Should You Start or Sit Jayden Daniels in Week 13?
Are the ribs bothering Jayden Daniels? Since getting banged up in Week 7, he’s completing just 31.6% of passes when under duress (Weeks 1-6: 57.1%). Those splits give me pause when evaluating the rest of the season as a whole, but not this week.
The Titans are a bottom-10 defense in both blitz and pressure rate. They don’t view their ability to get to the quarterback as a strength, and I think that’s a blessing for Daniels’ managers.
As spotty as the rookie’s play has been of late, he’s shown up when his team has needed him, even if the defense has ultimately failed to hold up their end of the bargain. Daniels completed all seven of his passes on a late drive last week to give Washington a chance at the chaos that occurred.
Daniels posted his eighth QB1 finish last week, and I saw enough from his mobility wise to think that we get No. 9 in this spot.
