CJ Daniels Fantasy Overview

The Los Angeles Rams selected Miami WR CJ Daniels in Round 6 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Daniels is already 24 after spending six years in college. That run included a torn right ACL in the spring of 2022. Daniels finally broke out for 1,064 yards and 10 scores in his fourth season at Liberty before transferring to LSU for the 2024 campaign. He finished just fourth on that team with 42 catches and 480 yards. Daniels was better at Miami this past year, ranking third in catches (50) and yards (557) and second in TDs (7). His 33.8% dominator rating ranked ninth among 49 WRs invited to the Combine. But his 1.73 yards per route ranked 37th. And this all came as a 23-year-old, sixth-year college player. Daniels is a fine route runner with passable ball skills. But there’s no standout trait to his game. He seems unlikely to develop into a real fantasy factor.
