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

This story was updated at 8:09 am 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 quite bleak.

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

However, Mariota’s receiving corps is not completely healthy. The AthleticNicki Jhabvala reports that star receiver Terry McLaurin tweaked a hamstring on Friday and was not expected to face the Colts, a brutal development. He was ruled on Sunday morning and is now receivers Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams should see increased usage, as should tight ends Chig Okonkwo on his return from injury.

Hopefully fantasy managers learned the lesson of the Jaylen Warren Dublin debacle in 2025 and took preventative measures before it started.

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