College Production

An extremely productive signal-caller out of Cajon High School in San Bernadino, California, Daniels was ranked as the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the nation, drawing a ton of FBS interest. Ultimately, Daniels chose Arizona State, enrolling on January 7, 2019. Daniels started 12 games that fall and posted a nifty 17-2 TD-to-INT ratio. During the 2020 COVID season, Daniels’s passing production dipped but he emerged as an elite rusher. Those trends continued in 2021. Daniels only tossed 10 touchdowns versus 10 interceptions and 2,380 yards but ran for 710 yards and six additional scores.

In March 2022, Daniels transferred to LSU and set career-high numbers in pass attempts (388), completions (266), and rushing scores (11) while guiding the Tigers to a 10-4 record and 63-7 destruction of Purdue in the 2023 Citrus Bowl. In fifth and final collegiate campaign, Daniels went nuclear. He ranked second in FBS with 40 passing TDs and led the position with a career-best 1,134 rushing yards. Daniels concluded his collegiate career with All-SEC and All-American honors and was named the AP College Football Player of the Year. He also won a ton of hardware, including the Heisman Trophy, Davy O’Brien, Walter Camp, Manning, and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm awards.

Dealing Aces

The fantasy world is an ever-changing market. More information and tools help drafters make better-educated decisions each year. When I first came to the high-stakes market in 2004, I sat in my seat and took the player I thought was the most valuable to my team at that time. It was the purest time in fantasy baseball. It was about understanding the player pool and having vision within the draft. The better I see the future, the better I predict draft flow and future opportunities. 

Early Days of Fantasy Baseball

As each year passes, fantasy managers have more information to help them become better players. After the first year in the high-stakes market, winning results and the final category totals helped fantasy teams better prepare for future years. In addition, these pieces of information helped drafters plan their strategy for the following year.

As the high-stakes fantasy market grew, fantasy managers had more draft results to help them make educated decisions within the draft. The draft flow was a significant part of data for fantasy managers who had the foresight to see the critical components for their team development while understanding how they wanted to build their teams. 

This next tool of information was called ADPs (average draft position). Of course, each draft will be different, but fantasy managers now know how other drafters feel about the player pool.

There was always an information edge in the early days of fantasy baseball. In the home leagues, there were fantasy managers who were more informed than their competition. The more knowledge a drafter had, the bigger the edge over their competition. 

The most challenging part of fantasy baseball is pitching. A fantasy manager with a complete understanding of the pitching inventory had an advantage at the draft table. The knowledge imbalance between drafters created strategies like the LIMA plan, formulated by Ron Shandler of Baseball HQ. 

The term LIMA means Low Investment Mound Aces. By understanding the pitching inventory, a fantasy manager had the opportunity to buy his pitching staff at lower prices. Sometimes, a knowledgeable drafter could find an ace for the small investment of $1 in auction leagues.

From a fantasy perspective, the LIMA plan is a great tool. It is a theory that fantasy teams must embrace to succeed in this game. The goal is always trying to find top talent at a discount. Most early fantasy baseball games were American or National auction leagues, which stressed the importance of finding good players at low prices.
