Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders were stopped on a critical fourth down in the fourth quarter of their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles

Zach Ertz - Another solid showing in lossErtz secured six of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown and added a two-point conversion catch in the Commanders' 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night.

ImpactErtz finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Austin Ekeler for the Commanders on the night. The veteran tight end was also on the receiving end of Jayden Daniels' only touchdown pass of the night, a five-yard scoring grab with 28 seconds remaining that capped off a 15-play, 70-yard march. Ertz followed it up with an impressively difficult two-point conversion catch where he just managed to get two feet inbounds as he fell out of the back of the end zone, and he now has five tallies of at least four catches in five of his last six games. The steady veteran figures to remain a key target for Daniels during a Week 12 home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Terry McLaurin - Limited to one catch in lossMcLaurin secured one of two targets for 10 yards in the Commanders' 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night.

ImpactMcLaurin was one of six Commanders players to record only one catch on a night where Jayden Daniels spread the ball around to nine different targets. The veteran wideout's reception and yardage totals were both season lows, but it was far from McLaurin's only low-output game. The 2019 third-round pick has recorded 22 or fewer yards on four different occasions this season, which he's offset with a quartet of 100-yard tallies. Therefore, McLaurin remains an appealing but somewhat volatile fantasy asset heading into a Week 12 home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Dallas Goedert - Productive outing in winGoedert secured all five targets for 61 yards in the Eagles' 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Philadelphia.

ImpactGoedert tied A.J. Brown for the team lead in receptions and checked in second to his teammate in receiving yards. The veteran tight end also was able to recover the Commanders' last-gasp onside kick, sealing the victory for Philadelphia. Goedert had battled an ankle injury during the week, but by posting his third-highest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season, it's evident he's past the issue. Goedert will now have some extra recovery time ahead of a Week 12 road matchup against the Rams on Sunday night, Nov. 24.

DeVonta Smith - Quiet night in Week 11 winSmith secured four of six targets for 29 yards in the Eagles' 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.

ImpactSmith finished fourth on the Eagles in receiving yards despite slotting in second in both receptions and targets. The speedster has now been under 30 yards in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and he's still in search of his first 100-yard effort of the campaign. Smith's next opportunity to reach that milestone comes in a Week 12 road matchup against the Rams on Sunday night, Nov. 24.

Austin Ekeler - Leading receiver in lossEkeler rushed twice for seven yards and secured eight of nine targets for 89 yards in the Commanders' 26-18 loss to the Eagles. He also committed a fumble recovered by Washington.

ImpactEkeler was a non-factor on the ground after back-to-back games with double-digit rush attempts, with Brian Robinson healthy and logging 16 carries. However, Ekeler did finish as the team leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with all three components also serving as season highs. Ekeler is likely to be a bit more involved in the ground attack and remain a key complementary target at minimum during a favorable Week 12 home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24.
