Should I Start CJ Daniels?

Monday, November 9, 3:40 PM

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that there is "no doubt about it" that rookie wide receiver CJ Daniels will be someone who will get more opportunities to see more snaps/field time going forward, according to Stu Jackson of the team's official website. Star wideout Puka Nacua (knee, toe) is expected to join Davante Adams (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, so if the Rams do not pull off a trade for a new receiver before Tuesday's deadline, Daniels, Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington will all be competing for quarterback Matthew Stafford's attention in elevated offensive roles. The 24-year-old Daniels, who went undrafted, has appeared in only three games so far as a rookie and has played six offensive snaps without a single target. He will have a better chance to put numbers up in the box score this weekend against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals and will be worth a look as a deep-league flier for fantasy managers who are hurting at the position. Daniels is not currently rostered in any Yahoo leagues.
