Fantasy football wild-card weekend takeaways: Jayden Daniels, Justin Herbert and best & worst of playoffs

Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer breaks down and reacts  to the best and worst fantasy football performances from the five games so afr on wild-card weekend, starting with the Chargers-Texans on Saturday afternoon through the Commanders-Buccaneers on Sunday night. While Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts and Baker Mayfield disappointed big-time, there's no doubt that Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels and Josh Allen came through with their numbers. Also, Ladd McConkey, Terry McLaurin and George Pickens have the best WR outings as A.J. Brown disappears from the Eagles' game against the Packers. Then at running back, some of the key 2024 offseason free-agent additions keep coming through for 2025.
