Jeremy McNichols

After managing just 19 yards in the Commanders' Week 9 win over the Giants, McLaurin got back on track against the Steelers. The veteran receiver led the Commanders with 113 receiving yards, with 70 of those yards coming on the first drive of the second half. McLaurin kicked off the drive with a 54-yard reception and later hauled in a 16-yard pass to set Jeremy McNichols up for a one-yard touchdown run. McLaurin has had 53 or more yards in five of his last six games and has gone for 98-plus in four of those games. He'll be a high-end WR2 in Week 11 against the Eagles.

Daniels was under fire all afternoon and turned in one of his worst starts of the season. His fantasy day may have looked a little better if not for three one-yard touchdowns by Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols, but Daniels won't be exciting his managers with this performance. The runaway Rookie of the Year didn't turn the ball over in this one, but he completed just 50 percent of his passes and was off-target on several throws against a stout Steelers defense. He was also held to just five rushing yards on three carries. Daniels and the Commanders are on a short week as they now prepare for a pivotal Thursday night matchup against the Eagles. He'll remain a high-upside QB1 in the NFC East battle.

Missed practice on Friday Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. was ruled out for Week 10 vs. the Steelers. (Adam Schefter on X) FF Today's Take: Robinson was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday then sat on Friday before being ruled Out for Week 10. With Robinson out last week, the Commanders used three running backs including Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. Ekeler will work as the lead back but all three should get touches capping their upside.

Robinson practiced in a limited capacity through all three practices last week before ultimately being ruled out. He's remained limited in both Week 10 practices, giving us little to go on at this time. Austin Ekeler (3.1 YPC) and Chris Rodriguez Jr. (4.7 YPC) each totaled 11 carries last week, with Jeremy McNichols (2.1 YPC) handling eight more. Ekeler (five targets) was the only player to receive passing game touches. If Robinson is sidelined, McNichols' recent inefficiency could shrink the backfield to a two-player show.

Commanders RB Austin Ekeler did garner a season-high 11 carries with Brian Robinson Jr. inactive for Sunday's win over the Giants. But that merely tied Chris Rodriguez for the team lead, as the team split 30 RB carries among three players. Jeremy McNichols took the other 8 carries and ran 11 pass routes to Ekeler's 13, according to Pro Football Focus.
