This week's outlook
Daniels is ruled out this week, so he's off the board regardless of the favorable Giants matchup. His dual-threat production from Weeks 1-2 (rushing yards plus multiple passing touchdowns) has no bearing on Week 5. Confirm the backup's role before pivoting, and revisit Daniels once he's cleared to return.
