Daniels at QB5 is overpriced for 2024 outlier; injury risk and weak line make him a fade.

Jayden Daniels is being drafted as QB5 on the expectation of a return to his magical 2024 season, but the source argues this is overly optimistic. At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, Daniels has a very slight frame, and the 2024 campaign appears to be an outlier in which he avoided injury; he missed 10 games in 2025. Now Daniels has lost left tackle Laremy Tunsil to a torn triceps, and with the Commanders likely to struggle on defense, game scripts will expose Daniels to continued punishment. The source concludes: "Fade Daniels at QB5. You are paying for the outlier season rather than the baseline, and the body has not held up."
