Daniels lit Washington's preseason, sprinting for a 14-yard TD and flashing the burst and improvisational ability that fantasy managers crave from a dual-threat QB.

On the sideline, he grabbed the ball for rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s first NFL TD, a moment Daniels called classy—and one that underscored his leadership vibe. He credited Terry McLaurin and Zach Ertz for setting the tone with him, and the feature frames him as a generational talent with a big 2025 season potential in Washington. With Croskey-Merritt flashing as a breakout rookie and McLaurin and Ertz providing proven targets, the Commanders’ offense looks primed for upside if Daniels wins the job. In dynasty terms, Daniels’ rushing floor adds a realistic QB2 ceiling, while McLaurin remains a stable WR1 and Croskey-Merritt could become a late-round spark depending on workload.
