Jayden Daniels

Daniels has to be discussed this week after back-to-back QB24 weekly finishes in fantasy. Dan Quinn has stated that Daniels is healthy, but I don't know if I'm buying it. Since Week 8, Daniels has had at least an 18.2% off-target rate or higher in three of four games. Last week, his aDOT was a season-low of 3.7 yards. Over the last two weeks, Daniels has averaged only five rushing attempts and 11.5 rushing yards per game. In Weeks 1-9, in Daniels' full games played, he only once had less than eight rushing attempts and 35 rushing yards. I'm hoping we see Daniels look more like the ridiculously talented rookie that we have come to love, but I have my worries. If Daniels can bounce back, he should shred the Dallas pass defense. Since Week 6, the Cowboys have allowed the fourth-highest success rate per dropback, the highest yards per attempt, the second-highest passer rating, and the sixth-highest CPOE. Daniels should enjoy clean pockets against a defense that during that time frame has ranked 15th in pressure rate.

Jayden Daniels completed 25-of-38 pass attempts for 275 yards, with two touchdowns, and two interceptions in the Commanders 34-26 loss to Dallas.

Fantasy Impact

Daniels also tallied 74 rushing yards and a touchdown on seven carries Sunday. Daniels found Terry McLaurian on a 86-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter to give the Commanders a chance to tie the game. Daniels and the Commanders will look to bounce back against the Titans in Week 13.
