No IR means no roster relief, and Daniels is rostered in 100% of leagues that matter. Week-to-week on an elbow is not a cut, so hold him and start someone else for as long as it takes. Mariota is the actual decision, and he is a bad one: 9.9 points in Week 2, a 40.5 total, and a 7.5-point underdog script against Seattle. Stream a quarterback elsewhere. Leave Mariota on the wire.
