Jayden Daniels rushes for 50 yards before injury
Jayden Daniels completed both of his passes for 6 yards and ran for 50 yards on three carries before suffering a rib injury in Washington’s blowout win over Carolina on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
If nothing else, his rushing stats helped save what would have otherwise been a goose egg for fantasy managers who started him. Hopefully, Daniels’ injury is just a minor one and he can return to action soon.
