Who Should I Start? Jayden Daniels or RJ Harvey

Friday, October 17, 8:20 PM

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels could be without all three of his top wide receivers for Week 7's matchup at Dallas, with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) ruled out for the fourth straight game, Noah Brown (groin) placed on IR, and Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) listed as questionable. Daniels faced a similar situation last week against the Bears, as Samuel was clearly limited by the injury and less effective than usual, yet Daniels still delivered an excellent fantasy performance. The star QB threw three touchdowns and totaled 52 rushing yards on 10 carries, both his highest since Week 1. Now Daniels and the Washington offense head on the road to face a Dallas defense that has allowed the third-most points and the highest yards per pass attempt in the league. There should be plenty of points scored on both sides in this matchup, and Daniels will rank as one of the top QBs in fantasy for Week 7.

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey was able to earn a season-best 41% of snaps in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, this was due to replacing J.K. Dobbins for the majority of the 4th quarter in a blowout win. The rookie running back will look to carve out a role against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. While Harvey will increasingly develop confidence in the coaching staff and through his own experience on the field, it's likely that, barring an injury to Dobbins, he will continue to be a change-of-pace back in closer games. The explosive rookie is developing some standalone value as a flex starter. Still, Dobbins' strong performances might continue to hold him back from reaching his actual ceiling as a talented 2nd round pick. Harvey is considered a solid FLEX play and is currently RB34 in the latest RotoBaller Week 5 rankings.
