Washington Commanders Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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 RB Brian Robinson rushed 16 times for 103 yards and 1 score in Sunday's win over Tennessee. A week after suffering an ankle injury, Robinson looked 100% against the Titans.

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 WR Noah Brown is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Titans with a rib injury. Washington is up 35-13 early in the fourth quarter, so we doubt we'll see Brown again. He caught three of four targets for 27 yards before exiting.

The Commanders placed RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) on IR, knocking him out for at least the next four games. Washington has a Week 14 bye, so we won't see Ekeler again until Week 18 at the earliest. He can be dropped from all redraft rosters. Jeremy McNichols will slide in as the Commanders' No. 2 RB with Ekeler out, but we could also see RB Brian Robinson get more work in the passing game.

Commanders WR Noah Brown (knee) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He was sidelined on Thursday but returned to a full practice on Friday. Brown should be ready for his usual role against the Titans on Sunday. He’s surprisingly out-targeted WR Terry McLaurin 33 to 25 over the last five games.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. He'll play vs. the Titans this weekend -- and it looks like he'll be ready for a significant role. RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) has been ruled out. That figures to leave Jeremy McNichols as the No. 2 RB, but he'd be a desperation fantasy start.

Commanders WR Noah Brown (knee) did not practice on Thursday. He wasn't on the injury report on Wednesday, so it's unclear when the knee issue popped up. We'll see if Brown practices on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Titans.

Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's unlikely to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. RB Brian Robinson (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday, though, giving him a chance to play on Sunday. We'll keep you updated on this backfield over the next few days. RBs Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez would handle backfield duties if Ekeler and Robinson are out.

The Commanders placed K Austin Seibert (hamstring) on IR. Seibert returned from a two-game absence last week and missed two XPs and one FG in Washington's loss to the Cowboys. The team will likely turn back to K Zane Gonzalez, who made all three of his FGs and all four of his XPs in those two games Seibert missed.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin racked up 102 yards and a TD on 5 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Most of that came on a single play late in the fourth quarter, though. McLaurin caught a pass with 33 seconds left and took it to the end zone from 86 yards out. That means his other 4 catches totaled just 16 yards.

Commanders WR Noah Brown drew a team-high 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He caught six for 71 yards, setting personal season highs in all three categories.

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 RB Austin Ekeler sustained an apparent concussion on a kick return with less than 15 seconds to go in Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He appeared to be unconscious on the field but eventually made his way off with assistance. This would be Ekeler's third documented concussion.

Update: HC Dan Quinn confirmed that Ekeler is in concussion protocol.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson injured his right leg on his first carry of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He got rolled up on badly but was able to hobble off the field under his own power. We'll update his status when we learn more.

Update: Robinson is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury.

Update: Robinson returned on Washington's next possession.

Update: Robinson was deemed questionable to return at halftime.

Commanders K Austin Seibert (hip) has been removed from the injury report and will play vs. the Cowboys on Sunday. Seibert still leads all kickers in fantasy points per game in most scoring systems. He's a strong Week 12 start with Washington rocking a 27.75-point implied total.

Commanders K Austin Seibert (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cowboys. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice, so we’re expecting him to play. Seibert is a nice fantasy option with Washington sporting a 27.75-point implied total.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin caught just one pass for 10 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Eagles. He was invisible for most of the night, drawing just two targets on 32 Jayden Daniels pass attempts. The first fell incomplete on a crosser in the third quarter. McLaurin finally got on the board with a 10-yard grab in the fourth quarter.

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 K Austin Seibert (hip) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Eagles. Zane Gonzalez will kick for Washington again. He nailed both of his FGs and all three XPs last week but is a middling Week 11 fantasy option with the Commanders 3.5-point underdogs to Philadelphia.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He was upgraded to full participation in Wednesday's practice after being limited on Tuesday. Robinson figures to step back in as Washington's lead early-down back vs. the Eagles on Thursday night. It's a tough spot, though, with the Commanders 3.5-point underdogs against the league's second-ranked RB defense.
