Jayden Daniels Sidelined for Weeks, Commanders' Record May Impact Return Timeline

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is expected to miss at least the next three weeks due to an elbow injury, which would keep him out through the team's Week 12 bye. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggests this absence could extend to 5-6 weeks, depending on the severity and re-evaluation. Fowler also indicated that the Commanders' current 3-6 record and upcoming games (like being big underdogs to the Lions) could influence when, or if, Daniels returns this season. There's a possibility he could be shut down if the team continues to lose. While fantasy managers are advised to stash Daniels, they should not rely on him for contributions for the remainder of the season.
