Mike Daniels
DT -
Week 16 Outlook
Availability
The Bengals have announced they are calling up DT Mike Daniels to the active roster ahead of the Super Bowl tomorrow, according to Ian Rapoport.
Fantasy Impact
Daniels will provide some depth on the defensive line, but will likely be riding the bench most of the game, as Cincinnati has B.J Hill and Larry Ogunjobi taking the majority of those snaps.
ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting the Lions and former Packers DL Mike Daniels have agreed to a one-year deal worth $9.1 million and $7.8 million in guaranteed money.
Fantasy Impact
Daniels, who was released earlier in the week, did not have to wait very long to find a new suitor. In fact, he will remain in the NFC North and help bolster an already strong Lions defensive front seven. While Detroit's offense will be a question mark entering 2019, their defense will likely be the strength of the team and must carry them in games to remain competitive, especially if Matthew Stafford's struggles linger into the new season.
Former Packers defensive lineman Mike Daniels visited the Browns on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Daniels was released by Green Bay earlier this week, and his first visit was with Cleveland. The 2017 Pro-Bowler started in 71 of 72 appearances over the last five seasons and could make an already formidable Browns defensive front even more dangerous if he signs.
Mike Daniels recorded two total tackles (one solo) and a sack in the Packers' loss to the Patriots on Sunday Night Football.
Fantasy Impact
While Daniels has done slightly better lately after going three consecutive outings with only one tackle, he still doesn't hold enough fantasy value to warrant a waiver pickup.
Mike Daniels finished Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns with five solo tackles, four of which were solo.
Fantasy Impact
Daniels has been on a roller coaster of production this season. He should be considered a DL3 option for IDP leagues.
