00:00Uh, but going down a little bit further in the quarterback trough here is Jaden Daniels.

00:08Now Jaden Daniels has the rushing equity and the ability to not only be the week one starter,

00:13but also make a huge fantasy impact.

00:16And I do want him to slide a little bit more on the NFL level.

00:19I don't want him to take some shots, right?

00:21I think I look at Jaden Daniels as a guy that you're giving him Tara McLaurin.

00:24You're giving him some real weapons here to work with two very capable running backs that

00:29help take a lot of pressure off a young quarterback.

00:32Ben Sennett, I think is a really interesting tight end prospect.

00:35Dan Quinn, I have a lot of faith in.

00:36I think Dan Quinn's a good football coach.

00:38I think that sometimes good football coaches the second time around really figure things

00:41out.

00:42If you look historically, you see a lot of that.

00:44So what's so intriguing about Jaden Daniels is in single quarterback leagues, you can

00:48be a little aggressive on him and then easily pick up a Justin Herbert, a Kirk Cousins,

00:53a Jared Goff, a boring pocket passer to back it up and have two quarterbacks on your roster

00:58because injuries do happen at the quarterback position, but you're also basically getting

01:02yourself a fringe QB one already in any of those guys.

01:06So if you're looking at all three of those guys, I mentioned a ball finishes QB ones

01:10in the last two years at some point.

01:12So you're really having your cake and eat it too, because you get all the rushing upside,

01:15all the rushing fantasy fun stuff of the rushing touchdowns with TJ and Daniels and all the

01:20safety net.

01:21If Daniels doesn't work out, it's a little bit more tenuous in super flex leagues, but

01:25in single quarterback leagues, I love the late QB approach of Jaden Daniels.

01:29And then another one of those boring pocket passer guys and good offenses, because they're

01:32going to have a situation there where you have all the upside and all the floor.

01:37And that's a great thing to have.

01:39And it allows you to also man that board at RB and wide receiver and go late QB.

01:43So Jaden Daniels, if he plays up the snuff, there could be a league winner.
