NEW YORK, NY – It's fantasy football draft season and one expert has spoken.
Fantasy football guru Matthew Berry attended Fanatics Fest on Saturday, and his advice was simple: Keep an eye on the running quarterbacks.
There is one in particular that he is trying to include in almost every possible draft. And while he admits there may be bias, there is a good reason for his main surprise.

As a Washington Commanders fan, Berry says rookie Jayden Daniels is a must-draft QB.
“His potential as a runner: 2,000 rushing yards in his final two years at LSU. Think [offensive coordinator] “Kliff Kingsbury when he got Kyler Murray as a rookie, and he was a top-10 fantasy quarterback in his rookie year with Kingsbury. I think Jayden Daniels, he's going to be somewhere between 12 and 15. I have him at No. 8. I think Jayden Daniels is going to have an unbelievable year,” Berry told Fox News Digital of the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.

Berry has one established veteran on his roster that he should avoid.
“I'm not a fan of Justin Herbert this year,” Berry said.
Herbert's Los Angeles Chargers receiving room is “depleted” without Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, Berry says, and new head coach Jim Harbaugh will run the ball.
“[Harbaugh-led teams] “We're always in the bottom five in passing attempts and top five in rushing attempts, so Herbert is not someone I'm going to buy a lot of stock in this year,” Berry said.
