players should look for an update in the next day or two. He has posted at least 60 yards in three of his last five games and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues if he is able to play.

Posted 11/28/2024 9:33 pm GMT

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 28.

Huddle Up: Ekeler still has time to pass his concussion tests, so fantasy players can continue to monitor the situation. He is at least a flex option in fantasy leagues when healthy, but players need other options ready in case he sits out.

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 27.

Huddle Up: Robinson suffered the injury during the last game but seems to have a chance to play in Week 13. Fantasy players should monitor the situation during the week because he can be a starting option in all leagues if active.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 27.

Huddle Up: Ertz has been targeted at least seven times in four of the last five games and has caught a touchdown in each of the last two games. He should see a decent amount of targets this week and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues.

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 27.

Huddle Up: Ekeler needs to pass his concussion tests before he is cleared to play, so his status for Week 13 is uncertain. He is a starting option in all leagues when healthy, but fantasy players should have other options ready in case he sits out.

Posted 11/25/2024 8:56 pm GMT

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol, head coach Dan Quinn said Monday, Nov. 25.

SOURCE: NFL.com

Huddle Up: Ekeler had a scary incident when he took a big hit to the head, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power. Managers will want to monitor this situation and potential scoop Jeremy McNichols off waivers as a potential spot start.

Posted 11/25/2024 12:03 am GMT

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz ended up with six receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown with eight targets on Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Huddle Up: Ertz has six receptions and a touchdown in each of his past two games. It's his first time with back-to-back scores since Oct. 30-Nov. 6, 2022, when he was with the Arizona Cardinals, and it's the first time he has had at least six receptions and a touchdown in two straight games since Oct. 7-11, 2018, when he was with the Philadelphia Eagles. Ertz has really had a fantasy renaissance working with rookie QB Jayden Daniels in the nation's capital this season. Trust him as a TE1 in all fantasy leagues heading into Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans.

Posted 11/24/2024 11:59 pm GMT

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown ended up with six receptions for 71 yards on 10 targets in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Huddle Up: Brown had a season-high in targets against his former team. He was able to rebound from an ugly game which saw him record a lone 4-yard catch in Week 11. That's four straight games without a score since his Hail Mary scoring grab in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. He remains a useful WR4 or flex fantasy option in PPR leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans.

Terry McLaurin - WR

Posted 11/24/2024 11:38 pm GMT

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin registered five receptions for a game-high 102 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Huddle Up: McLaurin's day was setting up to be a disaster, but he had a miraculous 86-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to save the day at the last minute. Fantasy managers don't care when the points come, but man, it's super stressful when it comes at the last minute. He'll look to keep it rolling in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans.

Jeremy McNichols - RB

Posted 11/24/2024 11:29 pm GMT

Washington Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols ran three times for 22 yards in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys, while he was not targeted in the pass game.

Huddle Up: McNichols didn't do much from a fantasy perspective here, but he is worth watching heading into Week 12. Brian Robinson Jr. left early in the game with an injury and could not return, while Austin Ekeler was hammered on a special teams play in the fourth quarter, also unable to return. If McNichols leads the backfield in Week 13, he could have some fantasy appeal in Week 13.

Jayden Daniels - QB

Posted 11/24/2024 11:25 pm GMT

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 25-of-38 passes for 275 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys, while adding seven runs for a team-high 74 yards and a score.

Huddle Up: The miscues weren't great for Daniels, but he more than made up for it with the rushing yardage and three total touchdowns. He remains more of a low-end QB1 or high-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans.

Posted 11/24/2024 7:51 pm GMT

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) has left the Week 12 game for a second time because of an ankle injury and is considered questionable to return.

Huddle Up: There is a chance that Robinson is held out of the rest of the game after leaving for the second time in the game. Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation to see if Robinson will be available for Week 13.

Posted 11/23/2024 2:48 am GMT

Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. faces the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12, and the Cowboys are allowing the second-most rushing yards per game and have allowed a league-high 18 rushing touchdowns.

SOURCE: ESPN.com

Huddle Up: Robinson has been steady, albeit unspectacular, this season, logging at leasrt 12 carries in seven of his eight games. He could be next back to gash the Dallas defense, and Robinson should be locked in as a RB2.

Posted 11/20/2024 9:29 pm GMT

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Huddle Up: Ertz has been targeted at least seven times in three of the last four games but has at least 50 yards in only one of those games. He likely will receive a similar workload in Week 12 and could be a possible low-end No. 1 tight end in some deeper leagues.
