Jayden Daniels, QB, Washington Commanders
Yahoo ADP: QB14 vs. My Rank: QB9
There’s a good chance Washington ends up regretting drafting Daniels over Drake Maye, but that doesn’t mean Daniels can’t be a fantasy force right away. Last season he averaged the second-most fantasy points per game (40.2) since 2016 and the second-most fantasy points per dropback since 2014. Daniels averaged 60+ rushing yards and scored 34 rushing touchdowns during his college career, and Kliff Kingsbury helped Kyler Murray finish as a top-10 QB as a rookie. Kingsbury’s scheme ranked first in situation-neutral pace and no-huddle rate during his four seasons in Arizona, also producing runs against light boxes at a league-high rate.

Daniels is a truly elite runner who led all NCAA quarterbacks last year in missed tackles forced per attempt (0.72) while leading all Power Five QBs in rushing yards (1,250), YPC (10.4), scrambles (55) and PFF Rushing Grade (92.4 — the best ever). Running not only increases a fantasy quarterback’s upside but also his floor, and Daniels is likely to run as much as any QB in the league as a rookie.
Daniels is unquestionably an injury risk, but quarterback is deeper than ever (and he’s not even being drafted as a QB1). Daniels’ ADP has risen throughout the summer, but it still remains too low.
Malik Nabers, WR, New York Giants
Yahoo ADP: WR29 vs. My Rank: WR15
Nabers had a prolific college career, topping 3,000 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns over three seasons at LSU. He led all WRs in yards per route run during his final season while also leading in career yards per team attempt — two of the highest signal metrics — and has yet to turn 21 years old! He’s an elite tackle-breaker who’s capable of playing the slot or outside.

New York’s QB situation isn’t ideal, but Nabers otherwise landed in a terrific situation to put up a monster…
