Washington Commanders DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be set up well for a bounce-back showing against the Dallas Cowboys this weekend. Over his past two games, Daniels has posted the two lowest fantasy scores of his standout rookie season. During this stretch, Daniels has tallied just one score and averaged a mere 196.5 passing yards per game. However, before this, Daniels scored at least 20.0+ PPR points in all but one contest this season. Removing his Week 7 game, where he left early, Daniels has averaged a strong 25.3 PPR points per game during Weeks 3 through 9 and scored 11 total touchdowns during this span. Facing a Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the 28th-most PPR points to opposing QBs sets the LSU product up for a great "get-right" matchup, making him a solid QB1.

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) is "trending in the right way," according to head coach Dan Quinn. The 28-year-old has been sidelined over the past two weeks with a hip injury but is shaping up to have a good chance to return to action this weekend. This week, Seibert remained a limited participant during practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's session as it may provide clarity on his availability. In his absence, Zane Gonzalez took over starting duties. Before this injury, Seibert was enjoying a nice breakout campaign as he went 25-for-27 on attempts and a perfect 27-for-27 on extra points. If he can return to action on Sunday, fantasy managers should view him as a high-end option in all formats, as he is facing a struggling Dallas defense.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz was back on the practice field as a full participant during Thursday's session. The veteran tight end missed Wednesday's practice for rest purposes, but is back to being a full participant now. Fellow tight end Ben Sinnott (illness) also missed Wednesday's practice, but joined Ertz for a full session on Thursday. Both tight ends figure to have a full workload during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Ertz is coming off a game where he hauled in six of his seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He has been quiet for a few weeks before that game, but hopefully that is a sign of good things to come for the veteran tight end.

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (illness) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. This is good news after Sinnott was a limited participant on Wednesday due to a minor illness. The fact that he's back to being full in practice means he should be good to go for the Week 12 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Sinnott has one reception for 12 yards over his last four games. The Commanders selected Sinnott in the second-round of this year's draft, but the 22-year-old hasn't seen a significant role in the passing game this season. Fantasy managers should hold Sinnott in dynasty formats, but there's little reason to roster him otherwise.

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert (hip) continued to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status on Friday as it will likely clarify his availability heading into a divisional tilt against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. Seibert has been sidelined with this injury over the past two games. In his absence, Zane Gonzalez has taken starting duties. Before the injury, Seibert was enjoying a breakout campaign in the DMV. Since joining the Commanders in Week 2, Seibert has carried a stellar 92.6% rate on attempts and has gone perfect on extra points. If Seibert can return to action this weekend, fantasy managers should view him as a high-end kicking option facing a struggling Dallas defense.
