Jayden Daniels Impresses Once Again

Jayden Daniels Headshot

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels stayed hot in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals. The rookie completed 26-of-30 passes for 233 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. He's now up to an 82.1% completion rate through four games -- a record to start an NFL career (min. 75 attempts).

What They're Saying

Here's WR Terry McLaurin on Daniels' performance.

“I think he’s really confident in what he’s seeing,” McLaurin said. “I think his preparation is very unique for a guy who just got into the league. … The way he attacks practice, the way he’s starting to conduct the film sessions at the end of the week for the receivers and the tight ends and stuff, it’s not a surprise when he goes out there and he executes at a high level.”

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Wow. Watching Daniels live, it’s beyond impressive to see his poise, accuracy, and athleticism. 

Facing the Cards, Daniels hit Terry McLaurin for his lone TD in the fourth quarter. Daniels also leaned on WR Olamide Zaccheaus, who finished with 6 catches for 85 yards.

On the ground, Daniels continued to do well avoiding big hits. He notched 47 rushing yards and recorded his fourth rushing score.

The rookie will face a stiffer test next week vs. Cleveland,  but his rushing upside keeps him safely in the QB1 mix.
