Daniel Jones vs. Cowboys — Shootout Potential Amid Looming Job Scrutiny
Head coach Shane Steichen reaffirmed that Jones will remain the starter for Week 9, despite persistent trade chatter and recent benching speculation after a rough two-game stretch with three interceptions. While rumors continue to swirl ahead of the trade deadline, Jones maintains control of the offense with Anthony Richardson Sr. waiting in the wings.
Despite his recent struggles and low roster trust, Jones finds himself in a favorable game script as a 4.5-point home underdog in a projected high-scoring matchup with Dallas. Our models project him for around 260 passing yards and 15.3 fantasy points, but his ball-security issues keep him strictly on fantasy benches in standard 1-QB formats.

Stefon Diggs vs. Rams — Expanded Role in a High-Scoring Matchup
Completely removed from the injury report and managing his workload with scheduled veteran rest days, Stefon Diggs steps into an undeniable leadership role for Washington's receiving corps. With teammates Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks ruled out, Diggs should dominate target volume out of the slot.
Our projections anticipate roughly four receptions for 39 yards alongside strong red-zone upside (0.6 projected touchdowns) against the Rams. Sitting as 4.5-point home underdogs in a contest with elevated scoring potential, game script should favor Washington throwing frequently, making Diggs a reliable WR2 starter in all formats.
