Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
Daniels is the Steelers' starting right guard.
Daniels spent the first four seasons of his career in Chicago but is in line to serve as the Steelers' starting right tackle in 2022 after he signed a three-year contract with the team in March.
The Bears drafted Daniels in the second round of the 2018 draft, and he was a solid contributor to the line until suffering a chest injury in 2020 that caused him to miss the last three months of the season. He should move right back into the starting lineup this season, and continue as a strong contributor along the line.
