Washington

Commanders

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said the team would evaluate Seibert at the end of the week to see if he can suit up for Week 11 against the Cowboys after missing Week 10. Seibert has been among the league’s best kickers in 2024, making 25 of 27 field goal tries and all 22 of his extra points. Zane Gonzalez would get another start for Washington if Seibert remains sidelined. Both kickers make for good fantasy options against Dallas.

Quinn blamed Daniels’ recent struggles on him missing “a lot of practice that impacted the offense” while recovering from his injury, which he suffered in Week 7. Per the team’s injury reports, Daniels was a DNP in two of three practices leading up to Week 8 and has been listed as a limited/full participant on every injury report since then. Daniels wasn’t listed on the injury report at all ahead of Weeks 10 or 11. Daniels can be seen during games receiving treatment on the sidelines for what appears to be the same rib injury he suffered over a month ago. Whether his struggles are as a result of that injury or not is anybody’s guess, but the Commanders have continuously downplayed whatever injury he does/does not have. Daniels will be a high-end QB1 in Week 12 when he faces the Cowboys.

Ertz scored a touchdown with less than a minute left that meant (essentially) nothing to the outcome but certainly helped fantasy managers. He also added a terrific catch on a two-point conversion where the 34-year-old showed he can still play with the young folks. The touchdown was just the second of the year, but based on the last two weeks, it appears he’s becoming a more important part of the Washington offense. He’s a TE2 against the Cowboys in Week 12.

McLaurin did not haul in his lone reception until the fourth quarter. His two targets tonight were one less than John Bates. This was obviously the worst game of the season for the 29-year-old, but it’s worth pointing out that this is now two-of-three weeks he’s caught fewer than two passes. This Washington passing game certainly has upside with Jayden Daniels, but the floor is pretty scary. No pun intended. McLaurin remains a WR2 against the Cowboys for Week 11, but there’s more risk than anticipated.

Ekeler was Jayden Daniels’ top target on a night where the Commanders couldn’t push the ball downfield. He also ran twice for seven yards. The eight catches are double his season high, but fantasy managers are well aware that the 29-year-old is capable of helping in the passing game. He’s a volatile RB2 for Week 12 against the Cowboys.

Robinson looked fine after missing the previous two weeks with a hamstring injury; particularly on an 18-yard touchdown run up the middle. There wasn’t much more in terms of big plays and he added just one catch for nine yards, but all things considered a (relatively) successful return for the 25-year-old tailback. Robinson will hope to find more rushing room in Week 12 against the Cowboys.

Daniels was seen on the sideline dealing with a cut on his throwing hand, and it’s possible it had an effect on his ability to get the ball down field. It certainly didn’t help, anyway. The speedy signal-caller added just 18 yards on the ground on his seven attempts. He flat-out couldn’t get the ball to the Washington wideouts; almost literally with just four receptions by the Commanders’ wide receivers and just one of those in the first half. Daniels did deal with pressure, but no matter the reason, this was a disappointing effort. He and the Commanders will take on the Cowboys in Week 12.

Rodriguez was solid in the win over the Giants in Week 9, but wasn’t involved in the offense in Week 10 against the Steelers with just two carries for four yards. Driskel will be the emergency third quarterback for Thursday’s contest.

Robinson missed the past two weeks while nursing the hamstring issue. He was upgraded to a full practice on Wednesday before being cleared for action. Robinson had parlayed his two-down role on one of the league’s best offenses into a weekly RB2 ranking before suffering the hamstring issue. Now he gets a potential shootout with the Eagles. His fantasy output may be a bit more dependent on touchdowns than usual this week, but fantasy managers can fire him up as an RB2 once again.

Zane Gonzalez will draw the start for Washington once again. Gonzalez was perfect on two field goal tries and three PAT attempts last week. Kicking behind an elite Washington offense, Gonzalez is a top-12 kicker for Week 11.
