Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year on Thursday. This doesn't come as surprise given Daniels had one of the best seasons for a rookie QB. He threw for 3,568 passing yards with 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 17 regular season games. He also got it done on the ground with 891 rushing yards and six additional scores with his legs. Daniels was a huge part of helping the Commanders make the postseason and the NFC title game. The 24-year-old should be in the MVP discussion for years to come.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback
Jayden Daniels went 29-for-48 with 255 passing yards, a score, and an interception during their loss to the Philpaldeia Eagles in the NFC title game. Daniels added 48 yards and a score on six rushing attempts. Daniels would find his top wideout
Terry McLaurin for a 36-yard TD pass in the second quarter. Then, in the third, Daniels would punch in his second score, this time on a 10-yard run. The Commanders were playing from behind throughout this entire offense but were unable to find much consistency on offense due to costly turnovers. The LSU product leaned on his tight end,
Zach Ertz, in this game as he targeted him 16 times (season-high) and brought in 11 of them for 104 yards. After having a fantastic rookie campaign, Daniels and the Commanders were unable to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. Fantasy managers should view Daniels as a high-end QB1 going forward, as he will likely be one of the first QBs selected in drafts in the offseason.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback
Jayden Daniels should be viewed as a high-end QB1 when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Daniels has led the Commanders to two thrilling upset victories during the playoffs. During this two-game stretch, Daniels has averaged 26.6 PPR points per game. He averaged 283.5 passing and 43.5 rushing per game with four total scores. During the final five weeks of the regular season (excluding Week 18), Daniels averaged a stellar 34.0 PPR points per game. The last time he faced this Philadelphia defense, he threw five passing scores with 258 passing and 81 rushing yards. As a result, DFS players should view Daniels as an elite option as he looks to continue Washington's Cinderella run.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback
Jayden Daniels went 22-for-31 with 299 passing yards and two scores in their upset victory over the top-seeded Detroit Lions. Daniels added 51 yards on 16 rushing attempts. Daniels found his top wideout,
Terry McLaurin, on a 58-yard TD strike in the second quarter. He would then find his tight end,
Zach Ertz, on a five-yard TD pass later in the quarter. The rookie targeted his No.2 wideout
Dyami Brown the most often but spread the ball around as four pass-catchers caught at least four passes. The former No.2 overall pick continues to produce at an elite level, no matter the size of the stage. He remains a high-end QB1 heading into the NFC Championship Game, where he will face either the Philadelphia Eagles or Los Angeles Rams.
