CJ Daniels

Daniels is a DAWG! He fights for every blade of grass. Daniels is a technically sound, polished receiver whose physical traits have capped him. His footwork off the line and route nuance are strong. His long speed and burst are just average. If he had just a pinch more acceleration, he would have a high ceiling. Daniels operates well versus zone coverage, but he can get held up by press coverage. He has the necessary upper body strength to negotiate it, but he lacks the extra burst to separate once he has bought himself some leeway with his upper body. Daniels has some WILD catches on his film. He exhibits a "my ball" mentality at the catch point with a career 62.3% contested catch rate. Daniels has an insane one-hander vs. Notre Dame, as well as some catches made around a defender. Daniels should fill out an NFL depth chart well as a possession receiver that sets the tone for a team. Dynasty Outlook: Daniels tumbled to the sixth round of the NFL Draft before getting scooped up by the Rams. Daniels has some of the most insane body control you'll ever see on film, but there are limitations to his game with his athleticism and ability to threaten a defense deep. He's a last-round dart/taxi squad option only. I'll snag him in a few leagues.
