PFM Fantasy Outlook

Jayden Daniels has not played since dislocating his left elbow in Week 2. Washington kept him off injured reserve because a relatively quick return remains possible, but he also missed Week 4 against Indianapolis and remains in a week-to-week recovery window. His two-game production stands at 260 passing yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, plus 100 rushing yards.

PFM has Daniels QB19 for the rest of the season. The ranking still respects what his legs can do once he returns, but there is no reason to force that upside into a weekly projection before Washington clears him. The rushing production is especially important because an elbow injury does not directly remove the part of his game that can rescue ordinary passing days. Still, availability comes first. Daniels becomes actionable again when practice participation advances and Washington is comfortable exposing the elbow to contact.
