Who Should I Start? C.J. Stroud or Jayden Daniels

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) will miss Thursday night's matchup against the Buffalo Bills, but is expected to return in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Stroud won't be able to suit up with a short week of preparation, but the extra time off will ensure that the 24-year-old will be cleared and ready to roll for a big divisional matchup against the Colts in Week 13. Backup Davis Mills will make his third straight start, and he's been solid in Stroud's absence, completing 60% of his passes for 726 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Mills is only worth starter consideration in superflex leagues for Week 12.

NBC Sports' JP Finaly reports that Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will not travel with the team to Madrid to take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 this Sunday. Although Daniels' left-elbow dislocation isn't as serious as initially feared, he will miss a second straight game this weekend and will be re-evaluated after the team's Week 12 bye. The 24-year-old has not been placed on Injured Reserve, but the Commanders are still trying to determine if the second-year signal-caller will be able to play again this year after injuring his elbow in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is that Daniels won't need surgery, and he didn't suffer any ligament damage to his non-throwing arm. Fantasy managers should consider him a long shot to make his return in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, and Daniels' availability the rest of the way could be determined by the team's standings in the NFC.
