Who Should I Start? Will Levis or Jayden Daniels

Wednesday, October 23, 10:30 AM

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) is an unlikely candidate to suit up for the team's Week 8 road tilt against the Detroit Lions. The second-year QB picked up an AC joint sprain in Tennessee's Week 4 victory over the Miami Dolphins and was able to suit up in their Week 6 loss to the Colts. However, Levis reaggravated his injury in practice last week, opening the door for teammate Mason Rudolph to get the start in Week 7. While head coach Bill Callahan has already reported that the Kentucky alum will remain the team's starter when he's healthy, it's more probable he will return to action in Week 9. The former second-round pick is recovering from a Grade 2 sprain.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn told reporters on Wednesday that rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) will not practice after injuring his ribs in the Week 7 win over the Carolina Panthers. Backup Marcus Mariota will take first-team repetitions in practice, and it appears to be trending toward Mariota making the start in Week 8 against the visiting Chicago Bears. Daniels' injury doesn't appear to be very serious, but it doesn't mean that he'll start this weekend. The Commanders called the 23-year-old second overall pick week-to-week on Monday, so fantasy managers should have already made alternate plans in case he's ruled out this Sunday. If Daniels is out in Week 8, Washington's offense won't have nearly as much upside, while Mariota will be in play as a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.
