Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is 40-of-59 for 551 yards and six touchdowns and two interceptions when his team is tied or trailing by one score in the fourth quarter or overtime this season. He has also led Washington to five comeback wins in those situations.
Huddle Up: Daniels' first year in the NFL is easily one of the best seasons by a rookie quarterback in league history. The No. 2 overall pick rarely looked like a rookie in 2024, completing 69% of his passes for 3,568 yards and rushing for a rookie quarterback-record 891 yards. One of the few blemishes on his first-year resume was taking 47 sacks - a number that increased dramatically after he absorbed 18 of them over the final four regular season contests. Regardless, Daniels will likely be considered a lock as a top-five fantasy option at his position in 2025.
