00:00All right, well, do we have a fantasy star on our hands here, George?
00:07Here is the question with Jaden Daniels of the Washington Commanders, who, yes, the team
00:13was playing in garbage time and he did pound some of those passing yards and touchdowns
00:17at the end of the game.
00:19But undeniably, George, they called a lot of direct runs for Daniels, 88 rushing yards
00:27in his first game, and he doesn't have to do that every game in order to get paid dirt.
00:32But he rushed for a touchdown, then he rushed for another touchdown, 184 passing yards.
00:38And a lot of folks went into the fantasy season saying, hey, look, maybe this isn't Anthony
00:42Richardson, but it could be the next best thing.
00:44I'm here to tell you, I don't know, I'm sort of feeling like Daniels could be better than
00:48Anthony Richardson.
00:49I don't know if I'm going to go there yet, all right?
00:54But I think he's in the conversation, yeah.
00:58What did we hear at draft time?
00:59A lot of people wanted a quarterback who could move, right?
01:02You don't want the guy who's going to take five, seven steps and throw the football anymore,
01:05because you want that additional rushing yards.
01:07You know, you get 50, 60 yards, that's a touchdown, right?
01:09That's why Josh Allen is so valuable.
01:11Lamar Jackson is so valuable, right?
01:13You go up and down, Jalen Hurts, you go up and down here, guys who can run the football.
01:17Richardson was, I think on ADP, was the fifth quarterback taken.
01:22That's amazing to me.
01:23That's absolutely amazing.
01:24It's because of the rushing yards that he can bring there.
01:26So yeah, I think Daniels is going to be a good quarterback.
01:30I think Washington's got their guy, and he can throw the football too.
01:33We know McClurin's a really good wide receiver.
01:36It may not be much else there.
01:38We'll see what McCaffrey can be.
01:40Luke McCaffrey can be there in time.
01:42But you know, I do have hope for him.
01:44I think at season's end, he's going to be a quarterback one.
01:46It may be a low-end quarterback one, but a quarterback one nonetheless.
01:50Yeah, I was really impressed watching him in that game.
01:53All right, now Anthony Richardson has proven that he's going to throw a lot of bombs.
01:58If you're playing in a league where a 50-yard touchdown, you get like an extra bonus point
02:01or two.
02:02He may be the most valuable quarterback in fantasy, but I mean, George, how many completions
02:06did this guy have?
02:07Did he have 10 completions in the game?
02:08I mean, it was very erratic, and all these yards were on bombs.
02:11He did throw a pick.
02:12He rushed for 56 yards.
02:14Look, he's going to have a big year.
02:17He's going to have a big fantasy year.
02:18There's no question about it.
02:19I don't know about the long-term viability here, and look, give him credit, he hung in
02:23there with the Houston Texans.
02:25My fear for him, George, is that when you go back and you watch film, if you protect
02:30the deep ball against Richardson, he could hurt you with his legs, and that may be where
02:35all of his fantasy value is coming from.
02:37I cannot see him throwing two like 70-yard bombs like he did again last week.
02:42He actually had nine completions last week.
02:46Nine?
02:47Wow.
02:48That's amazing.
02:49And he had 212 yards.
02:51And by the way, he should have had two other long passes, right, to Mitchell that he did
02:55not connect on.
02:56He should have easily had over 300 yards and 11 completions.
02:59It would have been a monster day here, but once again, the point is well taken.
03:03Yeah, he'll connect on some bombs, but he was 9 of 19, so he's not connecting on the
03:07intermediate stuff.
03:08He's throwing the ball up there, and the receivers are running under it.
03:11Listen, that should come in time, right?
03:13Practice time.
03:14I think he will get better here.
03:15I think Richardson is going to be fine.
03:16He does need to learn how to avoid hits.
03:19All right?
03:20Once again, remember that hit from Latua last night?
03:22He initiated it.
03:23Slide!
03:24The rules are made for you not to get hit.
03:26Take advantage of them.
