Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Jordan Love - 2024 Fantasy Football Quarterback Outlooks

Fantasy football outlooks for quarterbacks Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Jordan Love in 2024. Which quarterback should fantasy managers target in 2024 fantasy drafts?

Even in single-QB formats, quarterbacks have seemingly never been more important in fantasy football. Landing a top-tier stud like Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts is always fun, but waiting later in drafts and picking cheaper players with legitimate QB1 upside is often the most successful strategy.

Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Jordan Love all fit that bill. Which signal-caller should you draft in 2024?

Let's dive into each of their fantasy football outlooks below!

Caleb Williams 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Caleb Williams was selected first overall by the Chicago Bears in the 2024 NFL Draft to lead the offense for years to come following the trade of Justin Fields to Pittsburgh. The Bears' new franchise QB steps into an upgraded offense, with Keenan Allen and D'Andre Swift joining DJ Moore and Cole Kmet. Chicago also spent the ninth overall pick on Rome Odunze. Williams blossomed after following Lincoln Riley to USC as a sophomore, throwing for over 4,500 yards with 42 touchdowns. Lesser numbers as a junior were still bumped by highlight-reel plays that flashed his upside.

The arm talent and ability to create from broken plays are real, with plus mobility able to extend the play. His legs led to 27 total rushing TDs in three years of college ball. While the long-term upside is clear, rookies will have volatility baked into their fantasy projection. He'll open as a bench stash/streamer in most 12-teamers that start one QB, while those in Dynasty/2QB/Superflex leagues will be more aggressive.

Jayden Daniels 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

There have been mixed reviews on QB Jayden Daniels' 2024 outlook after going No. 2 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft to the Washington Commanders, but the rookie is primed to make waves right away. Kliff Kingsbury was brought in as the team's OC and his offenses have typically been up-tempo while featuring a strong RPO element.

Since 2014, there have been 6 QBs who started at least 16 games in their first 2 years in the NFL and who rushed for 1,000+ yards in a college season. They averaged 20.1 fantasy points per game while finishing as a QB1 or better in 63.5% of the fantasy weeks they started. After passing for 3,811 yards and rushing for 1,250 more while combining for 50 total TDs during his final college season in Baton Rouge, it's hard not to feel optimistic about Daniels' fantasy value even as a rookie due to his solid rushing floor. He should be best viewed as a low-end QB1 with upside for 2024.

Jordan Love 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was a revelation in 2023. He started hot, stumbled towards the middle of the season, and finished the season with a stretch run that included 18 passing touchdowns and one interception in eight games. Overall, he threw for 4,159 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while rushing for 247 yards and four scores over 17 games.  Those sound like Aaron Rodgers numbers.

Love is a capable runner, but he will not blow you away with his legs. However, if Love can keep his rushing baseline of 247 yards and four touchdowns and continue to improve as a passer, he will be a very good fantasy starter. Let's remember that Love finished the season with the second most passing touchdowns in the NFL with 32. Love has all the weapons at his disposal to continue ascending. If Love plays like he did down the stretch last season for an entire season, this will be a quarterback you want on your fantasy roster.

Love will not be cheap to acquire, but he could realistically finish ahead of pocket passers such as Joe Burrow, Dak Prescott, and C.J. Stroud, who are currently being selected ahead of him.
