The important thing is this isn't awkward. An attorney representing Washington Commanders star and former LSU Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels informed LSU that it can no longer use Daniels' name, image and likeness (NIL). This comes in the wake of LSU sophomore cornerback DJ Pickett changing his number to No. 5, which Daniels wore over his two years with the Tigers from 2022-23. "The Daniels family is deeply disappointed and feels profoundly disrespected by LSU's decision to give Jayden's number to another player," an Aug. 5 statement from Daniels' spokesperson read, according to ESPN. "Jayden and his family had every reason to believe that his number would remain a meaningful part of his LSU legacy and would be honored and protected in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the university. "Jayden made it clear that he did not want his number given to another player, and he believed his wishes would be respected. His Heisman Trophy-winning season and everything he accomplished on and off the field cemented his place in LSU history. To see his number given to another player is incredibly disappointing and feels like a failure to honor the significance of what Jayden accomplished at LSU." Pickett, a consensus five-star recruit, wore No. 3 last season, with him recently changing to No. 5, which LSU head coach Lane Kiffin said the defensive back was "promised" he could wear when being recruited by the school in 2024. The No. 5 isn't retired by LSU. "Accordingly, LSU must immediately cease and desist from any further issue use, display, publication, distribution, promotion, commercialization, or other exploitation of Mr. Daniels' NIL in any manner or medium," attorney Adam Kenner wrote. "Any use of Mr. Daniels' NIL occurring after LSU's receipt of this notice will be deemed knowing and willful and will be pursued vigorously through all available legal and equitable remedies, without further notice." As for what he did on the field last season at LSU (2025), Pickett totaled three interceptions, three passes defended, two sacks and 37 combined tackles in his 2025 freshman campaign. Regarding Daniels, he transferred to Baton Rouge after three seasons with the Arizona State Sun Devils (2019-21) and was the Tigers' starting quarterback for two seasons (2022-23). In his second year at LSU, Daniels put together one of the best seasons by a quarterback in college football history, capped off by winning the 2023 Heisman Trophy Award. Across 12 games, Daniels totaled 3,812 passing yards, 40 passing touchdowns, four interceptions and a 208.0 passer rating, while completing 72.2% of his passes. His 40 passing touchdowns and 208.0 passer rating each led the SEC, while Daniels also rushed for 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns. Daniels was then selected by the Washington Commanders with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and proceeded to lead them to a playoff win for the first time since 2005 and to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1991, when Washington won Super Bowl XXVI. In doing so, Daniels won 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year honors, totaling 3,568 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, nine interceptions and a 100.1 passer rating in the regular season, while completing 69.0% of his passes. Meanwhile, Daniels rushed for 891 yards and six touchdowns. Daniels was limited to seven games in 2025 due to ankle, knee and elbow injuries, posting an 88.1 passer rating and completing 60.6% of his passes. The Commanders missed the playoffs at 5-12. LSU is entering its first season with Kiffin, who previously went 55-19 as the head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels from 2020-25, as its new coach.

With the NFL season approaching and fantasy football drafts in full swing, there's never been a better time to determine which players could be this year's breakout stars.It seems easy in hindsight, but identifying young talent on the verge of making a major leap is often what propels fantasy managers to championships.Ive been revisiting my favorite breakout candidates at every key fantasy position. Lets wrap things up with the wide receivers.Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL seasonMore Breakout Candidates from BooneQB | RB | WR | TELuther Burden III, BearsBurden is currently dealing with a groin injury thats expected to keep him out until closer to Week 1. Given the speculated recovery timeline, its possible hes ready to suit up in the opener, but theres a chance he could miss that game. Fortunately, you dont win fantasy titles in September and Burden has all the signs of being a breakout receiver entering his sophomore season.The Bears offense was an obvious target for fantasy managers last year, with the arrival of Ben Johnson helping to get more out of the talented unit. That remains the case in 2026, as the team will be even more comfortable in this system and young pass-catchers like Burden and Colston Loveland have a chance to develop further.Loveland, Chicagos first-round pick from a year ago, broke out as a top-five fantasy tight end in the second half of the season and will be a huge piece of their attack moving forward. Burdens outlook requires a bit more of a projection.The second-round wideout flashed high-end potential early in his rookie campaign, but was limited to less than 30% of the snaps in every contest during the first two months. However, from Week 10 on his playing time increased and he averaged nearly 64 yards per outing which is a 1,000-yard pace over an entire 17-game schedule.Burdens numbers were good enough to make him the WR28 in fantasy points per game over the final eight weeks of the season. That stretch included some notable performances in the fantasy playoffs, with stat lines of 4-67-0 in Week 15, 6-84-0 in Week 16 and a season-high 8-138-1 in Week 17.The 22-year-old also posted the third best yards per route run among all wideouts, behind only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He even finished top-20 at the position in both targets per route run and yards after the catch, with the latter being particularly impressive considering he caught far fewer passes (47) than the receivers ahead of him in that category. The only player with more yards after the catch per reception was Rashee Rice.While Burden wont soak up all of the 150 combined targets left behind by the departures of DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus, the second-year riser will certainly see his involvement in the offense grow.His teammate Rome Odunze will also attempt to increase his target share in this attack, but hes yet to break out through two years in the NFL. Aside from him, there isnt much competition in Chicagos receiver room.Whether Burden or Loveland lead the Bears in targets this season might not matter, since both players are poised for significant statistical leaps in Year 2 and fantasy managers should be aggressively drafting both soon-to-be stars.Boones redraft rank: WR19 (Fantasy WR2 with legitimate WR1 ceiling if development continues)Emeka Egbuka, BuccaneersEgbuka is another receiver with an injury we need to monitor prior to Week 1. Though the team is saying his toe issue is minor, its the kind of ailment that could linger or be aggravated at any moment. So, well be monitoring and updating if his outlook changes.However, aside from the injury, Egbuka has an excellent chance to take a huge step forward in 2026, following one of the strangest rookie years I can remember.The 23-year-old earned endless praise from everyone around the Buccaneers organization last summer before bursting onto the scene by averaging the third most fantasy points per game over the first five weeks trailing only Puka Nacua and Amon-Ra St. Brown.Sadly, that was the high-point of his debut campaign. From Week 6 on, Egbuka was the WR57. He was held under 45 yards in seven of his last eight outings and failed to score a touchdown during that stretch. Injuries can take some of the blame since both Egbuka and several members of the Bucs offense including Baker Mayfield dealt with a variety of ailments throughout the season.The good news is that the key pieces of the passing attack are healthy and Mike Evans is no longer in Tampa Bay, which will open up opportunities for Egbuka and Chris Godwin, as well as Jalen McMillan and Ted Hurst. The Bucs also face the ninth easiest fantasy WR schedule this season, providing another feather in the cap for Egbukas outlook.While drafting Egbuka doesnt come without risk, its hard to forget that hot start in 2025 when he averaged 89 yards and a touchdown per game. With better injury luck and less target competition, Im willing to chase that upside once again.Boones redraft rank: WR17 (Fantasy WR3 with WR1 upside)Christian Watson, PackersFor the first time in several seasons, the Packers receiver depth chart appears to be simple to decipher, with Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks no longer on the roster. That leaves a clear top trio of Watson, Jayden Reed and last years first-round pick, Matthew Golden. While Golden and Reed are intriguing as wideouts the fantasy community might be undervaluing, Watson has the best chance to emerge as a difference-maker in Green Bay.Last season, Watson finally stayed healthy long enough to showcase his upside, which led to 611 yards and six touchdowns in 10 appearances. That was good enough to make him the WR16 in fppg. Between the routine splash plays or his affinity for the end zone, Watson is the kind of spike-week fantasy WR2 you want in your lineup.Boones redraft rank: WR24 (Fantasy WR2 with low-end WR1 upside if he stays healthy)Parker Washington, JaguarsThe Jaguars receiving room was a moving target in 2025 that was hard to pin down in 2025. Brian Thomas Jr. failed to recapture the magic of his rookie campaign, first-rounder Travis Hunter got hurt midseason and Jakobi Meyers joined the mix around the trade deadline. However, following the teams Week 8 bye, it was Washington who led the group the rest of the way.Washington put up 90 yards and/or a touchdown in five of his last seven games, which included a Week 13 contest where he left early due to a hip strain. Even so, Washington was the WR19 in fppg over the final nine weeks of the fantasy season, ahead of Meyers (WR31) and Thomas (WR44). Though Hunter will return to the field this season, hes expected to play a part-time role on offense.Meanwhile, Washington has already gained the trust of the coaching staff who have continuously heaped praise on him since last year. He also projects to play in two-receiver sets, with Meyers being viewed as more of a slot option, according to beat writers. If youre searching for the player with the most consistent positive drumbeat this summer, Washington is near the top of the list.Even if Washington cant match his top-20 production down the stretch, he has a defined path to WR3 numbers, making him a solid pick as the WR32 in ADP. The Jags wideouts will face the sixth easiest schedule for the position and I have him projected to lead the team in receiving yards.Boones redraft rank: WR28 (Rising fantasy WR3 with WR2 upside)Level up with Yahoo Fantasy UltraWant Justin Boone's breakout candidate for all 32 teams?
