Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin, knee) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Dec. 6.
| Footballguys view: Brown's speed can open things up for the Commanders downfield. With Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel healthy as well, Washington has their full complement of weapons on offense. Brown is a 'what the heck' flex in his first game back, but know he may be on a snap count in his first game back since Week 2. |

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin, knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is listed as questionable for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Brown hasn't played since Week 2 and is inching toward a return. If active this week, he's way too risky to start. However, Brown displayed a nice rapport with Jayden Daniels last year. He's worth a stash in very deep leagues, but having Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, and Zach Ertz ahead of him will likely limit his upside. |

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will start in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings.
| Footballguys view: What appeared to be a season-ending injury didn't even require an IR stint for Daniels, who will return after just three missed games. Daniels might reel back his rushing a bit in this game as he protects his injured elbow, but he can still be started as a back-end QB1 in fantasy. |
Washington Commanders DE Drake Jackson (groin, knee) and LB Bobby Wagner (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 4. OT George Fant (knee) was limited during practice. WR Noah Brown (groin, knee), QB Jayden Daniels (elbow), DT Javon Kinlaw (back), LB Frankie Luvu (shoulder) and LS Tyler Ott (back) fully participated in practice.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 4.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is trending in the right direction even though his team's season isn't going anywhere. It would be great to see him back in Week 14, but nothing is guaranteed with the second-year quarterback. Let's see what he does on Friday as the Commanders prepare for the Vikings on Sunday. |
Washington Commanders DE Drake Jackson (groin, knee) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list. S Darnell Savage was released.

QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) and LB Frankie Luvu (shoulder) were limited during practice. WR Noah Brown (groin, knee) and LS Tyler Ott (back) fully participated in practice.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is not yet cleared to return, but he's getting closer and may be out there in Week 14 against the Vikings. If he needs to miss another game, Marcus Mariota would get another start. Mariota played well against the Broncos on Sunday night, and he's a QB2 for Fantasy GMs if he gets the nod in Week 14. |

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) has not been cleared for contact at this point, and his availability for Week 14 will not be known until later in the week, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Link to storyWashington Commanders LB Bobby Wagner had a team-high eight tackles (three solo) and an interception against the Denver Broncos in Week 13.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz collected 10 catches for 106 yards versus the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Ertz was targeted 13 times.
| Footballguys view: Ertz made NFL history, moving past Shannon Sharpe on the all-time receptions list. Ertz entered the game with 814 career catches, needing just two to move past Sharpe's tally. By the end of the night, Ertz had his first 100-yard game of the 2025 season and his 12th career game with double-digit receptions. His performance placed him behind only Tony Gonzalez (1,325), Jason Witten (1,228), Travis Kelce (1,063), and Antonio Gates (995) among all-time tight ends. Ertz has quietly been TE8 on the season. He could help fantasy investors out down the stretch. |

Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel had five receptions (on seven targets) for 64 yards in a Week 13 loss to the Denver Broncos. He also ran twice for minus-three yards.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) was targeted a game-high 14 times in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, catching seven passes for 96 yards and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: As AtoZ Sports suggested, not having McLaurin healthy this season has been a major factor for the Commanders being 3-9, and we were reminded of that on Sunday night. McLaurin has missed eight total games with his quad injury and got back on the field like nothing ever happened. Most impressive, McLaurin caught 3 of 8 targets for 30 yards when covered by Pat Surtain II, with his final reception being an overtime touchdown. Surtain had not allowed a touchdown on his last 507 coverage snaps dating back to Week 13 of 2024. It's an encouraging return. |

Maguranyanga were elevated from the practice squad for the Week 13 game against the Denver Broncos. In an additional move, WR Ja'Corey Brooks (undisclosed) was placed on the practice squad injured list.

Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota will start Week 13's game against the Denver Broncos, as a result of QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) having been ruled out due to a dislocated left elbow.
| Footballguys view: Mariota gets to start on Sunday night against one of the league's best defenses. The Broncos get sacks in bunches, and Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain returns from a pec injury (that's kept him out since Week 8) this week. Add in what could be inclement weather (rain), and you can see why we've got Mariota as a low-end QB2 in Week 13. |

Washington Commanders quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard is leaving the team to become the new head coach at Stanford University.
Link to storyWashington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 28, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez has quietly emerged as the lead back in the mercurial Commanders' backfield. He cedes some passing-down work to Jeremy McNichols, which puts a ceiling on his upside. However, goal-line opportunities have gone his way recently, making him a touchdown-dependent RB3 against a stout Broncos defense. |
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited in practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Daniels still hasn't been cleared for contact, a major hurdle before he can even be considered for activation. He's expressed interest in returning this season, but the Commanders may prioritize keeping their franchise quarterback safe and healthy in what's clearly a lost season. |
Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin, knee, rest) and DE Drake Jackson (knee, groin) did not practice on Friday, Nov. 28, and have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) will be active for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: McLaurin will make his return after missing over a month, suiting up for just his second game since Week 3. It's been a brutal season for both McLaurin and the Commanders. Marcus Mariota is set to start this week, while Jayden Daniels is back at practice and aiming for a return in the next couple of weeks. If Daniels and McLaurin can get hot down the stretch, they could offer some sneaky late-season production for struggling fantasy managers. For this week, though, McLaurin is a risky WR4. |

'[I will] just continue to talk with the training staff, see what their plan is for the game. But I plan to play as much as I can -- and as much as they'll allow me to.'
| Footballguys view: McLaurin returns to the field in Week 13 against the Broncos. He's likely to see Pat Surtain, and that's a terrible matchup. McLaurin is a flex consideration with this matchup and what is forecast to be a rainy game. |
