# Will Jayden Daniels' LSU Heisman dispute affect his 2026 fantasy football value?

There's nothing in the wiki about any LSU Heisman dispute involving Jayden Daniels — no mention of a controversy affecting his 2026 fantasy outlook.

What *does* drive his value in 2026 is all football-related (from the Jayden Daniels page):

- **Injury recovery** — He played only 4-7 games in 2025 due to elbow, knee, and ankle issues, with declining efficiency (YPA dropped from 7.4 to 6.7, YPC from 6.0 to 4.8)
- **New system** — OC David Blough is moving him under-center after a shotgun-heavy career, which Daniels has called "fun" and "awesome" in OTAs
- **OL concern** — Pro Bowl LT Laremy Tunsil is out most of the season with a torn triceps
- **FantasyPros still ranks him top-5** among QBs, but notes he's "less appealing" as an investment than as a rookie

The expert consensus? Establish the Run calls Daniels "a smash in that range" at his current ADP, per [this clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmmGCA-Vyyk&t=1262s). So whatever is being discussed off-field isn't moving the fantasy needle — it's all about health, scheme fit, and the offensive line.
