Ranking fantasy winners of Week 12
1. Jayden Daniels, QB, Washington Commanders
Considering how up-and-down his game was, it's difficult to fathom how he got fantasy's top score from Sunday's 1 p.m. ET contests (30.4 points). Daniels went into halftime with just 2.78 points and struggled through a trio of three-and-outs early in the second half, but he went on a massive fourth-quarter tear capped by an 86-yard touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin. While the Commanders ultimately fell short of a comeback win, Daniels' exploits again delivered the goods for his fantasy managers. This was his best single-game score, serving as a reminder of his potency as both a rusher and passer. About the only thing not to like about his rest-of-season outlook is that he has a Week 14 bye ahead of him -- though even that should provide him much-needed rest. -- Cockcroft
