Colin Cowherd has lofty comparisons for Commanders QB Jayden Daniels
Colin Cowherd has a lofty comparison for Daniels, involving Jackson and another quarterback: Patrick Mahomes.

"This kid is Lamar plus Mahomes," Cowherd said on a recent edition of The Herd. "His poise in the fourth quarter doesn't make sense. And here's the thing, the NFL gives you an all-time quarterback legend about every six years, and I'm talking Peyton Manning, (John) Elway, Mahomes, (Brett) Favre. I'm telling you, he singularly won a road playoff game. And I thought Andrew Luck was the best quarterback I ever saw as a rookie."
Daniels had some spectacular come-from-behind wins as a rookie last season. Whether it was the Hail Mary against the Bears, the spectacular five-touchdown performance in the upset over the Eagles, his game-winning drive over the Falcons, or his performance in the playoff win over the Buccaneers that Cowherd referenced, Daniels did things most veteran quarterbacks couldn't or didn't do.
Daniels proved he has the clutch gene, just like Mahomes. And while it's difficult to compare any quarterback to Mahomes or Jackson, it's hard not to get excited about Daniels entering his second NFL season.

Fantasy Football Rankings 2025: Justin Boone's Top Tight Ends for drafts
Justin Boone won the FantasyPros Most Accurate Expert Award in 2019 and has eight top-10 finishes in the competition. He now brings his rankings acumen to the Yahoo Fantasy audience after recently joining the team as an analyst. He will consistently be refining his draft rankings during training camps, the preseason and leading up to the season. When news breaks, rankings updates will be reflected here, so bookmark this page and get ready for your drafts! And be sure to follow the links below to see his latest redraft rankings at every position. Latest TE Updates Colts rookie Tyler Warren made his preseason debut this week and immediately was a focal point of the passing attack, catching three passes for 40 yards. This comes after several beat writers remarked on his frequent volume in practice. As I've said before, if you miss out on the three elite tight ends, targeting someone from the tier of Tucker Kraft, Dalton Kincaid, Colston Loveland and Warren is a smart move. Am I buying the Kyle Pitts hype again? Maybe. Michael Penix Jr. locking onto him in practice and insisting that is the plan this season is at least notable. Darnell Mooney is also dealing with a shoulder injury that might keep him sidelined into the start of the season. That would leave Pitts as a meaningful part of the passing game early on. Either way, he's risk-free at his late-round ADP this year and still carries more promise than the other boring veteran TEs in that range. There was speculation all offseason that the Seahawks could release veteran tight end Noah Fant, but they waited until right before training camp to make the move. That helps disguise the fantasy value of second-round rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo, who seems headed for a big role in Klint Kubiak's scheme. While I prefer the long-term value of other Day 2 rookie tight ends like Mason Taylor, Harold Fannin Jr. and Terrance Ferguson, Arroyo has a chance to outproduce all of them in Year 1.
