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.

The Washington Commanders have selected QB Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The reigning Heisman Trophy winner was the favorite to take over at quarterback in Washington in 2024. The former LSU Tiger completed 72.2% of his passes, with 3,812 passing yards, and 40 touchdowns in an amazing final season in college. Daniels will have Austin Ekeler, Brian Robinson, Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, and Zach Ertz as his primary play makers. The one concern for Daniels and the Commanders is protecting the rookie quarterback with an offensive line that struggled in 2023.
