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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 7, and has been ruled out for Week 10.
Huddle Up: There is a chance McLaurin does not return until after the team's bye, so fantasy players can keep an eye on his recovery. Jaylin Lane will see a few extra targets with McLaurin still sidelined but can be avoided in fantasy leagues. Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz are the only Commanders pass catchers that can be possible starting fantasy options.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) avoided ligament damage in his dislocated elbow and won't require surgery. The team will avoid placing him on the Reserve/Injured list.
Huddle Up: Marcus Mariota has shown flashes and then flashed in a pan. He'll be a matchup play because of his running ability. That's probably not this week against the Detroit Lions.

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (tooth) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 6.
Huddle Up: Croskey-Merritt shared playing time with Chris Rodriguez Jr. in the last game but should still see a good amount of carries this week against the Detroit Lions. He has been held to under 40 rushing yards in each of the last three games but can still be a flex option in leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 6.
Huddle Up: McLaurin is not expected to play this week and may not be on the field until after the team's bye. Deebo Samuel is the only Commanders receiver that should be considered a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (tooth) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Nov. 5, after he had dental work done, according to beat writer John Keim.
Huddle Up: The exact nature of the dental work isn't yet known, and we'll see if he is able to practice in full Thursday or Friday ahead of the Week 10 game against the Detroit Lions. Bill has devolved into more of a RB3 or flex play in most fantasy leagues, as his yards per carry and overall yardage totals have been way down since his breakout game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5. In fact, he has 3.2 yards per carry or less, and a total just 96 total rushing yards in the past three games.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is unlikely to be available to play in the Week 10 game, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Huddle Up: McLaurin aggravated his quadriceps injury last week and does not need to be rushed back since the team is not in a playoff position at this point. There is a chance that he does not return until after the team's bye week. Deebo Samuel is the only Commanders receiver that should be a starting fantasy option.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) has officially been diagnosed with a dislocated elbow and does not have a timetable at this point, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Huddle Up: Daniels will likely miss most of the remaining games this season, but the team should have a bigger idea of his timetable in the near future. Marcus Mariota will be the starting quarterback while Daniels is sidelined but is only a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) suffered broken collarbone in Week 9 and is headed to Injured Reserve.
Huddle Up: Jaylin Lane had three catches for 29 yards in Week 9, and he'll become a potential target for Marcus Mariota. He's not worth the pickup yet, but he should remain on watch lists.

Washington Commanders WR Jaylin Lane caught three of his five targets for 29 yards and lost a fumble in a 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Lane has had his two best games of the season over the past three weeks, and if Terry McLaurin continues to miss time, Lane will have a chance to fill the void. He could be worth adding as a speculative bench piece in deeper formats.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz caught four passes for a team-high 46 yards in a 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.
Huddle Up: The 46 yards were Ertz's most since Week 2, and with Jayden Daniels suffering an injury, Ertz could be headed for a quiet stretch. He is a touchdown-dependent fantasy play at this point.

Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel caught five passes for 41 yards and added a three-yard run in a 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Samuel led Washington in receptions and targets, but he was unable to produce any big plays. Unfortunately, that trend could continue after Jayden Daniels exited with his left arm in an air cast. Samuel is a low-upside WR3 with Daniels sidelined.

Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed 12 times for 65 yards and a touchdown in a 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Rodriguez set season highs in carries and rushing yards, and while it may have been a product of the lopsided score, he was much more effective than Jacory Croskey-Merritt. There is a chance he could earn more work going forward after this performance, and Rodriguez is a stash candidate in deeper leagues.

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed 12 times for 38 yards and caught one pass for three yards in a 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Croskey-Merritt was held under 40 receiving yards for the third straight game, and Chris Rodriguez Jr. actually ended up tying for the team lead in touches. Whether or not Rodriguez will continue to play a bigger role moving forward remains to be seen, but regardless, Croskey-Merritt doesn't have enough upside to use as more than a flex option.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Week 9 and is not expected to be available for the Week 10 game. There is a chance he does not return to the lineup until after the team's Week 12 bye.
Huddle Up: McLaurin returned to the lineup for the last game but reaggravated the injury and will be missing more time. Deebo Samuel will be the main receiver for Washington and is a starting option in all leagues. Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane have stepped up recently, but neither is more than a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt faces the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9, and Seattle's defense ranks first in the NFL in rushing yards allowed (75.7), yards per carry (3.3) and rushing touchdowns allowed (2).
Huddle Up: Since his big performance against the Chargers, Croskey-Merritt has been bottled up in three straight games, managing a total of 119 yards on 39 carries. Throw in his lack of involvement in the passing game, and Croskey-Merritt looks like a low-ceiling flex option against a stingy Seattle defense.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) will return and start the Week 9 game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football.
Huddle Up: Daniels is a solid QB1 against Seattle as he'll finally be under center with both of his top receivers back.
