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

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Posted 11/15/2024 6:07 am GMT
Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz had six receptions (on seven targets) for 47 yards and a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. He also caught a pass for a two-point conversion.
Huddle Up: Both the touchdown and conversion happened in the final minute of the game, so they had no impact on the outcome, but they still counted for fantasy owners. The veteran tight end is a nice safety blanket for Jayden Daniels, but he hasn't produced the weekly numbers to be more than a fantasy backup in leagues large enough to warrant carrying a TE2.
Posted 11/15/2024 5:45 am GMT
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin had one reception for 10 yards in a Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He was targeted twice.
Huddle Up: Ever since opening the season with two dismal performances, McLaurin has delivered, either scoring or topping 95 yards in eight straight games leading into Thursday night. He never got going against the Eagles, though, with the vast majority of Jayden Daniels' passes going to the running backs or tight ends. While you don't want to overreact to one bad game, it was the second time in three weeks that he's finished with less than 20 yards, he just managed to score twice in Week 9. Ultimately, he's had far more good games than bad ones this year, and he remains a worthy WR2.
Posted 11/15/2024 5:33 am GMT
Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler led the team in targets (9), receptions (8), and receiving yards (89) versus the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11. He also ran the ball twice for seven yards.
Huddle Up: On a night when the Eagles locked down Washington on the outside, Ekeler was Jayden Daniels' primary target, ultimately falling just shy of 100 total yards even with Brian Robinson back in action. The veteran back is a capable flex option that can creep into RB3 territory some weeks.
Posted 11/15/2024 5:19 am GMT
Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. carried the ball 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, Nov. 14. He also had a nine-yard reception on his only target of the game.
Huddle Up: Back in action after missing two games with a hamstring injury, Robinson put up 72 yards and a score, which is on brand for what he's been doing recently -- he had 76 yards and 0 TDs in Week 8, and 71 yards and 1 TD in Week 7. Those numbers are a bit disappointing after he opened the season with three big games in the first four weeks, including two with over 100 yards. Still, he can be deployed as a low-end or possibly even a midrange RB2 at this time.
Posted 11/15/2024 5:04 am GMT
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 22 of 32 passes for 191 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception versus the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, Nov. 14. Daniels also ran the ball seven times for 18 yards.
Huddle Up: We're definitely seeing a lull in production from the rookie, who has averaged 201 yards passing, 19 yards rushing, and 1 TD per game over the last three weeks. Outside of his 326-yard effort against the Bears in Week 8, which was aided by a Hail Mary, Daniels hasn't been the same player since suffering a rib injury on Oct. 20. Perhaps a little extra rest, and a visit from the struggling Cowboys, will help him get back on track.
Posted 11/14/2024 3:06 am GMT
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin has either scored a touchdown or reached 98 receiving yards in each of the last eight games.
Huddle Up: After opening the season with two awful performances, McLaurin has become one of the most dependable options at the wide receiver position. He is the go-to option in Washington's passing attack and in the WR1 mix on a weekly basis.
Posted 11/13/2024 8:47 pm GMT
Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13, and is not on the injury report for Week 11.
Huddle Up: Robinson should be back in the lineup after missing the last two games because of his injury. He should see most of the carries in the running game and can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/11/2024 9:49 pm GMT
Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was limited during practice Monday, Nov. 11. The Commanders did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Robinson has missed the last two games because of the injury, so fantasy players should monitor his situation over the next few days. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues if he is able to play.
Posted 11/11/2024 12:35 am GMT
Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz was good for four receptions and 31 yards on eight targets in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Huddle Up: The veteran is having a resurgence in 2024, posting four or more receptions in six of his past nine games. He is a borderline low-end TE1 or must-start TE2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams. The Commanders face the Eagles in Philadelphia on Thursday night in Week 11.
Posted 11/11/2024 12:33 am GMT
Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown ended up with three receptions for 33 yards on seven targets in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Huddle Up: Brown had that huge Hail Mary catch a couple of weeks ago, and he has managed six or more targets in each of the past three games. He also has three or more grabs in seven of eight games to date. He has some fantasy appeal in deeper PPR leagues, but his value is lesser in standard play.
Posted 11/11/2024 12:30 am GMT
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin ended up with five receptions for a game-high 113 yards on six targets in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Huddle Up: McLaurin managed his fourth 100-yard game of the season, and he has four games with five or more receptions in the five outings. He is a solid low-end WR1 in all fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams. Next up is a trip to Philadelphia in Week 12 on Thursday night.
Posted 11/11/2024 12:22 am GMT
Washington Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols ended up with four runs for seven yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he was not targeted in the pass game.
Huddle Up: While the touchdown was nice, less than two yards per carry isn't going to get it done. Austin Ekeler had the highest volume with Brian Robinson Jr. sidelined, and he is the player to target for fantasy purposes Thursday in Philadelphia if Robinson is sidelined again. McNichols is only worthy using in the deepest of fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/11/2024 12:20 am GMT
Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler ran 13 times for a team-high 44 yards and two touchdowns in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while adding a single 7-yard reception on two targets.
Huddle Up: Ekeler was taking advantage of the fact Brian Robinson Jr. was sidelined, and Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. could do nothing on the ground. Ekeler still has plenty left in the tank, and if he leads the backfield Thursday in Philadelphia, he could have some appeal as a RB3 or flex fantasy option.
Posted 11/11/2024 12:17 am GMT
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels ended up 17-of-34 for 202 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while adding three runs for just five yards.
Huddle Up: The Steelers did a pretty good job putting the clamps on the exciting rookie, and it was just the second full game for Daniels without a touchdown this season. The last time he did that was Week 2 against the New York Giants, and his real team still managed to get the win. He'll look to rebound in Week 11 on a short week in Philadelphia Thursday.
Posted 11/08/2024 9:11 pm GMT
Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 8, and has been ruled out for Week 10.
Huddle Up: Robison was able to do some things during practice this week but is not ready to play yet. Austin Ekeler and Chris Rodriguez Jr. probably will share playing time at running back this week and both can be at flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/07/2024 9:02 pm GMT
Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 7.
Huddle Up: Robinson likely will receive a majority of the carries if he is able to play this week and will be facing a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that had trouble against the run in their last game. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues if active.
