Realistically, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix are<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the three most likely to be under center in week one. We\u2019ve seen a first-year signal caller throw<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>for at least 3,640 yards in five of the last six seasons (Stroud, Lawrence, Herbert, Murray,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayfield). How many will hit their totals in 2024? Let\u2019s dive in and find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caleb Williams &#8211; Regular Season Passing Yards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 3500.5 Yards -130<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under 3500.5 Yards +100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, Caleb Willams threw for 4,537 yards off 500 attempts. He went on to win the Heisman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following season he threw for 3,633 yards off 388 attempts last season. While transitioning<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>from college to the NFL is a big step up, Williams will be in a comfortable situation in Chicago as<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the Bears have one of the league\u2019s top offensive lines and are armed with game breakers at<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>wide receiver including Keenan Allen, D.J. Moore and rookie Rome Odunze. Barring injuries,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams needs to average just 205 yards a game to top this total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jayden Daniels &#8211; Regular Season Passing Yards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 3250.5 Yards -115<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under 3250.5 Yards -115<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 21 quarterbacks have thrown for more than 3,250 yards in their rookie year but 17 of those<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>pivots have come after 2010 which means the new breed of quarterbacks are letting it fly. While<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the Commanders lack offensive depth it still has playmakers. Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>are legit targets but the wildcard for Daniels may be Austin Ekeler. He\u2019s been a great receiver<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>out of the backfield racking up almost 4,000 yards in seven seasons. OC Kliff Kingsbury will<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>build the offense around Daniels and helped Kyler Murray throw for 3,722 yards in his 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>rookie campaign. At LSU, Daniels threw for 3,812 yards in 12 games last season. All signs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>point to Daniels also hitting this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bo Nix &#8211; Regular Season Passing Yards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 2950.5 Yards -115<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under 2950.5 Yards -115<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any chance of Bo Nix going over this number depends on if you think he\u2019ll be the starter for the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>entire season. The Broncos traded for Zach Wilson and drafted Nix and you\u2019d have to assume<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the former Oregon Duck will be the main guy at some point. He\u2019d need to average 173 yards if<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>he played all 17 games. In College, Nix was precise with his throws. He set an all-time NCAA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>record for completion percentage in a season in 2023 and left Oregon as the program\u2019s leader<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>in career completion percentage. Many experts feel Nix will be successful this season, meaning<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>going over this number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of the six quarterbacks taken in the 2024 NFL Draft, there\u2019s an outside chance five of them could be starters&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":25249,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[146],"class_list":["post-25248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25248"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25248\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25250,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25248\/revisions\/25250"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
