Daniels was named the 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year on Thursday, Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS

He also added a rookie-QB record 891 rushing yards while scoring six touchdowns on the ground.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Drafted second overall this year, Daniels took first-team practice reps all summer and was named as Washington's Week 1 starter in mid-August. He's an outstanding athlete, but at 6-4, 210, his slim build raises durability concerns. That's about the only concern. Armed with a quick release, Daniels is accurate all over the field. Unlike others in his draft, Daniels' 72.2 completion percentage last season (7th in FBS) was not built on accuracy-inflating short passes -- his average target depth (10.2) and YPA (11.7) both led the nation. Daniels has a strong arm, though not an elite one, and is an excellent deep-ball thrower. He operates well in the pocket but can also play on the run, and it's his dual-threat ability that is intriguing both for Washington and fantasy managers (he ran for more than 2,000 yards and 21 TDs at LSU the last two years). Daniels sometimes holds the ball longer than necessary, resulting in sacks, and his passing stats in college were solid-but-unexceptional prior to his Heisman-winning 2023 campaign. The Commanders have a few experienced targets in RB Austin Ekeler, WR Terry McLaurin and TE Zach Ertz, but they lack depth at the skill positions and may need quick development form rookie TE Ben Sinnott (Round 2) and rookie WR Luke McCaffrey (Round 3). Daniels is lauded for his high football IQ and seems to fit well in offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's scheme, but even if the rookie needs time to figure out the passing game his rushing ability should create fantasy value.

Easily wins OROY honors Thursday
QBWashington Commanders
February 7, 2025
Daniels secured 49 of 50 first-place votes on his way to winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year award Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
There was virtually no doubt the Commanders' dynamic signal-caller would win the award following a stellar campaign that saw him become the first rookie in league history to throw for more than 3,500 yards and rush for more than 800 in his first regular season. Daniels keyed Washington's transformation from a 4-13 team in 2023 to a 12-5 club this past season and was able to guide the Commanders all the way to the NFC Championship Game via playoff road upsets of the Buccaneers and Lions.
