Jayden Daniels limited in London; Commanders targeting Friday decision

Sep 30, 2026

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said QB Jayden Daniels will be limited in practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Daniels’ limited designation is encouraging for his broader recovery, but Wednesday’s walkthrough offered little evidence that he is ready to play. Thursday and Friday will provide more meaningful tests of his elbow and ability to operate while wearing the brace. Mariota remains the appropriate Week 4 placeholder, though Daniels’ return would raise the ceilings of McLaurin, Diggs and the entire Washington offense.

Broncos say WR Jaylen Waddle 'fine' after video in walking boot

Jaylen Waddle is okay, talking to multiple sources over the course of the last 48 hours.

If there was any player the Broncos would take extra caution with, it’s Waddle.

Additionally, according to a source, “there’s nothing wrong” with Jaylen.

Fantasy Impact:

There was a video that appeared to be Waddle in a walking boot, but he seems to be good to go for Week 4. Other reports say Waddle was spotted limping during the game against the Rams. If he was in a boot, it appears it was precautionary. Be sure to monitor practice statuses this week just in case.

Jaguars Beat: WR Brian Thomas Jr., team going in different directions

yesterday · 4:27 PM EDT

For as talented as Brian Thomas is, Sunday's game proved once and for all that the Jaguars and Thomas are going in different directions, and a change must be made sooner than later.

Related players: Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, Josh Cameron

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Thomas only played 23 snaps and ran 13 routes against the Patriots in Week 3. This can not be merely excused away as the Jaguars getting up on the Patriots early, either, since Meyers and Washington each played 50 snaps and ran 27 and 28 routes, respectively, the story said. The story added that at the same time, Jaguars sixth-round rookie receiver Cameron played 23 snaps - the same as Thomas - and saw more targets despite running five fewer routes. The article sums this up nicely, it seems Thomas' time in Jacksonville is coming to an end, but the team should make a move sooner than later before he loses value. Thomas can't really be trusted in fantasy lineups right now. For those in deeper leagues, Cameron may be worth a pickup if you can afford to stash him. The story said Thomas is trending to become the team's fourth WR at this point.
