Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 26 of his 30 passes for 233 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a 42-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4. He also rushed eight times for 47 yards and another score.
Huddle Up: Not only does Daniels appear to be the best rookie quarterback through the first four games, but he looks like a weekly QB1 option.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 21-of-23 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while adding 12 runs for a team-high 39 yards and a score. He set an NFL rookie record for completion percentage at 91.3%.
Huddle Up: The touchdown passes were the first for Daniels in the NFL, and he now has three rushing scores. He is quickly moving up the fantasy quarterback ranks. Treat him as a QB2 in most leagues of 12 or more teams, but he has some obvious upside. The Commanders travel to meet the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 23-of-29 passes for 226 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 2 against the New York Giants, while running 10 times for 44 yards.
Huddle Up: Daniels didn't have any touchdowns, but he didn't have any miscues, either, and he was able to secure his first NFL victory. Fantasy managers don't care about that, but the coaching staff is not trying to win your fantasy league, they're trying to put him into position to win games. He has a ton of upside, but in redraft leagues, he is more of a low-end QB2.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 17 of his 24 passes for 184 yards and rushed 16 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1.
Huddle Up: Daniels didn't have a great game throwing the ball, but his scrambling ability was on full display. If he can stay healthy, his legs could keep him in the QB1 mix.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will receive playing time in the team's first preseason game against the New York Jets Saturday, Aug. 10, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Huddle Up: This should come as a surprise to no one, as the Commanders want to give their top selection in the 2024 NFL Draft plenty of snaps this preaseason with the first-team offense. He is expected to enter the regular season as Washington's starting quarterback and can be viewed as a low-end QB1 or high-end QB2 in fantasy circles because of his massive rushing upside.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels has impressed WR Terry McLaurin during the offseason program with his confidence and command of the offense. "It seemed like he knew the entire offense when we got there," McLaurin said on Friday, June 21. "He's in there calling the huddles through the walkthroughs. He's in there calling the plays, and he's extremely confident. It's a testament to his preparation and his studying that he did on his own. But also, I think the kid loves ball, and he has a good feel for the game."
Huddle Up: As a locked-in starter, Daniels is automatically on the fantasy radar in 2024. But given the fact that he can run with the football and is a promising passer, the No. 2 pick is a viable QB2 with upside from the jump and a player who could outperform his average draft position.
