Fantasy Impact: A groin injury left Brown limited at practice on Wednesday. The same issue left him sidelined in Week 5, and it's unclear how likely he is to make his return in Week 6. His availability will depend on how he progresses at practice on Thursday and Friday.

Fantasy Impact: To no surprise, Ertz was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. It has been common for the Commanders to give him the first practice of the week off to rest and recover, so he should be available to play in Week 6 against the Ravens.

Austin Ekeler (heel) was limited at Washington's practice on Wednesday. (Source: Washington Commanders on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Ekeler is on Washington's injury report prior to Week 6 thanks to a heel injury. He was a limited participant, and it's not thought to be a serious issue for him. He should be available to play and will be in line for more work if Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is limited or out against the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: Robinson didn't take part in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury. It's the same issue that he was dealing with last week, and he was able to play through it in a limited fashion against the Browns. Fantasy managers should continue to keep tabs on his status throughout the rest of the week.

The Commanders D/ST allowed 13 points, 125 passing yards, and 104 rushing yards in a 34-13 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact: The Commanders' defense tallied seven sacks and one fumble recovery in the win over the Browns. The defense has played well this season, but they will face a tough test against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in Week 6.

Austin Seibert connected on 2-of-2 field goal attempts and all four of his extra point attempts in the Commanders 34-13 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact: Seibert drilled field goals from 27 and 30 yards out to help pace the Commanders to a victory. The 27-year-old is perfect on the season and remains a strong option for fantasy managers heading into a Week 6 matchup with the Ravens.

Dyami Brown caught 2-of-2 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders 34-13 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact: Brown connected with Jayden Daniels on a 41-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter to give the Commanders a 21 point lead. This was Brown's best day of the season so far, but is not enough consistent production to be fantasy relevant weekly.
Category: Game Recaps
Olamide Zaccheaus caught 1-of-3 targets for 10 yards in the Commanders 34-13 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact: Zaccheaus had a quiet day after recording six receptions in Week 4. Fantasy managers should comfortably leave the 27-year-old out of their lineups ahead of a matchup with Baltimore in Week 6.

Luke McCaffrey caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in the Commanders 34-13 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact: McCaffrey continues to make the most out of his targets, as he has caught all 10 of his targets for 98 yards through the first five games of the season. The rookie will have to carve out a larger role to be fantasy relevant weekly, but that could happen as he continues to build a rapport with rookie QB Jayden Daniels.

Terry McLaurin caught 4-of-8 targets for 112 yards in the Commanders 34-13 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact: McLaurin lead the team in receptions, yardage, and tied TE Zach Ertz in targets in the win over the Browns. The star wide receiver continues to produce with rookie QB Jayden Daniels at the helm. The Commanders and McLaurin will take on the Ravens in Week 6.

Jeremy McNichols rushed for 44 yards and one touchdown on seven carries in the Commanders 34-13 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact: McNichols found the endzone on a three-yard run in the third quarter to build the Commanders' lead. The 28-year-old is the third back in the rotation for the Commanders, leaving him with little fantasy value each week.
Category: Game Recaps
Jayden Daniels completed 14-of-25 passes for 238 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Commanders 34-13 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact: Daniels rushed for 82 yards on 11 carries in the win Sunday. The rookie quarterback continues to dazzle through his first five games of the season. Fantasy managers should feel confident in start Daniels in Week 6 against Baltimore.

Fantasy Impact: Mariota has not suited up for the Commanders this season due to a chest injury. He is expected to take over the backup QB duties from Jeff Driskel.

Fantasy Impact: Scharping was also with Bengals for two seasons. He brings starting experience to a banged up Steelers offensive line.

Commanders WR Jamison Crowder is officially inactive for a Week 4 matchup with Arizona.
Fantasy Impact: Crowder appeared on the injury report this week due to a calf injury and will not suit up. With just one reception on the season, fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire.

Emmanuel Forbes Jr. has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bengals. (Source: Ben Standig on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Forbes closed the week with back-to-back limited practices. He is likely on the favorable side of questionable.

Commanders pass rusher Jamin Davis will sit out for Week 2 against the Giants. The team elevated DE Carlos Watkins from the practice squad for Sunday. (Source: Nicki Jhabvala on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Davis, converted from LB to edge rusher this offseason, had impressed the team in his new role enough early on to stay on the 53-man roster. He will be inactive for today's divisional matchup, though.
