Daniels' injury scare for the Commanders eased after MRI findings pointed to soreness, not a structural setback. Insiders peg him day-to-day with a chance to practice in some capacity, and Washington will take a cautious approach to any return. For fantasy managers, Daniels remains a high-ceiling option if cleared, but expect a cautious ramp and potential limited work early in the week as updates roll in.

MRI data and expert takes frame the situation as hurt more than injured, with pain tolerance and swelling shaping his timeline. If he’s on the field next week, the upside stays elite; if not, Washington will lean on the next-best options while monitoring mobility and practice reports closely.

Washington's defensive line overwhelmed Green Bay with interior push and relentless edge pressure, stifling the Packers and sparking a Week 3 betting move that has the Commanders as favorites to host Las Vegas. That frontline performance flags a potential fantasy upside for Washington DLs, as sacks and disruption could become a reliable source of points in DFS and season-long formats.

Looking ahead, the Raiders game presents a test of whether Washington can sustain pressure and translate it into consistent defensive production. If the front seven maintains discipline and continues to win at the point of attack, fantasy managers should bias toward Washington linemen and linebackers who benefit from high-pressure games and short-yardage situations.
