Who Should I Start? Josh Johnson or Jayden Daniels

Saturday, August 9, 9:49 AM

Well-traveled Washington Commanders quarterback Josh Johnson completed 15 of 22 passes for a game-high 173 yards with one touchdown and an interception on Friday against the New England Patriots. Jayden Daniels is the no-doubt starter for Washington with Marcus Mariota also in the fold as the likely backup, leaving Johnson and Sam Hartman competing for the third spot. Hartman struggled while the 38-year-old Johnson proved to be the more effective of the two, at least in the opener. Washington will next take on Cincinnati on Aug. 18.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) will start on Sunday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks after missing last week. Daniels practiced in full every day this week and will only end up missing one game this time because of a right hamstring injury after missing two games earlier in the season due to a left knee injury. The second-year QB will be without his top wideout, Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) again as he re-aggravated the injury that caused him to miss the four previous games during Washington's Week 8 loss at Kansas City. In his Week 5 return against the Chargers, Daniels completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 231 yards and a touchdown while adding eight rushes for 39 yards on the ground. Daniels faces a tough Seattle defense that is set to get top cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee) back on Sunday Night Football. He currently ranks as the QB9 in points per game and is listed as RotoBaller's QB8 for Week 9.
