McCaffrey averages 1.5 targets per game this season but has produced in critical moments. Against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football in Week 3, McCaffrey caught a pass on fourth-and-2 and turned it into a 30-yard gain. He also caught a fourth-down pass against the Titans that helped close out the game.
"My biggest thing with him is his work ethic and his fearlessness is through the roof," offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said of McCaffrey Oct. 17. "He's out there on Sundays, he wants the ball. He's not afraid of the moment, and then every day of practice you almost gotta slow him down because he's doing so much and wants every rep he can get and won't come off the field."
Four-year veteran Dyami Brown could be another answer. The 2021 third-round pick is having the best season of his career so far with 20 catches on 27 targets with 206 yards. He was viewed as a deep threat when he was drafted out of North Carolina, and he put that on display with a 41-yard touchdown grab against the Cleveland Browns, but he's also shown promise as a target on screen passes, as he's shown solid vision and ability to weave around defenders for sizable gains.
"I'm really proud of him \[Dyami\], the plays he has made," Kingsbury said. "He's a very explosive player. And has just continued to get better, his approach, great work ethic and just keeps making plays when he is called upon."
No matter which receiver, whether it's one or many, emerges this week, Daniels is confident in his options.
"They put in the work daily," Daniels said. "Getting here early, staying after practice and putting in the work. Obviously, the work you put in, that's the product you're going to see on Sundays."
