Achilles

March 26, 2025

Daniels (Achilles) said Wednesday that he expects to be fully healthy for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season, C. Isaiah Smalls of the Miami Herald reports.

ANALYSIS
Daniels missed all but the first four games of the 2024 campaign due to an Achilles tear, though he did start in all four of his appearances as the Steelers' top right guard. If he's indeed able to return to full health without any setbacks this offseason, Daniels' presence projects as a notable boost for Miami's needy offensive line. He's capable of starting at either guard position as well as potentially at center.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022

2021

Daniels appeared in 15 of 17 games for the Steelers in 2023 and will serve as the team's starting right guard in 2024.

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.
