Fantasy football reactions & takeaways: Jayden Daniels and best, worst, most surprising from Week 16

Sporting News.com's Vinnie Iyer and NFL.com's Michelle Magdziuk react to the best, worst and most surprising fantasy football developments from the Week 16 NFL Sunday action, including Jayden Daniels having the best game yet of his rookie season in a tough matchup against the Eagles and Jonathan Taylor making amends big time by smashing the Titans. Stars such as De'Von Achane, Justin Jefferson and rookies Brian Thomas Jr. and Brock Bowers all did their things with their immense athletic talent, but Jalen Hurts got concussed and Josh Allen underwhelmed at the worst possible time. Among the surprises was a dud of a Jets-Rams game and Jared Goff lighting up the Bears outdoors in the cold. Plus, Vinnie and Michelle look a little ahead to potential brighter fantasy futures for Bryce Young and Jerome Ford, who also both came through with big games on Sunday.
