Jayden Daniels News
Wednesday, February 11, 6:50 AM
After an electric rookie season in 2024 that saw him lead his team to the NFC Championship Game, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels battled through a miserable follow-up campaign in 2025. The 25-year-old suffered a knee injury in Week 2, a hamstring injury in Week 7, a dislocated elbow in Week 9, and finally a season-ending re-aggravation of the elbow injury in Week 14. Overall, Daniels was limited to just seven games played and completed 60.6% of his pass attempts for 1,262 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 278 yards and two scores on 58 attempts. In addition to the reduced volume, Daniels' efficiency as both a passer and a rusher also suffered. After averaging 7.4 yards per pass attempt and 6.0 yards per rush attempt in 2024, Daniels averaged 6.7 yards per pass attempt and 4.8 yards per rush attempt in 2025. In 2026, former Commanders' assistant quarterbacks coach David Blough will take over for Kliff Kingsbury as Washington's offensive play-caller, throwing some uncertainty into the offensive environment around Daniels. Daniels high-end dual-threat potential means he still carries elite fantasy upside in dynasty formats, but he will have to prove he can stay healthy in 2026.

Caleb Williams News
Saturday, February 14, 9:59 AM
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams took massive strides in his second professional season, his first under head coach Ben Johnson, and he is now a borderline top-five quarterback in dynasty startups. The 2024 first overall pick finished as the QB5 in 2025, while seemingly leaving plays out on the field. His 58.1% completion rate didn't even crack the top-50, and his slow starts repeatedly left the Bears fighting from behind late in games. While the possibility exists that Chicago could falter in 2026, unable to rely on miracle finishes, there's also a chance the Bears are just scratching the surface of what Ben Johnson's vaunted offense is capable of. With one more year to shape the team's personnel to his scheme and mold said scheme to William's unnatural athleticism, it's possible QB5 still might be buying low.
