Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Jayden Daniels

Sunday, November 23, 12:14 PM

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Baltimore Ravens will consider resting quarterback Lamar Jackson every Wednesday to keep him fresh for the rest of the 2025 season. Jackson missed a few games earlier this year with a hamstring injury and has missed the last two Wednesday practices due to minor ankle and knee injuries. The 28-year-old figures to be a non-participant on Monday, too, but he should be just fine for the Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals next Thursday (as long as he comes out of Week 12 without any injuries). Jackson hasn't looked the same on the ground this year, which has kept him from the elite tier of QB1 options in fantasy football. However, the two-time MVP is still a set-and-forget QB1 in fantasy football and could be primed for a bounce-back performance on Sunday against the visiting New York Jets.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) is considered a long shot to play on Sunday Night Football in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos after he was evaluated coming out of the team's bye week, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. However, Daniels has made progress from a dislocated left elbow and will return to practice this week. The 24-year-old second-year signal-caller suffered a gruesome dislocation of his left elbow back in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but luckily, he did not suffer any ligament damage or broken bones. Daniels probably won't play against Denver, but if he continues to make progress, he may be in consideration to start in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. After an impressive rookie season in which he led Washington to the NFC Championship game, Daniels hasn't been able to stay healthy in 2025, as he also missed several games earlier this year with a knee sprain.
