From the article

Daniels is just one year removed from being the QB4 overall in fantasy points per game as a rookie, with six outings above 28 fantasy points, including four of his final five appearances that season. Since then, the 25-year-old battled through an injury-riddled 2025 season where he only played the majority of the snaps in six games. Now, he returns healthy in a new offense that added Stefon Diggs and Chig Okonkwo to suit up alongside Terry McLaurin. If he stays upright, there's a non-zero chance that Daniels pushes to be the No. 1 fantasy quarterback this season.

Healthy Daniels with Diggs and Okonkwo has a realistic path to QB1 status.

Daniels was QB4 overall in fantasy points per game as a rookie with six outings above 28 fantasy points, including four of his final five appearances. After an injury-riddled 2025 season where he only played the majority of snaps in six games, he returns healthy in a new offense that added Stefon Diggs and Chig Okonkwo alongside Terry McLaurin. If he stays upright, there's a non-zero chance Daniels pushes to be the No. 1 fantasy quarterback this season.
