Daniels was electric as a rookie in 2024, finishing as the overall QB4 at 22.0 points per game with 10 of 16 games over 20 points. Then injuries derailed his sophomore season. He appeared in just seven games in 2025, finishing QB33 overall, but the per-game production when fully healthy was still impressive—he averaged 19.6 points in his four full games and posted 17.7 and 15.2 in two additional contests where he played only 69 and 88 percent of the snaps, respectively. The efficiency metrics in his limited action (47th percentile EPA, 24th percentile CPOE on just 186 attempts) are hard to read much into given the small sample and the fact that he was clearly battling through injuries. The rushing was still there: Daniels averaged a staggering 47.2 rushing yards per start with two touchdowns. The supporting cast has turned over. Terry McLaurin remains the alpha, and the Commanders possibly upgraded at tight end by bringing in Chigoziem Okonkwo to replace Zach Ertz. They lost Deebo Samuel but drafted Antonio Williams and added Rachaad White and Jerome Ford to reshape the backfield. It's a transitional roster, but Daniels' rushing ability gives him a floor that's almost impossible to replicate at the position. He's going as the QB4, and that's a price built entirely on the 2024 version of Daniels. If he's healthy, the rushing alone makes him a weekly QB1.
