The Seattle Seahawks faced a significant setback in their playoff hopes after losing to the Green Bay Packers, compounded by a knee injury to quarterback Geno Smith. Smith went down in the third quarter after a hit from linebacker Edgerrin Cooper. Although initial assessments suggest his knee is structurally intact, his availability for the upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings remains uncertain.

The Washington Commanders are focusing on protecting their new quarterback, Jayden Daniels, after a disappointing season that saw them allow a franchise-record 65 sacks. With a rebuilt offensive line and a new offensive scheme under Kliff Kingsbury, the team aims to improve their pass protection and overall offensive efficiency. Coaches believe that Daniels' quick decision-making and mobility will alleviate some of the issues faced by the team last season, particularly those related to slow decision-making and play-calling. However, injuries and absences in the offensive line have created challenges during the preseason.

Commanders QB Jacoby Brissett is inactive for today’s game vs. the 49ers. QB Sam Howell will be back under center but would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups after getting benched the past two weeks.

Commanders QB Jacoby Brissett is unlikely to play against the 49ers due to a hamstring injury. The team will evaluate his condition during pre-game warmups before making a final decision.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jacoby Brissett is questionable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a hamstring injury suffered in practice. If Brissett is unable to play, Sam Howell will start in his place. Brissett has been effective in his two games as the starter, completing 78.3 percent of his passes for 224 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Howell, on the other hand, has thrown 19 touchdown passes but also has an NFL-high 17 interceptions this season.

Jacoby Brissett, quarterback for the Commanders, injured his hamstring in practice and is now questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers. If Brissett is unable to play, Sam Howell will start in his place. Howell has struggled in his past three games, with low passing yardage and being pulled in the last two games. This could have a negative impact on the fantasy value of Washington pass-catchers if Brissett is unable to start.

Commanders QB Sam Howell was benched in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Rams. He went 11 of 26 for 102 yards, one TD, and one INT, producing just seven points. QB Jacoby Brissett will finish this one out for Washington. We're guessing that Howell will be back under center next week -- but he gets brutal matchups the next two weeks vs. the Jets and 49ers. You should be looking for an alternative if you've been rolling with Howell as your fantasy starter.

Defensive tackle Aaron Donald has been downgraded to questionable for the Los Angeles Rams' Week 15 game against the Washington Commanders due to groin tightness. Donald did not practice on Friday, but his absence was listed on the Rams' injury report as a rest day. Donald has not missed a game this season and has six sacks, 43 tackles and two passes defensed. He leads defensive tackles this season in ESPN's Pass Rush Win Rate (22%). On Sunday, the Rams will face Commanders quarterback Sam Howell, who leads the NFL in sacks taken this season.

Sam Howell had a tough game, completing 12 of 23 passes for 127 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Commanders' loss to the Dolphins.

He was sacked 3 times and faced consistent pressure throughout the game. However, Howell saved his fantasy line by rushing for both of the team's touchdowns and connecting with TE Logan Thomas for a 2-point conversion. While his rushing ability is a positive factor for his fantasy outlook, his passing yardage and attempts were season lows. After a Week 14 bye, Howell faces a challenging closing schedule with tough matchups against the Rams, Jets, and 49ers.

After the Washington Commanders' 45-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, speculation arose about the job security of head coach Ron Rivera and his staff.

The defense forced three fourth-down stops in the second half. DaRon Bland set an NFL record with his fifth pick-six of the season. The Cowboys maintained their chase of the Philadelphia Eagles and have a chance to prove themselves as Super Bowl contenders in their upcoming games against the Seattle Seahawks, Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and Detroit Lions.

Sam Howell, quarterback for the Washington Commanders, threw for 300 yards and an interception in a 45-10 loss to the Cowboys.
