Who Should I Start? Trevor Lawrence or Jayden Daniels

Friday, December 6, 12:04 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson confirmed on Friday that quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion, shoulder) will have surgery to fix a sprained AC joint in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. However, Lawrence must first clear the league's concussion protocol before surgery is scheduled. The former first overall pick out of Clemson suffered a scary concussion in the Week 13 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans and was placed on Injured Reserve. Although Lawrence would be eligible to return in the Week 18 regular-season finale, the Jaguars are shutting him down for the season and will have him undergo surgery on his shoulder. The 25-year-old should be fully ready for the start of the 2025 season next fall, but after a very disappointing 2024 campaign, Lawrence will probably go undrafted next year in standard 12-team, one-QB fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels went 25-for-30 with 206 passing yards, 34 rushing yards, an interception, and four total scores in their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Commanders got out to an early 21-point lead in the opening quarter. Brian Robinson Jr. scored on the opening drive, while Daniels added a rushing score and a TD pass to Terry McLaurin later in that frame. 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.
