Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota will make his third start of the season on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect much production in a difficult matchup. Mariota has been serviceable in his limited action, completing 64.6% of his passes with a 3:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio, while adding some mobility outside the pocket. However, he now faces a Chiefs defense that ranks among the league's best, allowing the fifth-fewest yards per game and just 17.7 points per contest, good for third in the NFL. To make matters worse, Mariota could once again be operating without two of his top pass-catchers as Deebo Samuel (heel) and Terry McLaurin (quad) both remain questionable. With limited weapons and a brutal defensive matchup, Mariota lacks fantasy upside and should remain on the waiver wire in all formats outside of deep superflex leagues.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring), who suffered a low-grade hamstring strain on Sunday in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys, will not play on Monday night in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Veteran Marcus Mariota will make his third start of the season. Fantasy managers will have to go in another direction this week, but hopefully the second-year signal-caller can make it back to play in the Week 9 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. After a phenomenal rookie season in 2024 in which he nearly led the Commanders to the Super Bowl, the 24-year-old QB will now miss his third game of his second season due to an injury after previously sitting out Weeks 3 and 4 with a knee sprain. Mariota can still use his legs to pick up yards and could be getting both receivers Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) back from injuries, but he'll be a tough QB2 sell in fantasy against a stout Chiefs defense on the road.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has been a steady contributor this season, recording 23 catches for 229 yards and four touchdowns across seven games. Ertz's role has expanded over the last two weeks, as he's recorded nine catches for 80 yards and two scores on 13 targets. The Commanders are dealing with injuries to wide receivers Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel), Terry McLaurin (quad), and Noah Brown (groin, knee), which have aided Ertz's recent production. Washington will definitely be without Brown and could once again be without Samuel Sr. and McLaurin in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, so Ertz could be set for another game with a featured role. It's worth noting that all four of Ertz's touchdown catches this season have come in games started by Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring), whose status for Week 8 is unclear. Still, Ertz profiles as a high-floor low-end starting tight end option for fantasy managers in Week 8.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) hasn't practiced much at all in the last three weeks due to a bruised heel that kept him out for the Week 7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but it's looking like he might only miss one game. "The plan is to have full weeks of practice for them," head coach Dan Quinn said on SiriusXM's "Movin' The Chains" about Samuel and fellow wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps). Samuel carried Washington's offense in three of the games that McLaurin missed and is tied with tight end Zach Ertz with a team-high four touchdowns. He's the only receiver on the team with more than 10 catches through seven games, so a return on Monday night in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs would be huge. However, Samuel's fantasy upside will come down a bit when McLaurin returns, and the Commanders could be without quarterback Jayden Daniels in KC after he injured his hamstring on Sunday.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) hasn't played since Week 3, but it sounds as though he'll have a good chance to return on Monday night in Week 8 in a showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. "The plan is to have full weeks of practice for them," head coach Dan Quinn said on SiriusXM's "Movin' The Chains" about McLaurin and receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel). McLaurin has missed the last four games, but Washington has won three of those contests. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback in practice this week, it appears he's on track to make his return this week. McLaurin is typically a must-start for fantasy football purposes when active, but he'll be much more risky against a tough defense on the road if he's back in Week 8, especially if quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) is unable to play. It's also possible that the Commanders limit McLaurin's snap count in his first game back.
