Jayden Daniels News
Tuesday, July 14, 10:30 AM
After an electric 2024 season in which he finished as the QB5 in per-game scoring, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels endured a disastrous follow-up campaign in 2025. Thanks to knee, ankle, and elbow injuries, Daniels played in just seven games. He was not particularly effective when healthy either, throwing for 1,262 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 278 yards and two scores. Daniels amassed 3,568 passing yards and 891 rushing yards while collecting 31 total touchdowns in 2024, so his dual-threat upside remains as high as any quarterback in the NFL. However, Washington may be more conservative with Daniels as a rusher this season after his injury-marred 2025. Additionally, the Commanders open the year with major questions along their offensive line and without obvious high-end pass-catchers outside of Terry McLaurin. Daniels has overall QB1 potential, but his current redraft ADP of QB3 may be overlooking his significant downside risk.

Cam Ward News
Thursday, July 2, 11:33 AM
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward started all 17 games in his rookie season in 2025 after the Titans took him first overall out of the University of Miami, and he predictably struggled without much help around him on offense. Ward finished as the QB22 in fantasy football after completing 59.8% of his passes for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. The 24-year-old added 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 39 carries. Ward showed improvement in the second half of the season and will be in better hands in Year 2 with the tutelage of new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who oversaw the rise of Josh Allen in Buffalo before leaving to become the New York Giants' head coach. Ward will also have reinforcements in the passing game in the form of free-agent addition Wan'Dale Robinson and fourth overall pick Carnell Tate, who has looked very impressive during offseason workouts. There is plenty of optimism surrounding Ward's development as he heads into his sophomore campaign, and if Daboll can help improve his accuracy and efficiency, he could bloom in 2026. RotoBaller has Ward ranked as the No. 25 QB for the upcoming season, but he has much more upside than most in that tier of signal-callers.
