JaydenDaniels

News: 4 days agoDaniels, per wide receiver Jaylin Lane, has been "elite" in training camp, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington.

Spin: The wideout clearly has reason to throw praise at his quarterback, but at the same time it's better than the alternative. The situation has changed for Daniels with Stefon Diggs now in the mix and Laremy Tunsil (triceps) facing an extended absence, but Daniels now has another intriguing target to work with, and since the start of training camp he hasn't had any issues with the elbow injury that cut short his 2025 campaign.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Daniels is looking to bounce back after appearing in only seven games due to injury last season. The 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year began his career with a bang, tossing 25 touchdowns and adding 891 yards and six scores with his legs in his first season. He wasn't quite as dominant when healthy last season (16.3 points per game, compared to 20.9 in 2024), but he remained a major factor with his legs (58-278-2 in seven games, three of which were partial appearances). Daniels' supporting cast is underwhelming and he'll be working with a new playcaller (David Blough), but the dual-threat ability supplies the 25-year-old with elite upside. He's a strong QB1 target.
