Jayden Daniels capped off a historic rookie season by taking home the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year award, following a standout campaign with the Washington Commanders. In 17 games, Daniels threw for 3,530 yards, 25 touchdowns, and just 9 interceptions while completing 69.4% of his passes. His dual-threat abilities were on full display as he rushed for 864 yards and 6 touchdowns, finishing near the top of the league in rushing yards per attempt. Daniels’ poise and playmaking ability in clutch moments—like four game-winning drives and five touchdown passes in the final 30 seconds of games—cemented his status as one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the NFL.

Heading into 2025, Daniels has firmly established himself as a top-tier fantasy quarterback. His combination of passing yards and rushing upside places him among the elite, with his ability to rack up fantasy points both through the air and on the ground. After finishing as QB3 in fantasy in his rookie season, he’s poised for even more in Year 2, with the potential for higher passing volume and continued growth as a dual-threat playmaker. Dynasty gamers should consider Daniels a cornerstone for their teams, as it would take a significant haul to acquire him. With his ceiling as high as any quarterback in the league, Daniels is shaping up to be a fantasy star for years to come.
