Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 25 of 30 passes for 206 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday’s blowout win over Tennessee. The rookie added his sixth rushing TD of the season.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels was on his way to a poor fantasy outing through most of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, but turned it around in the fourth quarter. He wound up with 275 yards and 2 TDs passing, plus 74 yards and another TD on the ground.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels totaled just 191 passing yards with one TD and one INT in Thursday night's loss to the Eagles. He ran seven times for 18 yards. A red-hot Philadelphia defense got consistent pressure on Daniels and erased WR Terry McLaurin. In fact, Commanders WRs combined for just four catches and 28 yards. (Daniels completed 10 passes to RBs and eight to TEs.) Washington also struggled on third downs, converting only three of 12 chances. Daniels' TD went to TE Zach Ertz from five yards out with less than a minute to go.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels toughed out this week with a rib injury but won with late game heroics throwing a hail mary score to WR Noah Brown. He ended completing 21-of-38 passes for 326 yards and the lone TD. He also ran eight times for 52 yards.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (rib) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Bears. The rookie missed the first two practices of the week but returned to a limited workout on Friday and participated in Saturday’s walkthrough. It’s possible the rib injury limits his rushing today, and the passing matchup is tough. But Daniels can be put into fantasy lineups if you were waiting on him.
"All signs point" to Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (rib) starting today's game vs. the Bears, ESPN's Adam Schefter writes. "The Commanders still will need to see how Daniels is feeling Sunday in pregame warmups before making any final determination about whether he can start," Schefter adds. Daniels is officially listed as questionable after returning to a limited practice on Friday and then participating in Saturday's walkthrough. We won't get Washington's inactives until a little before 3 pm ET today, so you should have another late-game QB rostered as insurance if you're hoping to start Daniels. The rib issue obviously adds risk to his Week 8 fantasy profile, on top of the matchup against a strong Chicago pass defense. The Bears are much more susceptible on the ground, but it's possible that Daniels' rushing is scaled back today.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will participate in Saturday's walkthrough and get additional treatment on his rib cartilage injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "They’ll see how he feels Sunday," Rapoport adds. Daniels seemingly has a legitimate chance to play against the Bears tomorrow, although we're still projecting QB Marcus Mariota to get the start. We'll keep you updated on the situation. Daniels would come with elevated risk if he does play -- but he'd be tough to leave out of fantasy lineups.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (rib) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's meeting with the Bears. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after sitting out the previous two days. “We will assess how he responds to the work that we did, over the next 48 hours," HC Dan Quinn said after Friday's practice. "But we really pushed it today. Playing quarterback, the movements, the skills, and also specific to the gameplan. Going through the whole thing. We’re really following that process and we’ll let our eyes decide how he responds over the next 48 hours, and that will guide us and we’ll make the best decision for him and the team.” We'll likely get multiple updates on Daniels between now and kickoff. Stay tuned.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (rib) will not practice on Thursday, but the team is planning to get him onto the field on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. How Daniels fares in that workout figures to determine his status for this weekend's game vs. the Bears. Check back tomorrow for an update on the rookie. For now, we'd still plan on not having him for Week 8 fantasy lineups.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (rib) did not practice on Wednesday. While he's reportedly not dealing with a long-term injury, most signs point to him missing this weekend's game vs. the Bears. That'd put QB Marcus Mariota under center for his first start since 2022. Mariota played well against a bad Panthers defense last weekend but would face a much tougher test vs. the Bears.
Commanders HC Dan Quinn on Monday called QB Jayden Daniels "week to week" with the rib injury that knocked him out of Sunday's win over the Panthers. He added that they're "hopeful" he can play in Week 8 against the Bears.
X-rays on Commanders QB Jayden Daniels' ribs showed no fractures, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Daniels is scheduled for additional testing to get a better idea of his injury. Former NFL head team Dr. David Chao suspects Daniels is dealing with a rib cartilage injury that could cost him this weekend's game vs. the Bears. We should learn more over the next 24 hours. QB Marcus Mariota played well in relief of Daniels against a bad Panthers defense, completing 18 of 23 passes for 205 yards and two TDs. He also ran 11 times for 34 yards. The task will be much tougher if Mariota starts vs. the Bears this weekend.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered a rib injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He headed back to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. We'll update Daniels' status when we know more. He's been replaced by QB Marcus Mariota.
Update: Daniels has been ruled out. He returned to the sidelines for the second half, though. And Daniels' mom tweeted that he's "fine."
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels stayed hot in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals. The rookie completed 26-of-30 passes for 233 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. He's now up to an 82.1% completion rate through four games -- a record to start an NFL career (min. 75 attempts).
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels ended the game completing 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards and two TDs. He also added 39 yards and a TD on the ground.
QB Jayden Daniels struggled in the red zone in Sunday's game vs. the Giants. K Austin Seibert nailed seven FGs to get Washington the win, but Daniels finished without a TD. He played well enough otherwise. The rookie completed 23 of 29 passes (79%) for 226 yards (7.8 YPA) and no INTs, adding 44 more yards on 10 carries. The Giants clearly made it a point to limit Daniels' rushing after his huge Week 1. They kept him bottled up for the most part -- but Daniels still posted a nice rushing total thanks to four runs of 9+ yards.
Commanders HC Dan Quinn named QB Jayden Daniels the Week 1 starter. As expected. Daniels, 23, becomes the second rookie QB in franchise history to start the opener (Robert Griffin III).
