CJ Daniels — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.
Daniels brings a six-year college career to the NFL. After a quiet first 28 games with Liberty, he caught 55 of his 87 targets for 1,067 yards and 10 touchdowns. A transfer to LSU led to a dull season (42/480/0), followed by a year (50/557/7) at Miami (FL). Daniels missed all but four games in 2022 due to a torn ACL.
His challenge at the NFL level comes against physical defensive backs in press coverage. He brings scoring upside, along with a reasonable starting floor in his route running. Daniels battled injuries three times in his college career.
