STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Daniels' passing inefficiency and tough Rams defense require rushing upside to justify starting.

Since his Week 5 return, Jayden Daniels has been QB5 in fantasy points per game, averaging five rushing attempts and 45.3 yards on the ground with two rushing scores over three games. However, among 30 qualifying passers, Daniels ranks 20th in yards per attempt, 24th in passing success rate, 16th in catchable target rate, and 15th in highly accurate throw rate. Los Angeles' pass defense has remained tough over the last five games, allowing the eighth-lowest EPA per dropback, tenth-lowest passing touchdown rate, seventh-lowest passing success rate, and 14th-fewest fantasy points per dropback. Daniels will need a nice rushing performance this week to pay off for fantasy, making this a concerning start.
