CJ Daniels: CJ Daniels a Low-Priority Dynasty Stash

No strangers to bundling draft picks in pursuit of the players they covet, the Los Angeles Rams sent two additional seventh-round picks to the Philadelphia Eagles to move up 10 spots in the 2026 NFL Draft and select wide receiver CJ Daniels in the sixth round. While many expected the Rams to use an earlier pick at the position, Daniels was the only offseason addition to a room topped comfortably by one of the league's most dynamic duos in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Behind that pairing, the number three role is less decided, with a potential training camp battle expected to sort out a rotation between Daniels, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, and Xavier Smith. Unfortunately, whoever claims the Rams' third receiver spot will hold very little fantasy relevance in an offense at the forefront of the tight end revival. That said, Adams is 33 years old, and Nacua plays a physical brand of football that has caused him to miss seven games over the past two seasons, so if Daniels can earn himself a roster spot, he has the size and versatility to handle an expanded role as an injury fill-in for either. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR117, he is by no means a player who needs to be targeted as aggressively as he was by the Rams in April, but he's worthy of an end-of-bench or taxi squad stash in deeper leagues.
