Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels looks completely healthy again. After injuring his ribs in a Week 7 win over the Carolina Panthers, Daniels battled the injury for weeks despite never missing a game.
During this time, Daniels looked more like a rookie. His performances against the Eagles (Week 11) and Cowboys (Week 12) were the worst of his rookie season.
Those on the outside said the rib injury was impacting Daniels as a runner and passer. While Daniels insisted he was fine, his numbers dropped, and he appeared more hesitant running the ball.
Over Washington’s last two games, Daniels has looked more like the player from the first 10 weeks. In Sunday’s win over the New Orleans Saints, Daniels completed 25 of 31 passes for 226 yards and touchdowns.
He also led the Commanders with 66 rushing yards. Daniels picked up huge first downs with his legs while also making some spectacular throws.
So, after 15 weeks, where does Daniels rank in ESPN’s Total QBR metric? Before we look at the rankings, here’s a reminder of how the Total QBR is measured.
