Daniel's dynasty's future is a wildcard. While he is an elite dual-threat quarterback who is the engine of the Commanders' offense, his running style and lack of size carry inherent risks. I can see someone wanting to cash in on his current dynasty value while targeting a safer, more durable, traditional pocket passer while keeping top-end production.

No timeline yet on Daniels' elbow; Williams 'week-to-week' with hamstring
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels and Bears QB Caleb Williams were both carted off with injuries on Sunday, and their coaches provided updates on Monday. Washington coach Dan Quinn said there is no timeline yet for Daniels, who dislocated his elbow in the loss to the Cowboys and will see specialists before a rehab plan is finalized. Chicago coach Ben Johnson said Williams is 'week-to-week' with a hamstring injury and is likely to miss time, though he avoided a major injury and has a shot to play in Week 3.

Daniels 'examining options' after elbow injury; Mariota to start Week 3
Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports reports that Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, a day after dislocating his left elbow during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, underwent imaging on Monday and will consult with multiple experts over the next few days, according to ESPN. The report also stated that Washington expects QB Marcus Mariota to start Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Daniels' injury occurred late in the first half when he was inadvertently stepped on by a teammate and tried to brace his fall with his left arm, which bent unnaturally, and he was carted off with an air cast. Commanders coach Dan Quinn said, "Man, are we bummed for him. I thought he was really playing his ass off, and we will rally so hard around Marcus [Mariota] until Jayden's back."
