Staffers with Good Vibes

  • Phil Alexander: Jayden Daniels is the real deal, and his pass-catching weapons are young and capable. Washington could field the NFL's most improved offense.
  • Bob Harris: With a new franchise quarterback, Jayden Daniels, working with a coordinator, Kliff Kingsbury, who's gotten the most out of a rookie quarterback before, there's reason for optimism. Daniels will benefit from a solid supporting cast, and fantasy managers have reason to believe the value of some will increase.

Staffers with Neutral Vibes

  • Jason Wood: Changes in the front office, coaching staff, and franchise quarterback are undoubtedly invigorating the fanbase. In the long term, there's more reason for hope than we've seen in decades. But this team isn't ready to compete yet and will need to be patient as they reshape the roster. 
  • Ben Cummins: Jayden Daniels’ talent and versatility will propel this offense forward in 2024.
  • Jeff Haseley: Washington made some big changes in the offseason on both sides of the ball. The success of Jayden Daniels will dictate how far this team can go. 
  • Kyle Bellefeuil: Exciting rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and the new coaching staff bring optimism to Washington.
  • Victoria Geary: With a slew of capable pass catchers surrounding him, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels will be the deciding factor in the success of Washington's offense.
  • Chad Parsons: Incumbent weapons around a high-upside rookie quarterback in Jayden Daniels make this a viable offense even if clearly third or worse in their division.
  • Andy Hicks: The base is there for this side to surprise. A change of coaching staff will have an impact. How quickly Jayden Daniels learns, determines which trajectory this side takes.
  • Justin Howe: We have to consider this a holding pattern: they've made the playoffs once in eight years, and now a retread coach and coordinator take over with a rookie passer.
