Jayden Daniels injury affects Commanders' receivers ahead of Seahawks game
Summary

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will not play in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks due to a dislocated elbow. Although he won't require surgery and is not on injured reserve, Daniels' absence limits the fantasy potential of wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs. McLaurin is struggling, ranking WR79 in fantasy points per game, with low catch rates despite a significant target share. Conversely, Diggs has performed well, ranking WR11 and leading the team in targets and red-zone shares, but his fantasy viability is now more dependent on matchups as Daniels recovers.
