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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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

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.
