Dynasty Analysis

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Dynasty Analysis

This was a no-brainer in the land of no-brainers. Daniels became only the sixth rookie quarterback to lead his team to a conference championship game and had the league's best win (at Detroit) in the process. He also rushed for more yards (891) than any other rookie quarterback in history and threw for a whopping 3,568 passing yards. and 25 touchdowns, becoming the league's fourth best passer in terms of total QBR. In short, he was a stud. He'll be a top-flight QB1 for years to come.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 29-of-48 passes for 255 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a blowout loss against the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.

Dynasty Analysis

Daniels added 48 rushing yards and a score to lead the Commanders as well. With Washington simply unable to stop the Eagles offense, it was next to impossible for Daniels to really do much of anything. Regardless of this outcome, he clearly showed enough to prove to everyone he's going to be a QB1 in dynasty leagues for the long haul. Of all the surprises this season, he's one of the most pleasant.

Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 22-of-31 passes for 299 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, adding 51 rushing yards in a signature playoff road win over Detroit.

Dynasty Analysis

Can he really be considered a rookie at this point? Daniels was again brilliant in what may be the win that really puts him on the map as one of the elite players in the NFL. Washington looks like a team of destiny and that tends to go with the territory when you have a breakout star like this. Daniels is a top tier QB1 in dynasty leagues and an easy player to build your franchise around moving forward as the best may still be yet to come.

Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 24-of-39 passes for 258 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions while adding 81 rushing yards in a win against the Eagles.

Dynasty Analysis

It was an odd day for Washington, who had five turnovers on the afternoon. However, Daniels proved he's never out of a game and led the team back to a huge comeback win. Daniels has exceeded even the boldest of expectations this season and has solidified himself as a true QB1 in dynasty leagues for the long run.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 25-of-38 passes for 275 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, while adding 74 rushing yards and another score in a loss to Dallas.

Dynasty Analysis

The Commanders have lost three in a row after winning seven-of-eight games this season, but Daniels is far from the one to blame. He continues to make plays through the air and on the ground and looks the part of a QB1 long-term. While the losses are a concern, they've done nothing to move the needle in terms of his dynasty value. He remains an elite-level hold at the quarterback position in dynasty leagues.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 22-of-32 passes for 191 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a loss against the Eagles.

Dynasty Analysis

After looking unstoppable early in the season, Daniels has now had two games where he's simply looked like a rookie. This is likely just a blip on the radar, but disappointing nonetheless. Daniels will look to get back on track but dynasty managers are clearly hoping this isn't the start of Daniels hitting a rookie wall. If anything, it could also open a quick buy low window for him in dynasty leagues. It's going to take a lot more than this to make him drop down in our dynasty rankings.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed just 17-of-34 passes for 202 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in a loss against Pittsburgh.

Dynasty Analysis

Leave it to Mike Tomlin to be the Coach who finally cracks the code and keeps Daniels contained. While this was a disappointing performance, it's hardly an indictment on his fantasy value. He'll remain on the QB1 line moving forward and he's solidified himself as an elite-level dynasty asset already.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 15-of-22 passes for 209 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a win against the Giants.

Dynasty Analysis

It was just another day at the office for Daniels, who added another 35 yards on the ground. The Commanders are 7-2 and the surprise of the NFL this season with much of that credit going straight to Daniels, who has been simply brilliant. While his nine passing touchdowns will need to increase for him to be an elite dynasty option, Daniels' floor is high because of his rushing ability and tendency to take care of the football. Caleb Williams is going to be good, but Daniels really may turn out to be great.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 21-of-38 passes for 326 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in a win against Chicago.

Dynasty Analysis

He added 52 rushing yards. This game will not be remembered as the first ever duel between Daniels and Caleb Williams (the first two picks in this year's draft), but more for the miraculous 52-yard Hail Mary to Noah Brown that won the game. Daniels came out of it healthy as his legend just simply grows. Daniels will be on the QB1 line as we move forward the rest of the way as he's done nothing but impress thus far in his young career.
