Player performance

Daniels finished fifth in both fantasy points and fantasy points per game as a rookie thanks to his high rushing volume. His per-game stats are a little deceptive, as in one game he only threw two passes before injury, and in Week 18, he played in less than half the game as the Commanders' playoff spot was locked up. Excluding those two games, he averaged 23.7 fantasy points per game.
