Daniels' injury-plagued 2025 season makes Week 1 projections unreliable despite four-game upside.

Jayden Daniels is recommended to sit in Week 1 due to a significant injury history that compromised his 2025 season. Daniels dealt with a knee sprain, right hamstring injury, dislocated elbow, and elbow sprain in 2025. Despite these injuries, in his four full games played last year he averaged 20.2 fantasy points per game, nine rushing attempts, and 44 rushing yards per game—a pace that would have made him QB7 in fantasy points per game and second-most rushing yards per game among quarterbacks for the full season. However, the source notes his overall 2025 statistics are a muddied mess better off discarded due to the injury-plagued nature of the season.
