Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (5) warms up prior to the game against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.

Jayden Daniels missed his third game of the season last week after an abbreviated three-game return from a knee injury resulted in just a single win for the struggling Washington Commanders before Daniels tweaked a hamstring. But there's no doubt the Commanders are better off with their franchise signal-caller than without, which is why fans were hoping for some good news ahead of a big Sunday night showdown with the Seattle Seahawks.

Good news is what fans got Friday with the announcement that Daniels would be back after just a one-game absence against the Kansas City Chiefs. Daniels and the Commanders will be looking to end a three-game skid in Week 9.

Should I start Jayden Daniels in fantasy?

Yes. Daniels should always get the start when healthy, unless you have another elite fantasy quarterback option. Seattle's defense is middle of the road in terms of average fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks at 16.4, according to Pro-Football-Reference.

Who is Jayden Daniels' backup?

Marcus Mariota will move back into his backup role behind Daniels.
