He statistically improved his game over the course of his career, which resulted in a major breakout in his most recent campaign. He dominated during his final season and was awarded the Heisman Trophy.
His massive output last year included 40 touchdown passes, more than doubling his previous career-best of 17 in a season.
He added another 10 rushing touchdowns and impressively ran for 1,134 yards. This also marked the third consecutive season that he eclipsed 700 rushing yards, while totaling 21 rushing touchdowns in his final two years.
Rushing quarterbacks have long been an asset for fantasy football managers as they often desire the additional points that rushing statistics can add to their final scores. This makes Daniels an attractive option for the 2024 season, especially in Dynasty leagues and formats that allow two starting quarterbacks.
Where should you draft Jayden Daniels this year?
Rookies always carry more risk than most other players in their position, but Jayden Daniels is better than most other first-year quarterbacks.
He and Caleb Williams each have a case for being the best rookie quarterbacks to target in fantasy drafts this year. But Daniels' rushing skills arguably give him more overall upside this season.
Managers considering selecting Daniels during the fantasy drafts this year should reference Sportskeeda's Who Should I Draft tool.
