Quarterback Rankings and Analysis

• ⚠️ Jaden Daniels is ranked low (QB12) due to his hamstring injury, absence of his top receiver, and facing a strong Seahawks defense.

• ❓ Sam Darnold is a tough ranking; he has a safe floor but concerns about his limited rushing and low pass attempts cap his ceiling.
