2024 Player Outlook

Daniels was the second overall pick in the 2024 draft by the Washington Commanders as he ushers in a new era under new head coach Dan Quinn and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. With Daniels we have the rushing upside that is awfully appealing in fantasy as his ability to gain yards with his legs and potentially even find the end zone on the ground can make up for an deficiencies he has throwing the football. When it comes to throwing the football we should expect the Commanders to try and push the ball downfield as Kingsbury wanted to do during his time as the Arizona Cardinals head coach. With receivers Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson as primary targets the Commanders drafted tight end Ben Sinnott in the second round and receiver Luke McCaffrey in the third round. In free agency the Commanders added running back Austin Ekeler and veteran tight end Zach Ertz who played for Kingsbury in Arizona. As with all rookie QB's there is risk, but most projections have Daniels rushing for somewhere in the range of 500-to-600 yards and a few touchdowns so even with average passing production he can be a top 12 fantasy QB.
