Jayden Daniels’ impressive rookie season sees him climb to the top Crazy ranks.

The Washington Commanders quarterback got a plus-one bump to an 82 overall in the video game’s player ratings update this week, continuing his season-long rise:

No surprises there. Daniels has the Commanders sitting at a decent 7-2 this season, top of the NFC East and has thrown for 1,945 yards, nine touchdowns, two interceptions and a 71.5 completion percentage. He has added 454 rushing yards and four scores.

Derrick Henry leads the NFL in both rushing yards (1,052) and rushing touchdowns (11), so it’s no shock that he got a plus-one bump to 98 overall. Honestly, he’s playing like a 99 overall right now and probably deserves to be in that club.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley got a plus-one bump to a 95 overall, and honestly, his absurd hurdle last week probably earned him the improved rating alone:

Saquon Barkley’s insanely athletic hurdle in All-22 form
1⃣ #Jaguars great Cover 2 disguise to force checkdown
2⃣ Jalen Hurts came through his reads nicely to get the ball out early enough to get Saquon cooking
3⃣ #Eagles move the chains

Other notable risers this week included a pair of rookies (Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving and Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers) and a pair of established stars (New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and Green Bay Packers safety Xavier McKinney) :

But the biggest gainer overall was Cleveland Browns linebacker Mohamoud Diabate, who got a plus-five boost to a 69 overall. Since returning from injured reserve, he has posted 24 tackles, three tackles and two passes defensed in four games.

The biggest drop was Baltimore Ravens cornerback Tre’Davious White, who dropped four ranking points to a 74 overall. He has been inactive with the Los Angeles Rams since Week 4, but the team traded him to the Ravens on Tuesday. Maybe a change of scenery will help encourage that Crazy ranking.
