Jayden Daniels completed 16 of 29 passes for 217 yards and a TD, adding 2 carries for 23 yards to finish as the QB15 in Week 8 pending Monday Night Football. It’s his lowest finish since returning from his elbow injury in Week 5.

Daniels is the latest league-leader in INT rate with Lions QB Jared Goff throwing his first INT this season. He's the only QB with at least 60 pass attempts not to account for an INT.
Since returning from his injury, Daniels has averaged 8.2 adjusted yards per attempt and 8.5 rushing points per game. He’s the only QB to reach both 8.0 adjusted yards per attempt and 8.0 rushing points per game over that span.
He ranks as the QB5 since Week 5 while ranking as the QB16 on the season. But he jumps to QB14 if you remove the game he left before halftime with his elbow injury.
His next chance to get back to the QB1 production he was posting prior to the bye comes against a Rams defense reducing QB points by 6.7%.
