Jayden Daniels is a full go for the Washington Commanders, according to offensive coordinator David Blough.

What happened

When Blough was asked if there are any game plan limitations as Daniels returns from a left elbow issue, he said, “He’s full go,” via John Keim.

Context

Daniels is the Commanders’ QB1. Through two games in 2026, he has 32.4 PPR points, 260 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and 100 rushing yards. He has played 77 percent of snaps this season. In Week 1, he scored 17.7 PPR points with 164 passing yards and two touchdowns, and in Week 2, he had 14.7 PPR points with 96 passing yards and one touchdown. Sleeper projects him for 16.8 PPR points in Week 5.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Daniels’ full-go status means fantasy managers can start him with confidence. His rushing upside keeps him as a high-floor QB1. With 100 rushing yards in two games, his dual-threat ability provides a safe weekly floor.
