Jayden Daniels
vs Davante Adams

“We are waiting on word for Terry McLaurin , but if Daniels is ready to roll, he is an upside option on the QB1/QB2 line . The Giants rank last in the NFL in pressure rate (22.1%) and will not have Brian Burns for the rest of the season, but they have allowed only one QB1 scoring week through four games. They have faced Cam Ward (9.4 points) and Jacoby Brissett (10.4 points), but that also includes holding Dak Prescott to 14.4 points and 5.1 yards per pass attempt.”

“At this point, Daniels has extreme laxity in his elbow with multiple ligaments torn due to these repeat injuries. Because of that, the re-injury risk moving forward is high. It’s probably a matter of when, not if, Daniels requires surgery.”

“Sit’Em Jayden Daniels (WAS) Injuries crushed Jayden Daniels ‘ 2025 season.”

“Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS) ADP: 59 | (QB5) He has the talent to bounce back after an injury-plagued season last year, but he’s being priced at his ceiling. Despite finishing QB5 in PPR fantasy points per game, a lot of it had to do with his rushing.”

“As long as Jayden Daniels can remain healthy, this should be a formidable offense”

“After a sublime 2024 rookie season in which he threw for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns, ran for 891 yards and six touchdowns, and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year, Daniels played only seven games in 2025 due to elbow, knee and ankle injuries. When he was healthy, Daniels was a far less efficient passer than he had been in 2024, averaging only 6.7 yards per pass attempt and completing 60.6% of his throws in 2025 (down from 7.4 YPA and a 69.0% completion rate as a rookie).”

“Von Miller spoke about choosing the Commanders, saying "with the Washington Commanders, I just felt like Jayden Daniels was poised for another great season. His rookie season went all the way to the NFC Championship, and last year, he got hit with injuries, not just at the quarterback position, but all over the place."”

“When Daniels did play a complete game, he was still productive for fantasy. In those weeks, he posted 19.6 fantasy points per game, which would have been QB7 for the season. He scored at least 15 fantasy points in six of his seven appearances, showing he still has a high floor.”

“Jayden Daniels was a disappointment even before he got hurt. His passing numbers were down, and he only averaged 39.7 rushing yards per game prior to his injury.”

“Even in the games Daniels played, it was clear that regression was going to hit. Finishing the season with a 2-5 record as the starter, he averaged 11 fewer rushing yards and 29 fewer passing yards per game compared to his rookie season.”

“Rams No. 2 receiver Davante Adams had a decent day then (three catches, 56 yards and a touchdown), but the 33-year-old was spectacular during Nacua’s absence over the past couple of weeks.”

“Davante Adams has run 182 routes without Puka Nacua on the field since last season. On those plays: • 36.4% target share • 41.0% early-down target share • 57.1% air yard share • 3.10 yards per route run • 10 TD Most rushes hitting 15+ miles per hour this season (Next-Gen Stats): 1. Bhayshul Tuten (18) 2.”

“With Puka Nacua out, Adams has answered that question loudly. He’s winning at all three levels — short, intermediate, and deep — all over the field. Watch this and tell me it looks like a 33-year-old receiver: Davante Adams got it and got going for 49 yards!”

“Davante Adams – 13 targets, 7 rec Tyler Higbee – 11 targets, 8 rec It is not surprising to see Adams posting double-digit targets for a second consecutive week in the absence of Puka Nacua . It was supposed to be Terrance Ferguson earning extra targets at TE, but after suffering an ankle injury, it was Higbee that stepped up instead. It’s also worth noting that Konata Mumpfield surprised with eight targets on Sunday night, though he will likely lose any fantasy appeal once Puka returns.”

“Davante Adams is a must-start with Puka Nacua not expected to play, and Terrance Ferguson is an interesting play at TE.”

“Puka’s long-term injury status should be fine, but Adams is a WR1 if Puka misses any more time with a potential suspension. Parker Washington Parker Washington has proven that he is clearly the Jacksonville Jaguars ’ best WR. Washington is second in the NFL in target share and third in air yards (37%) through two weeks.”

“Injury Report RAMS Out: S Kamren Kinchens Doubtful: WR Jordan Whittington Questionable: WR Puka Nacua GIANTS Questionable: CB Deonte Bank, LB Micah McFadden Top Captain Plays Davante Adams $13,200 Adams is my favorite CPT under the Puka-out assumption. He led the NFL with 14 receiving TDs last season, and I want exposure where the Rams’ passing production runs through him after he was buns against the 49ers last week. This feels like a bounce-back spot.”
