Jayden Daniels
#5 Active2026 Fantasy Football Player Profile
2025 Season Recap
Jayden Daniels showed the world exactly how special he was in 2024 and then spent most of 2025 battling injury. He played just seven games last season, throwing for 1,262 yards with 8 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, a clear step back from his efficiency as a rookie. The upside we saw in his 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign is still the reason this kid is worth every pick you spend on him: 3,568 yards, 891 rushing yards, and 31 total touchdowns that year.
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Daniels enters Year 3 and is the consensus QB4. Analysts are high on a bounceback, and honestly, they should be. His rushing floor alone sets him apart from most quarterbacks on this board. Even in a down game, he can scamper for 60 yards and a score and save your week. The question is simply health. He missed most of 2025, and until he proves he can stay on the field for all 17 games, there is real bust risk at his price. That said, if he is healthy, we could be talking about a top-two QB conversation. The price reflects the ceiling. You are taking the injury risk with eyes open.
