Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Jayden Daniels

Wednesday, November 12, 3:36 PM

ESPN's Ben Baby reports that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is taking part in the portion of practice on Wednesday that is open to the media. It was an unpadded practice for the Bengals, and Burrow threw passes in sweatpants and a helmet. The Bengals opened their 21-day practice window on Monday, and the 28-year-old signal-caller is eyeing a potential return for the Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in three weeks. He will officially be listed as limited on Wednesday. Whether the former first overall pick actually plays in three weeks on Turkey Day will depend on how much progress he makes and the team's record at that point. Cincy isn't going to rush the face of the franchise back if their chances of making the postseason are slim. Still, fantasy managers should be looking to pick Burrow up and stash him if he's available on the waiver wire.

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.
