Latest news
Daniels completed 24 of 35 passes for 274 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams. He also gained 16 rushing yards on four carries and lost a fumble.
The lost fumble was the first giveaway of the season for Daniels in six games. The third-year QB also struggled to sustain drives while working with a badly depleted wide receiver room, and his lone TD was a seven-yard toss to Van Jefferson -- a player who had zero catches on the year coming into Sunday -- in the second quarter. Injuries have derailed the first half of the season for the Commanders, but Daniels will try to spark his team to life in Week 10 against the Giants.

Daniels completed 16 of 29 passes for 217 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 23 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.
Daniels found Stefon Diggs for an eight-yard touchdown in the second quarter and led four drives that ended in successful field goals before Rachaad White sealed the deal with a one-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Diggs has been on the receiving end of four of Daniels' six touchdown passes this season. Daniels threw for 300 yards in a Week 6 loss to the 49ers prior to Washington's Week 7 bye, but he hasn't exceeded 233 passing yards in any of his 11 other regular-season outings since the start of the 2025 campaign. Sunday night's win over Philadelphia marked Daniels' first win since Week 5 of the 2025 season, when Washington defeated the Chargers. The Commanders will take a 2-4-1 record into a Week 9 home game against the Rams.
RotoWire via ESPN · Nov 2
Daniels completed 29 of 40 passes for 300 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four rushes for 10 yards in the Commanders' 23-17 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.
Daniels' final numbers won't displease fantasy managers by any stretch, but the athletic signal-caller didn't really get the Commanders offense going until the second half. He put Washington's first touchdown of the night on the board in the waning seconds of the third quarter when he connected with Stefon Diggs from one yard out, and he followed it up with a 10-play, 90-yard march early in the fourth quarter that he capped off with a nine-yard touchdown toss to Rachaad White. However, Daniels and the Commanders came up empty on a subsequent 13-play drive that ended on downs, and the 2024 first-round pick then took a sack on the game's final play after triggering a 10-second runoff with an intentional grounding penalty on the prior snap. Despite the disappointing outcome, Daniels has been solid in his first two games back from an elbow injury, and he'll next face off with the Eagles at home on Sunday night, Nov. 1, following a Week 7 bye.

“Value” is market slot minus our slot: positive means the market lets you draft him later than our blend ranks him. Ranks blend our projection model with ADP at backtested weights, the receipts are on methodology.
Trade value: what to ask for Jayden
Our board has Jayden Daniels at QB14, #74 overall in PPR, and the market drafts him at ADP 74.3 (QB6). The market prices him about 8 picks higher than we do, so in a trade ask for more than his slot suggests: a fair return is a player the market ranks near #74, and you are giving up someone our model values as a #74. He projects to 219.4 points (floor 122.3, ceiling 282.7).
QBs in that range on our board right now: Dak Prescott (#66, DAL), Matthew Stafford (#75, LAR), Jalen Hurts (#78, PHI), Brock Purdy (#84, SF), Caleb Williams (#85, CHI).
