As a rookie, Jayden Daniels ended up being a great pick in fantasy football. Even though Daniels was selected at pick two in the 2024 NFL Draft, he wasn’t viewed extremely highly yet in fantasy football since he hadn’t taken a snap yet.
Going back to the 2024 FantasyPros ADP, Daniels was the QB12 with an overall rank of 102. Based on that draft position, Daniels was a phenomenal pick that year.
In 2024, Daniels ended up scoring 20.9 PPG, making every fantasy football owner extremely happy to have drafted him. The next year Daniels would see his ADP rise to QB3, 28th overall but he scored just 16.3 PPG in seven games because of a few injuries.
With Daniels now having time to recover, we’ll talk about if you should draft him in your fantasy football league or not.
