Commanders | Jayden Daniels in doubt for Week 8 Tue Oct 22, 09:41 AM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (ribs) is very much in doubt for Week 8 as the team plans to be extremely cautious with their franchise quarterback.
| Footballguys view: This according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, who added that even if Daniels is unable to play against the Bears, it is "not a major injury" and not something that will keep him out for multiple games. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn described Daniels as "week-to-week" but expressed hope that he could play against Chicago. Marcus Mariota, who performed well in Daniels' absence in Week 7, will start if Daniels can't go. |

Giants | Daniel Jones remains starter Mon Oct 21, 01:02 PM
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones will remain the starting quarterback, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Monday, Oct. 21.
| Footballguys view: After reviewing the film of Sunday's loss to the Eagles, Daboll reiterated what he said immediately after the game. The coach believes Jones gives the Giants their best chance to win, and the issues in Sunday's loss were collective, not solely on Jones. The Giants will play on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers next Monday night. |

Browns | MRI confirms Deshaun Watson's season over Mon Oct 21, 11:35 AM
Updating previous reports, Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) had an MRI confirm a torn Achilles Monday, Oct. 21.
| Footballguys view: Watson's season is over, but how long his recovery takes after Sunday's Achilles injury remains to be seen. According to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, Watson will undergo surgery soon. What's unclear is the nature of the surgery, with Watson considering both conventional surgery and a newer "speed bridge" procedure that can result in a faster return to action. That's the surgery Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had last season, and he was able to resume practicing faster than most players with Achilles tears. A faster recovery could give Watson a jump start on the offseason. Watson and the Browns will have plenty to work through between now and the time he's ready to return from this injury. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels update Mon Oct 21, 11:24 AM
Updating previous reports, Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels' (ribs) initial X-rays revealed no fractures to his ribs, and he's still undergoing further tests.
| Footballguys view: This is more confirming than updating, as it's the fourth report with the same news (including one on social media by Daniels' mother). And no apparent fractures is good, but the MRI will tell the whole story and we continue to await those results with a Week 8 tilt with Chicago on the horizon. |
Raiders | Aidan O'Connell out 4-6 weeks Mon Oct 21, 10:51 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with a broken thumb. He's seeking a second opinion Monday, Oct. 21.
| Footballguys view: NFL Network adds to this by reporting O'Connell will be placed on injured reserve with a chance to return later this season. Gardner Minshew filled in for O'Connell after his exit and will take over the starting reins in his absence. |
Commanders | Jayden Daniels set for tests on ribs Mon Oct 21, 04:06 AM
Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (ribs) is set to undergo more tests on Monday, Oct. 21, after suffering a rib injury during the team's blowout win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. Initial X-rays reportedly indicated that Daniels was OK, and his mother posted on social media that Daniels was 'fine.'
| Footballguys view: We'll continue to watch for more on this. Even with the reports indicating Daniels avoided serious injury, it's still not clear if he'll be available for the team's Week 8 matchup with the Chicago Bears. Stay tuned. |

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 22-for-25 for 280 yards and two touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7.

Giants | Awful afternoon for Daniel Jones Sun Oct 20, 05:05 PM
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones completed 14-of-21 passes for 99 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles, and he ran five time for just 20 yards, and he was sacked seven times. QB Drew Lock came on to finish up the blowout loss, completing 3-of-8 passes for six yards.
| Footballguys view: Jones was impotent despite the return of Malik Nabers. His line was getting beaten all day and leaving Jones hung out to dry for sacks. The Giants offense is unpredictable week-to-week, but it seems likely that they won't have much success against the Steelers next week. Jones is tough to trust in 1QB leagues even if you are desperate. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love went 24-for-33 for 220 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions against the Houston Texans in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Love is playing gunslinger right now. It's good for his fantasy value, but today it both won the game and kept the Texans in the game because of Love's interceptions. He'll face an easier matchup against the Jaguars next week. Love has arrived as a fantasy QB1. |

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (upper body) left the Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers due to an apparent mid-section injury, potentially to the ribs, and he walked off to the locker room. QB Marcus Mariota is in the game.
| Footballguys view: Early reports about his X-ray are positive, and the Commanders don't need him to win today over the woeful Panthers. That's no solace to fantasy teams that were relying on Daniels, but it sounds like there's at least a chance he'll be ready to play in a challenging matchup against the Bears next week. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud went 10-for-21 for 86 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7. He also rushed for 19 yards on five carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: The Texans almost won this game, but it wasn't because of Stroud. He's obviously missing Nico Collins and we need to give the Packers defense credit, but Stroud isn't the signature player in this offense right now, it's Joe Mixon. Stroud won't get Collins back for at least two more games, so he's not an automatic start, although the matchup is good against the Colts in a battle for first place next week. |

Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts completed 10-of-14 passes for 114 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 7 against the New York Giants, while posting seven runs, 22 yards and two touchdowns.
| Footballguys view: Hurts barely got his arm loose in this one but still was a good fantasy play because of the tush push. The Giants pass rush was formidable early, but the Eagles were able to lean on Saquon Barkley and the running game to move the ball for most of the afternoon. Hurts has a good matchup for fantasy next week at Cincinnati. |

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (undisclosed) was carted off the field after suffering an undisclosed injury during the Week 7 game.
| Footballguys view: It looks like a season-ending achilles injury and Watson has been ruled out. Dorian Thompson-Robertson was actually the backup today over Jameis Winston, but we're not sure the Browns will start Winston with a whole week to think about it heading into a matchup with Baltimore. The Browns passing game was already among the worst in the league, so this isn't that consequential for the value of the Cleveland tight ends and wide receivers. |

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye went 26-for-37 for 276 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. He also rushed for 18 yards on three carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Maye is going to be a solid weekly QB2/Superflex and spot start in 1QB leagues because the Patriots defense is going to give him a lot of big deficit garbage time to throw against prevent defenses. He'll have his toughest matchup yet against the Jets next week. |
