Davis Mills vs Jayden Daniels: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Davis Mills and Jayden Daniels for your lineup, you are not alone. Davis Mills finished the 2025 season at 11.6 PPG for the Houston Texans (6 games), and Jayden Daniels averaged 16.8 for the Washington Commanders (7 games).
That 5.2-point weekly advantage for Jayden Daniels is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Davis Mills threw for 915 yards and 5 touchdowns, while Jayden Daniels posted 1262 yards and 8 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking quarterbacks this deep on your bench, plan your replacement quarterback early.
