Should You Start or Sit Jayden Daniels in Week 7?
It feels like every week I leave more impressed with what Daniels is doing. Last week, even in a losing effort, I found his ability to excel in timing situations intoxicating. The highlight of the performance was the six-yard touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin that could not have been defended any better.
I could wax poetic about everything the rookie can do, but keeping things simple might be the best option in this spot. The Panthers rank 27th or worst in yards per attempt, passer rating, touchdown rate, first-down percentage, and essentially any other statistic you want to select from the buffet.
Daniels has been a QB1 in five of six weeks and could very well be the QB1 this week.
