Jayden Daniels Earns First Career Victory

Published: Sep 15, 2024 at 09:07 PM
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels went 23-for-29 with 226 passing yards in his first regular-season victory against the New York Giants. On the ground, he added 44 yards on ten carries. This was a significant improvement for the number-two overall pick, as he threw for just 184 yards on 17 completions in his debut last week. Throughout the afternoon, the LSU product was able to lead Washington downfield but could not capitalize on any red zone opportunities as the Commanders only came away with field goals - six of them. His longest pass of the day was a 34-yarder to Noah Brown on the eventual game-winning drive. Fantasy managers should continue to feel comfortable staring Daniels in all formats, given his elite rushing ability, even as he continues to develop as a passer. He should be viewed as a low-end QB1 next week as he faces the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night.
