Jayden Daniels has thrown three passing touchdowns through two 2026 games while completing 56.9 percent of passes for 260 yards and no interceptions, but a recurring left-elbow dislocation in Week 2 sidelined him for the next two contests. The Washington Commanders quarterback, who will wear a brace the rest of the season, returned to practice and is expected to start Week 5 against the Giants despite lingering questions about full health. His dual-threat profile and prior 25-touchdown rookie campaign provide a baseline, yet low passing volume, multiple receiver injuries, and the Commanders’ 1-3 record introduce uncertainty over a full 17-game slate. Trader pricing reflects these variables alongside schedule strength and offensive-line protection.
