News: 4 days agoDaniels caught two passes on five targets for 18 yards during the Rams' 20-12 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday.
Spin: Puka Nacua (groin), Davante Adams and Jordan Whittington were all sidelined for Saturday's exhibition contest, allowing Daniels to be listed as a starter. Daniels had a somewhat quiet game, though he connected with Ty Simpson on a 16-yard catch to set the Rams up deep in Chiefs' territory, leading to a two-yard touchdown pass from Simpson to Dean Connors on the next play. Daniels was a sixth-round selection of the Rams in the 2026 NFL Draft, and the rookie is competing against Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpfield and Tyler Scott for a depth role on offense. The Rams' next preseason game takes place Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Saints.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Daniels was selected by the Rams in the sixth round of April's draft. It helped that he played in 68 games across six seasons at Liberty, LSU and Miami, but Daniels ranked third in this WR rookie class in receiving yards (2,991) and second in TD receptions (28) for his career. His overall efficiency was good, though he failed to emerge as anything more than a secondary target once he left Liberty. Daniels will battle for a roster spot and is no more than a dynasty stash.
