Jayden Daniels: Jayden Daniels Runs for 68 Yards on Top of Solid Passing Performance

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 19 of his 30 pass attempts for 233 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 1 win over the New York Giants. He also rushed for 68 yards on 11 attempts. While Daniels only had the one touchdown, it was still a solid day for him in terms of rushing production and playing turnover-free football. Last year's No. 2 pick opened the 2025 season on an impressive note, but his competition will get tougher next week when he faces the Green Bay Packers, led by newcomer Micah Parsons. Green Bay's defense just held Detroit to 13 points, of which seven came during garbage time. Daniels still ranks as a mid-range QB1 thanks to his rushing ability.
