FantasyPros Articles on Jayden Daniels
From the article
Daniels still managed to flash the upside in his four full games played last year to remind people why they fell in love with him in the first place. In those four games, Daniels averaged 20.2 fantasy points per game, nine rushing attempts, and 44 yards on the ground... he'll be under duress when dropping back to throw against one of the best pass defenses in the NFL.
STACKED’s take
Daniels faces elite Philly pass defense; rushing will need to carry Week 1 production.
Daniels faces a top-5 pass defense in Philadelphia (fifth in pressure rate, sixth-fewest yards per allowed, second-lowest passer rating, third-lowest passing success rate) in Week 1. His 2025 season was marred by knee sprain, right hamstring injury, dislocated elbow, and elbow sprain. In four full games played, he averaged 20.2 fantasy points per game with nine rushing attempts and 44 rushing yards, which would have ranked him QB7 in fantasy points per game if sustained; however, his passing metrics ranked poorly (42nd in highly accurate throw rate, 38th in catchable target rate, 25th in hero throw rate). The source expresses concern about Washington's patchwork offensive line giving him time to throw, and notes his rushing ability will have to carry his Week 1 production.
