He's just as likely to repeat his scintillating rookie campaign as his disastrous second season. That's what makes him a particularly fateful fifth-round pick as the QB5. Anything is possible. We know because we have already seen it.

STACKED’s take

Daniels' QB5 value hinges on which extreme repeats: rookie magic or sophomore curse.

Daniels has already shown both extremes: his rookie year was charmed, his sophomore season was cursed, and both tell an accurate story. He has the kind of dual-threat skill-set that prints money in fantasy leagues—he really runs and can actually pass. It's almost too good to be true, which it was last year. But he's just as likely to repeat his scintillating rookie campaign as his disastrous second season. That's what makes him a particularly fateful fifth-round pick as the QB5. Anything is possible because we have already seen it.
