Fantasy football Week 4 inactives: Jayden Daniels, Rachaad White, Terry McLaurin all out

This story was updated at 8:09 a.m. ET Saturday to reflect Terry McLaurin’s status change.

We get the first of the European games this week, when the Washington Commanders host the Indianapolis Colts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Naturally, the injury situation is pretty bleak.

Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels is still recovering from a dislocation of his non-throwing elbow and was ruled out earlier in the week. Running back Rachaad White will also miss the game with a shoulder issue. With Daniels out, veteran backup QB Marcus Mariota gets another week at the controls of the Commanders’ offense, coming off a three-touchdown performance against Seattle.

Mariota’s receiving corps, however, is not entirely healthy. The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala reported that star receiver Terry McLaurin tweaked a hamstring on Friday and wasn’t expected to face the Colts, a brutal development. He was ruled out Sunday morning and now receivers Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams should see increased usage, as should tight end Chig Okonkwo in his return from injury.

Hopefully fantasy managers have learned the lesson of the Jaylen Warren Dublin debacle of 2025 and took preventative measures before kickoff.

As for Indianapolis, things aren’t so complicated. Wide receiver Keenan Allen has been ruled out with a groin injury. Blast-from-the-past receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was elevated from the practice squad, but he’s not yet on the fantasy radar. With Allen sidelined, we’re likely to see the passing offense further consolidate around WR Josh Downs and TE Tyler Warren. Last week, Downs, Warren and Allen combined to see 30 of Daniel Jones’ 35 pass attempts.
