Commanders QB Jayden Daniels has "realistic possibility" of playing Week 14

Nov 26, 2025

Jayden Daniels' status is week-to-week, and while he's likely out for the Denver game Monday night, Week 14 is a realistic possibility. Daniels wants to play again this season. If he's medically cleared next week, starting vs. the Vikings on Dec. 7 is at least on the table. Shutting Daniels down has been a talking point the past few weeks, but that doesn't seem to be the team's plan at this point. Daniels is a young player who could use reps, and the injury was to his non-throwing elbow, so it shouldn't affect his long-term outlook, assuming he gets the green light.

Fantasy Impact:

Fowler also mentioned that both Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown are expected to return to practice soon, so this is all positive news from a fantasy perspective. Whenever Daniels is on the field, he is in high-end QB1 consideration

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy not expected to play Week 13

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy, who entered concussion protocol earlier this week, is not expected to play Sunday against the Seahawks, I’m told.

Related Players: Max Brosmer

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy looks like he will conveniently miss the Sam Darnold-Vikings matchup, which will showcase what Minnesota could have had if they kept the veteran. Instead, we'll get a Max Brosmer start, who should be left on waiver wires wherever possible.

Bills sign WR Brandin Cooks

It didn’t take veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks long to find his new team.

The Bills announced today that they have signed Cooks, a day after he cleared waivers.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooks negotiated with the Saints to gain his release, and the Bills were one of three teams people around the league identified as his potential destination (the Rams and Broncos were the other two), the story went on to say. The Bills are hoping the signing of Cook can give QB Josh Allen some needed help at the WR position as we head down the stretch of the regular season. While roster spots are tough to come by, Cooks could have some fantasy value eventually, and could be worth a stash, especially in deeper leagues.

'You'll find out Thursday' if Packers WR Jayden Reed plays

When asked whether Jayden Reed could play Thursday given the lack of practice time since his window opened last Friday, LaFleur said: "You never know... You'll find out Thursday."

Fantasy Impact:

Of course, fantasy owners will find out about an hour and a half before the kickoff. We'll hopefully have a better idea by Wednesday's practice report. Reed was limited last week and again today so there could be a chance he's able to log some snaps on Thanksgiving. He would be a risky fantasy play without a full workload.
