My fantasy football QB (Jayden Daniels) is WAY overperforming.

1. Based on what I saw last night

people who have Derrick Henry must be doing pretty good too.
I don't even understand the concept of a plan regarding fantasy football.

2. My plan is dumb luck.

3. I participated in three football drafts this year

If I'm not mistaken, in the DU league, I had Jayden Daniels in the queue and he disappeared just before my turn. So I took Caleb Williams. There's been a significant difference in their trajectories as rookie QBs over the first four weeks.

4. I have Joe Burrow and Dak Prescott in my 2 other leagues

and Jayden is doing better than both of them... 27.52 fantasy points yesterday.

I guess my turn in the draft was before yours, but I really had no idea who he was.

5. I knew Daniels and Williams were the two star QBs coming out of college

and I was aware that Daniels was the one that most fantasy analysts were recommending. They're not always right, but they were in this case (at least so far -- there's a lot of season left to play). The one thing about Daniels is he rushes more and that may make him more prone to taking a big hit. The Bears' O-line is not elite, but it's better than the Commanders' which ranks near the bottom of the league, so protection isn't great for Daniels either.

Hopefully he stays healthy!

11. Happy 12th DU anniversary, milestogo!

9. Williams Had A Good Game

But, probably wasn't that valuable for fantasy football.
The last game, he threw for 360 yards. The 2 silly interceptions later in the game were bad, though.
To his credit, he took the responsibility for those bad plays, admitting they were stupid mistakes. For us Bears fans, there's still reason for optimism.
But, Daniels is on fire!

10. I'm definitely not writing off Williams

He's taking a while to find his rhythm, getting to know the system. He'll likely improve as the season wears on.

6. I have a concept of a fantasy football team...

7. I Would Say So

He does throw a pretty ball! And, he has a quick release.

8. Jayden Daniels and the Commanders' offense have been even better than you think

Let’s count the ways Jayden Daniels is transforming the Washington Commanders and the NFC East race.
The Commanders moved atop the NFC East at 3-1 with a 42-14 domination at Arizona. Their Daniels-quarterbacked offense is setting the bar higher than anyone could have realistically expected. As in, prime Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers high.

Washington has scored on 68 percent of its drives, the highest rate through four games for any team since at least 2000, per TruMedia. You might recognize the teams right behind the Commanders on that list. Not even Brady’s 2007 New England Patriots scored this frequently to start their historic unbeaten regular season.
