Should You Start or Roster CJ Daniels?
Daniels arrives in Los Angeles as a sixth-round flier whose calling card is craft over explosion. At 6-2, 202, the Miami product leans on refined footwork, route nuance, and a 62.3% contested-catch rate to win against zone, but average long speed and burst cap his ceiling. His 2025 line of 50 grabs for 557 yards and seven scores in 13 games shows production, though none of that translates to a clear NFL target share yet.
The path is the problem. Daniels lands behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, then must beat out Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, and Xavier Smith just to claim the No. 3 job. That math explains a #338 ADP and projections of roughly 3 catches for 43 yards per game. Treat him as a last-round dart or taxi-squad stash who only matters if an injury opens snaps ahead of him.
