Marcus Mariota - Will start final three games Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Jayden Daniels (elbow) will not start any of Washington's final three regular-season games, leaving Mariota in position as QB1, JP...
Impact Mariota will close out the 2025 campaign under center for the Commandeers, while Josh Johnson works as the team's No. 2 quarterback. The veteran signal-caller completed 10 of just 19 pass attempts for 211 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's divisional win over the Giants, while also rushing 10 times for 43 yards. Mariota also fumbled twice versus New York, losing one. Next on deck for Mariota and Washington will be a home matchup against the Eagles on Saturday, after which the team will have a short preparation window before taking on the Cowboys on Thursday Night Football in Week 17. Mariota's last game of the season will be Week 18 road rematch against Philadelphia.

Jayden Daniels - Officially done for the season Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Daniels (elbow) is being shut down for the team's final three regular-season games, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports...
Impact Quinn said the decision is "part medical, part team," and that Daniels will still practice once cleared to do so. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports, however, that upon being medically re-evaluated Monday, the second-year quarterback was not yet cleared for contact. After an outstanding rookie campaign in 2024, Daniels now concludes Year 2 with just seven regular-season appearances, in which he completed 114 of 188 pass attempts for 1,262 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. He also rushed 58 times for 278 yards and two scores. Marcus Mariota will remain Washington's starting QB for the rest of the year, beginning Saturday against the Eagles.

Daniel Bellinger - Nets uptick in production Week 15 Bellinger finished Sunday's loss to the Commanders with three catches for 35 yards on four targets.
Impact Bellinger and No. 1 tight end Theo Johnson had the same amount of targets (four) and catches (three), though Johnson more than doubled Bellinger's yardage with a team-leading 72. Coming into Sunday, Bellinger had gone three games without a reception and had combined for just two catches for 29 yards over his previous five contests. Ironically, the fourth-year tight end's increase in production against Washington came on a day when he posted his lowest offensive snap share (26 percent) since Week 3. Given his recent lack of production and clear backup role behind Johnson, Bellinger's improved stat line Sunday doesn't need to put him on the fantasy radar in most formats.
