Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Jayden Daniels

Wednesday, July 23, 5:09 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has picked up where he left off in 2024 in the first day of training camp practice on Wednesday, per Eliot Shorr-Parks. Shorr-Parks writes that Hurts didn't do anything flashy but just showed good overall QB play. He took care of the ball and was never really in harms way while going 14-for-15 passing with no touchdowns or interceptions. Hurts had 26 reps on the day, with Shorr-Parks giving him a B grade. The 26-year-old's best pass of the day was down the sideline to receiver A.J. Brown for a pickup of around 20 yards. Even though Hurts isn't the most accurate or prolific passer, he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 3 fantasy QB because of his rushing prowess. In the last four seasons over 62 regular-season games, Hurts has 52 rushing touchdowns. It gives him an extremely high fantasy ceiling.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and the starters on offense are not expected to play in Friday's preseason opener against the New England Patriots. The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala writes that it will be the Josh Johnson and Sam Hartman show. Daniels and the starters presumably will see their most preseason work next week on Aug. 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Veteran backup Marcus Mariota is dealing with a lower-leg injury and did not travel with the team this weekend. Daniels played about as well as any QB last year, but what made it really impressive is that it was his first year in the league. The 24-year-old former second overall pick out of LSU looked to have the "it" factor as a playmaker with both his arms and legs. Daniels finished as the QB5 in fantasy in 2024 and has quickly jumped into the top-five rankings at the position.
