Daniels returned from a knee injury to spark Washington in a 27-10 win at SoFi Stadium, showcasing his dual-threat prowess with 231 passing yards, a TD, and 39 rushing yards while steering a late, decisive drive. The Commanders erased a 10-0 deficit behind a breakout day from Jacory Croskey-Merritt (111 rushing yards, 2 TDs) and a 96-yard receiving effort from Deebo Samuel, as Quan Martin forced a pivotal second-quarter fumble. Washington’s defense complemented the surge as Dan Quinn praised Daniels’ decision-making and relentless competition.

The victory, Washington’s first at SoFi Stadium, underscored Daniels’ game-changing potential and the offense’s growing depth, even as Marcus Mariota provided earlier support. The win over the Chargers highlighted a shift toward complimentary football and situational execution that fantasy managers will want to monitor as Daniels chemistry with receivers and the running-back duo evolves ahead of a favorable slate.
