The Athletic’s Nate Atkins believes Rams WR CJ Daniels “is a strong fit for a third receiver role after blocking in one of college football’s most physical offenses.”

The statement comes with positives and negatives. On the one hand, Atkins believes the sixth-round rookie is the favorite to start in three-wide receiver sets. On the other hand, Daniels’ fit is due partially to his blocking ability. Getting on the field is the first step toward fantasy-relevance, though. Daniels is a player to watch closely in the coming months.
