Jayden Daniels returns for Commanders; Marcus Mariota expected to miss time

Jayden Daniels is set to return for the Washington Commanders against the New York Giants after recovering from a dislocated elbow. This week, Daniels practiced as a full participant, restoring his QB1 status in fantasy football. In contrast, Marcus Mariota is sidelined with an MCL injury, making him droppable in standard leagues. The return of Daniels enhances the fantasy prospects for key players like Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who can expect increased production with him back under center. The Commanders face the Giants in their Week 5 matchup.
