Fantasy Football Sleepers: Jayden Daniels & Wan’Dale Robinson (2024)

Thankfully, the 2024 fantasy football season is just around the corner. Each year, fantasy players want to construct their team with a proper mix of good-value players and upside sleepers while avoiding players with high bust potential.

In the fifth part of an eight-part series, I will identify two fantasy football ADP values, two likely-to-bust candidates, and two potential sleepers from the NFC East.

Sleepers to Target

Jayden Daniels (WAS): ADP 107.3 | QB14

Quarterbacks who can make plays with their legs are worth their weight in gold to fantasy players. Therefore, Daniels could be a league winner, especially as the QB14 in the ADP. He had over 2,000 rushing yards and 21 scores during his two seasons at LSU, breaking off several explosive long runs for touchdowns. Despite ranking 122nd in the FBS in rushing attempts (120), the superstar finished 12th in yards (1,250) last year. Furthermore, Daniels is an excellent passer, unlike many rushing quarterbacks coming out of college.

The former LSU star had a 40-4 touchdown to interception ratio in 2023. Daniels ranked 47th in pass attempts last season (332). However, he had the fourth-most big-time throws (29) last year while ranking 134th in turnover-worthy plays (seven), according to PFF. While the Commanders won’t be trading for Brandon Aiyuk, they have a solid receiving core led by Terry McLaurin. Furthermore, Washington will be chasing points for much of the season, giving Daniels plenty of opportunities to rack up fantasy points.

Wan’Dale Robinson (NYG): ADP 203.3 | WR76

New York’s receiving core lacks a proven pass catcher following Darren Waller’s retirement. While Malik Nabers is one of my favorite wide receiver draft targets this year, Robinson is the better value at draft cost. Daniel Jones loves to target the middle part of the field, which will help the slot receiver. In the five games he played with Jones last season, Robinson had a 26% target per route run rate and a 20.2% first-read target share (per Fantasy Points Data).

The receiver’s 20% target per route run rate for the 2023 season ranked third on the team. However, the two players with a higher rate (Sterling Shepard at 26% and Waller at 22%) are no longer on the roster. More importantly, the former Kentucky star had six or more targets in nearly half of his games last year. Robinson will be over a year removed from a torn ACL this upcoming season. Don’t be surprised if he has a third-year breakout.
