Jayden Daniels Looks To Keep Rolling In Week 13
Jayden Daniels should be viewed as a solid QB1 in all formats in Week 13 when he faces the Tennessee Titans. Last weekend, the rookie broke out of a two-game slump, totaling 275 passing and 74 rushing yards with three total scores in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Daniels scored just one combined score in his previous two games and averaged 196.5 passing yards per game in that span. Throughout his rookie campaign, the LSU standout averaged over 250+ yards per game and tallied 17 total scores. This weekend, he faces the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing QBs, which sets up Daniels for another QB1 showing.

Jayden Daniels Named Offensive Rookie Of The Year
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.

Jayden Daniels Tallies Over 300 Yards in Loss
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.
