2021 Fantasy Outlook
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.
