Hopefully fantasy football managers were as bullish on Jayden Daniels as the Washington Commanders were this season, because those who took the chance got a big reward in the fantasy semifinals. Daniels amazed the Eagles’ stout defense in Week 16, throwing for 258 yards, 5 TD and 2 INT. Even more amazing was who those touchdowns went to, including one to Terry McLaurin, two to Jamison Crowder and two to Olamide Zaccheaus. Say what?!
Daniels’ performance in Week 16 was a season-high 36.42 fantasy points at just the right time, giving managers a chance to make a run for the championship. Next up is a primetime home game against the Atlanta Falcons, which marks the seventh-most fantasy points for opposing QBs so far this season.
