Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be locked into all lineups on Sunday evening when he faces the Atlanta Falcons. Daniels is coming off one of the most impressive wins of his rookie campaign, where he threw five scores and tallied 339 all-purpose yards in a comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Over his past four contests, Daniels has found the end zone 14 times (12 passing, two rushing) and averaged just over 300 total yards per game. This is a great sign for the rookie QB as he hit a two-game skid during Weeks 10 and 11, where he averaged just 13.0 PPR points per game. On Sunday night, the Commanders will host the Atlanta Falcons, who have allowed the eighth-most PPR points to opposing QBs. He is a must-start in all formats.

During Weeks 12 and 13, Daniels averaged an impressive 29.5 PPR points per game, scoring seven touchdowns over this span.

This weekend, he will have a rematch against a tough Philadelphia defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Even though the last time he faced them, he scored only 15.4 PPR points, he should always be locked into all lineups.

Daniels has surpassed all expectations and provided elite fantasy production due to his dual-threat playstyle all season.

Then, in the second quarter, he found McLaurin in the end zone for the second time today. Daniels capped off his impressive outing with his fourth touchdown, this time on a pass to tight end Zach Ertz. With the Commanders in the driver's seat through most of the afternoon, the LSU product did not need to push the ball downfield quite often. However, he was dominant in the red zone and was able to still enjoy a strong fantasy showing. Daniels and the Commanders will get a much-needed bye week next weekend and set their sights on a Week 15 tilt in the Big Easy against the Saints.

One was a four-yard strike to Zach Ertz, and the other was an 86-yard catch-and-run to Terry McLaurin. This was a nice bounce-back showing for Daniels, as he has scored just one total touchdown in his previous two games.

During this stretch, Daniels has tallied just one score and averaged a mere 196.5 passing yards per game.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 22 of his 32 pass attempts for 191 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Thursday's Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He also took three sacks and rushed for just 18 yards on seven attempts. Daniels got off to an incredibly hot start in his rookie season, but he has quieted down over the last two games, tallying one touchdown, one turnover, six sacks, and 23 rushing yards during that span. This year's No. 2 overall pick still has an impressive track record through just half a season in the NFL and should be treated as a mid-to-low fantasy QB1 heading into Week 11 versus Dallas.
Nov 15, 2024 12:29 AM EST
Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be poised to bounce back on Thursday evening against the Philadelphia Eagles.

However, in his previous two games, the LSU product averaged 23.8 PPR points in each contest, with 267.5 passing yards and 43.5 rushing yards in each game. Even though the Eagles have surrendered the fourth-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs, given the hefty 48.5-point total, the Commanders may need to force the ball downfield to keep up with a potent Philadelphia offense setting up Daniels for a productive showing.
