QB3 with historic rookie 20+ PPG; injury-plagued 2024 but rushing floor supports upside.
Jayden DanielsQBWAS
Ian Hartitz ranks Jaden Daniels QB3, higher than typical ADP, citing rookie season averaging 20+ fantasy points per game (only Cam Newton, Justin Herbert, and RG3 achieved this in NFL history). Despite injury concerns (knee week 2, hamstring week 7, dislocated elbow week 9), he averaged 18.9 fantasy points per game in first four weeks (QB7 pace) and remains a high-volume rushing threat capable of fantasy stardom even as an average real-life passer. Hartitz acknowledges injury risk and uniform continuity concern (same team as RG3 bust) but maintains QB3 projection based on rushing floor study showing 77+ carries per season typical for elite fantasy QBs.

Jaden Daniels, my QB3, a little bit higher relative to some of the ADP you see around the world... one year removed from him, averaging north of 20 fantasy points per game as a rookie. The only other quarterbacks to do that in NFL history, Cam Newton, Justin Herbert, and RG3... he was someone also very banged up last season... knee injury in week two, had the hamstring injury in week seven... dislocated elbow in week nine... 18.9 fantasy points per game from Jaden Daniels in the first four weeks of the season that would have been good for QB7 status.
