Jayden Daniels

Injuries withstanding, Jayden Daniels offers more as an under-the-radar game manager with strong fundamentals, accuracy and decision-making.
The other thing that is overlooked about Daniels - is his experience. 5 seasons of college ball. 55 games. And he capped it off with the 2023 Heisman Trophy as PFF's No. 1-graded passer.
With his ability to add value as a rusher and experience with five years under his belt, he can thrive as the second overall pick to the Washington Commanders. During his college tenure, Daniels rushed for over 3,300 yards - 60 rushing yards per game. Last year's third quarterback selected, Anthony Richardson, also averaged 60 rushing yards per game in the college ranks.

Jayden Daniels completed 26-of-30 passes for 233 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Commanders 42-14 win over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

It was another super efficient performance from the rookie quarterback. Daniels did not throw an interception, but threw just three other incomplete passes. He threw a touchdown to Terry McLaurin for the second straight week while also adding another score on the ground. He'll face a tougher matchup against the Browns next week.
