Best Jayden Daniels Prop Bets: How Will Rookie of the Year Frontrunner Follow Up Hail Mary?

• Jayden Daniels had 226 passing yards and 44 rushing yards in a Week 2 win over the Giants.

• Daniels has thrown two interceptions in 206 pass attempts this season.

• In eight games, the Giants have forced just one interception by opposing quarterbacks.

Without question, Jayden Daniels has been one of the most electric players in the NFL this year. The reigning Heisman winner has hit the ground running as a rookie, turning the Washington Commanders from a team that hasn’t had a winning season since 2016 into a team that could be a contender in the NFC standings. Daniels had his most memorable moment when he threw a Hail Mary pass on the final play of the game to beat the Bears.

Daniels will look to follow up that spectacular pass in Week 9 when the Commanders visit the New York Giants.

With his performance this season, Daniels is the current favorite to be Offensive Rookie of the Year. However, the other contenders for the Offensive Rookie of the Year are worth checking out as well. It’s also fascinating to see where the Commanders stack up in the current NFC East odds in what has become one of the most competitive divisions in football.

Jayden Daniels Over 226.5 Passing Yards (-110) at bet365 Sportsbook 

Daniels had exactly 226 passing yards when the Commanders beat the Giants in Week 2. But other than the game he left because of injury two weeks ago, that’s the second-lowest passing total of the season for Daniels. Keep in mind the lowest came in Week 1. In other words, he has continued to get better throughout the season, making him a far better passer right now than he was in Week 2.

Last week, Daniels amassed 326 passing yards without having his best game. He had already gone well over 226.5 passing yards before his game-winning Hail Mary. In fairness, the Giants can be a little stingy defensively. Just two of the six quarterbacks they’ve faced since Week 2 have gone over 226.5 passing yards. But after getting lit up by Russell Wilson and the Steelers last week, Daniels should be able to have similar success this week.

Jayden Daniels Under 45.5 Rushing Yards (-115) at bet365 Sportsbook 

In Week 2, Daniels rushed for just 44 yards on 10 carries against the Giants. For what it’s worth, Daniels has gone over 45.5 rushing yards in four of his last five games. But with the Giants previously facing him, they’ll be better prepared and have a game plan for keeping him in the pocket. After all, the Giants will know that Daniels is most dangerous when he’s able to use his legs.

Of course, forcing Daniels to beat them with his arm is another reason why he should throw for more than 226.5 yards against the Giants. There is also the lingering health concern after Daniels hurt his ribs two weeks ago. He’ll be less likely to push the envelope if he’s nursing that injury. This means he’ll throw the ball away instead of run or get to the sidelines rather than try to get extra yards. As a result, Daniels will be held to 45 rushing yards or less.

Jayden Daniels Under 0.5 Interceptions (-125) at bet365 Sportsbook 

For a rookie, Daniels has showcased surprising discipline and ball security. He has just two interceptions this season in over 200 pass attempts. Those two interceptions came in back-to-back games against the Cardinals and Browns. But he’s now gone three straight games without an interception, albeit with one of those games being his short stint against Carolina two weeks ago.

Equally important, the Giants have forced just one interception this season. That ended up being a largely meaningless interception in a Week 1 loss. In seven straight games, the Giants have failed to collect an interception from the opposing quarterback. The Giants rarely play with a lead or put a ton of pressure on opposing quarterbacks. They’re also missing some key players on that side of the ball, so there’s no reason to think the New York defense will suddenly be able to force an interception out of Daniels this week.
