Chase Daniel Fantasy

The Los Angeles Chargers re-signed veteran quarterback Chase Daniel to a one-year, $2.25 million deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Daniel will return in 2022 to back up impressive young quarterback Justin Herbert. The 35-year-old Daniel played in just one game last year and didn't attempt a single pass. He hasn't started a game in the NFL since he made one start for the Chicago Bears in 2019. Daniel began his career in 2010 with the New Orleans Saints and has made just five career starts over 12 seasons with the Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Bears, Detroit Lions and Chargers. The Bolts are hoping he won't have to start any games in 2022.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Chase Daniel was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Daniel is the backup to second-year signal-caller Justin Herbert in Los Angeles, and he hasn't attempted a single pass on five offensive snaps for the Bolts this year. If Daniel cannot get cleared in time for the Week 16 game against the Houston Texans, Easton Stick would be in line to hold the clipboard on the sidelines this weekend. Herbert's fantasy managers will keep their fingers crossed that he wasn't a close contact of Daniel.

The Los Angeles Chargers have decided to rest many of their starters this preseason, but there are still plenty of spots to be figured out on the depth chart. One of those battles will be the No. 2 quarterback spot behind Justin Herbert. Veteran Chase Daniel entered camp as the No. 2 quarterback, but after a rough Week 1 of the preseason, third-year quarterback Easton Stick drew the start in Week 2 versus the San Francisco 49ers. Stick took advantage of his playing time and had a strong first half. He completed 10 of his 14 passes for touchdown pass and also chipped with 15 yards on three rushing attempts. Daniel struggled in the second half by going 14-for-21 for 60 yards and an interception. Herbert is entrenched as the starting the quarterback, but the Chargers will need to decide if they want to go with the veteran or the young arm to backup Herbert. Week 3's preseason game versus the Seattle Seahawks could be what determines the winner, but it should only matter in the fantasy world if Herbert were to get hurt and miss time during the season. If that were the case, both options would be questionable, but Stick would provide the higher upside.
