| Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | After a sublime 2024 rookie season in which he threw for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns, ran for 891 yards and six touchdowns, and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year, Daniels played only seven games in 2025 due to elbow, knee and ankle injuries. When he was healthy, Daniels was a far less efficient passer than he had been in 2024, averaging only 6.7 yards per pass attempt and completing 60.6% of his throws in 2025 (down from 7.4 YPA and a 69.0% completion rate as a rookie). Daniels still ran aggressively, averaging 8.3 rushing attempts per game after averaging 8.7 as a rookie. But his effectiveness as a runner waned, going from 6.0 to 4.8 yards per carry. Daniels' running ability and his potential as a passer still make him a top-five fantasy quarterback, but he's obviously a less appealing investment than he was a year ago, and the Commanders' lack of proven pass catchers behind WR Terry McLaurin is cause for concern. | Bo Nix is something of a fantasy football Rorschach test. The good: Nix has finished QB7 in fantasy scoring in each of his first two NFL seasons; he provides value as a runner, with 786 rushing yards and nine TD runs in 34 regular-season starts; Broncos head coach Sean Payton is regarded as one of the NFL's better playcallers; and an offseason trade for Jaylen Waddle gives Nix a very good group of pass catchers. The bad: Nix hasn't fared quite as well in fantasy points per game, ranking QB9 in 2024 and QB11 in 2025; he led the league in pass attempts last season yet still fell short of 4,000 passing yards; and he averaged an unimpressive 6.4 yards per pass attempt last season. Nix offers a relatively safe floor but might have a limited ceiling. Consider him a low-end QB1 or high-end QB2. |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Jayden Daniels' 2025 season was crushed by injuries. Daniels dealt with a knee sprain, a right hamstring injury, a dislocated elbow, and an elbow sprain. For a player who entered the NFL with questions about his size and injury risk, it wasn't what anyone wanted to see. Daniels still managed to flash the upside in his four full games played last year to remind people why they fell in love with him in the first place. In those four games, Daniels averaged 20.2 fantasy points per game, nine rushing attempts, and 44 yards on the ground. If he had kept up that pace all season, he would have been the QB7 in fantasy points per game and averaged the second-most rushing yards per game among quarterbacks. With all of the injuries he sustained last year, his stats are a muddied mess that are better off tossed in the trash, but for the sake of doing my due diligence among 45 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranked 42nd in highly accurate throw rate, 38th in catchable target rate, and 25th in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Daniels has plenty of questions that he'll have to answer in 2026. Can he hold up for an entire season? Will he have enough weapons at his disposal behind Terry McLaurin? Was his rookie season just a flash in the pan? I'm willing to draft Daniels again in 2026 despite all of these questions because of his rushing ability and the brief flash in 2025 of his rookie talent. | Last year, Bo Nix regressed as a passer, and with his overall production, and his still was the QB11 in fantasy points per game. Nix saw his passing touchdown rate fall from 5.1% to 4.1%, and his rushing yards per game dip from 25.3 to 20.9 (16th). Nix still directed a passing offense that was fifth in neutral passing rate and tenth in neutral pace. I don't see either of those figures changing in 2026. With the addition of Jaylen Waddle, Denver could be even more pass-happy this season, too. Among 38 qualifying passers, he was 31st in yards per attempt, 18th in highly accurate throw rate, 19th in hero throw rate, and 22nd in fantasy points per dropback (per Fantasy Points Data). If Nix can bounce back or take another positive step in his career, he could be a top 5-7 quarterback in fantasy in 2026. |
