Daniels returned in his hometown with 231 passing yards, a rushing score, and a 39-yard rushing total as Washington beat the Chargers 27-10. He guided a late 99-yard drive capped by an 8-yard TD to Deebo Samuel, while navigating a brace and 39% pressure. With McLaurin and Noah Brown out, Daniels showed multi‑dimensional playmaking and poise on third and fourth downs to spark the offense.

Offensive spark came from Daniels’ improv and decisive decisions, backed by Kingsbury’s play-calling and a defense that kept pressure on Los Angeles. The win offered a blueprint: Daniels stays healthy, Washington rides the run-pass mix, and Samuel and McCaffrey become consistent weapons as the team navigates a tricky injury landscape.

Washington’s 27-10 road win over Los Angeles injects life into the Commanders’ offense as Jayden Daniels returned from a knee injury to throw for 231 yards and a TD while Washington rolled up 163 rushing yards against the league’s 3rd-ranked defense. Momentum swung on Quentin Johnston’s second-quarter fumble, triggering a 9-play, 74-yard drive that narrowed the gap to 10-7 before Washington’s 27-point burst. Fantasy takeaways center on Daniels’ return, with Moore and Ertz as ancillary options and Johnston as a high-variance swing play.

Washington erased a 10-point deficit to stun the Chargers 27-10, paced by Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s two rushing TDs and a late Jennings Daniels drive after returning from a knee injury. A decisive second-quarter fumble recovery sparked the surge, while Los Angeles’ offense struggled with penalties and a rebuilt line, allowing four Herbert sacks and limited yardage.

Fantasy angles tilt toward Croskey-Merritt as a red-zone contributor, Daniels’ late-season upside after the return, and the Chargers’ offensive line woes creating risk for Herbert. Washington faces Chicago next, while LA heads to Miami in a tough cross-country test.
