Daniels vs Stroud

[purdybirdy21]

In a vacuum, who would you rather have on your dynasty roster: Stroud or Daniels? Daniels has looked like a true cheat code at the position at times, but has sputtered in recent weeks against more difficult defenses. Stroud, on the other hand, looked like an absolute stud in year one and has seemingly regressed substantially in year two. To Stroud's defense, his WR room has been working through some injuries all year, but he still has some good options in Dell, Metchie, and Schultz in the absences of Diggs and Collins. I do think it comes down to roster construction in superflex, with Stroud being more of a stable pocket passer, and Daniels having the sky-high boom potential, with the occasional bust game. In my case, I have Burrow as my stable QB1 and Daniels as my upside QB2. I was recently offered Stroud and a late 2025 1st for Daniels. Given the 8-keeper format of my league I am leaning towards keeping Daniels, but can't fully ignore the value on the Stroud side.

League type: 12-man / Superflex / 0.5 PPR / 8 Keepers (bolded below)

QB: Burrow, Daniels, Lawrence
RB: Gibbs, Taylor, Charbonnet
WR: Chase, Olave, BTJ, JSN, Waddle, Addison, Worthy
TE: Otton, Kincaid

In that format, I like the extra 1st round pick to swap out young potential stud qbs.
As for the comparison, I still like Stroud and could see a bounce back. Have to see how Daniels recovers from his struggles.
