Impact Daniels ended the season on a low note with three costly interceptions as the Jayhawks fell short one win from being bowl eligible. He was able to post a career-high 2,531 passing yards and 22 touchdowns. However, he did commit nine total turnovers with seven interceptions and two lost fumbles. With his senior season over, it's likely that Daniels will explore professional opportunities and could be a developmental prospect in the NFL. His career was up-and-down at Kansas with injuries and inconsistent play.

Struggles at Iowa State Daniels completed 13 of 23 passes for 154 yards and one interception during Saturday's 38-14 defeat versus Iowa State. He also had seven rushes for 25 yards.

Impact Daniels failed to record a single touchdown for the first time since Week 6 at UCF. It's been a tough season for the Jayhawks as they have struggled to find consistent production on the offensive side of the ball. Daniels did briefly exit the game with an injury and back-up QB Cole Ballard threw a touchdown pass to tight end Boden Groen. Kansas is one win shy of being bowl eligible and has one more game against Utah. The Utes were just recently shredded in the ground game, so it's possible Daniels will have more running lanes than usual.

Dual-threat scores at Arizona Daniels was 15-for-29 passing for 199 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-20 loss to Arizona. He also had 14 rushes for 74 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Daniels added a touchdown through the air and on the ground in the same game for the first time since Week 2 at Missouri. The dual-threat quarterback had one of his best games on the ground with a season-high 74 rushing yards on 14 carries. It was the sixth time this season that he recorded double-digit carries. It was unfortunately not enough as the Jayhawks fell to Arizona in a closely contested game. Kansas will be off next week before playing at Iowa State in Week 13.

Pair of scores versus Cowboys Daniels was 13-for-19 passing for 110 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 38-21 victory against Oklahoma State. He also had six rushes for 28 yards.

Impact Daniels threw at least two touchdowns for the seventh time this season. The 110 passing yards was a season low as Kansas did not need to utilize that part of their offensive attack to be successful against the Cowboys. Kansas has made a recent migration to depend more on their run-game which has affected Daniels' fantasy potential. It will be interesting to see what they do at Arizona next week as that is significantly better team than who they played this week.

Struggles through the air Daniels was 17-for-35 passing for 129 yards and one interception during Saturday's 42-17 loss against Kansas State. He also had 17 rushes for 44 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Daniels had his worst game passing of the season as he completed just 48.6 percent of his passes and committed his third interception of the season. He was able to add his second rushing touchdown of the season, but it wasn't nearly enough as the Jayhawks had no chance against in-state rival Kansas State. Kansas should be able to bounce back next week when they play Oklahoma State, one of the worst defenses in the country.

Faces heavy pressure in loss Daniels was 27-for-33 passing for 228 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 42-17 loss against Texas Tech. He also had 15 rushes for -13 yards.

Impact Daniels recorded negative rushing yardage for the first time this season as Texas Tech harassed the quarterback for the bulk of the game. He did have some success through the air as he notched his 17th and 18th passing scores of the year. Daniels has been great in 2025 with 19 total touchdowns and just two interceptions in seven games. Texas Tech is probably the best team the Jayhawks will face all year, so it's likely that Daniels has better fantasy performances the rest of the way. They'll be on a bye next week before hosting Kansas State.

Game manager performance Daniels completed 18 of 26 passes for 235 yards during Saturday's 27-20 victory against UCF. He also had 10 rushes for 25 yards.

Impact Daniels put forth an efficient and managed performance as all three of Kansas' touchdowns came via Leshon Williams and the rushing game. Daniels remains a dual threat with at least 10 carries in three of his last four games. It's likely more of an anomaly that he did not record any touchdowns in Week 6, so expect him to get back to tallying scores against Texas Tech next week.
