Jalon Daniels at Dallas — Dual-Threat Rookie Faces High-Scoring Road Test

Daniels steps into his second career start with Baker Mayfield officially ruled out due to a thumb injury. The undrafted rookie flashed dual-threat capability in his starting debut against Green Bay, and he now leads an 0-4 Buccaneers offense into a matchup where Tampa Bay is a sizable road underdog.

In what projects as a high-scoring environment, our models forecast Daniels for approximately 202 passing yards, 1.3 touchdowns, and 23 yards on the ground (13.8 fantasy points). His mobility provides an intriguing fantasy floor, but lingering turnover issues—throwing three interceptions over his first two appearances—keep him as a risky streaming option or Superflex play rather than a standard single-QB starter.
