Aaron Rodgers at Cleveland — Modest Ceiling in Low-Scoring Divisional Tilt
Coming off an efficient three-touchdown performance against Cincinnati, Rodgers has the Steelers sitting at 2-1 atop the AFC North. Pittsburgh's offensive line kept him clean to push the ball downfield to DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson, and the passing attack should remain the focal point with running back Rico Dowdle ruled out.
However, this road matchup in Cleveland features a low 38-point projected total that signals a defensive grind. We project Rodgers for 229.9 passing yards and 1.4 touchdowns for 16.4 fantasy points. With zero rushing involvement and a 2% start rate, he is strictly a superflex option rather than a standard-league starter.

Jalon Daniels Makes First NFL Start at Home Against Green Bay
With Baker Mayfield sidelined by a thumb injury, undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels steps into the starting quarterback role for Tampa Bay against Green Bay. Daniels flashed intriguing arm talent and athleticism in the preseason, and the coaching staff voiced confidence in the young passer ahead of his debut.
Our weekly projection forecasts a modest output, anticipating about 203 passing yards, 1.3 touchdowns, and 20 rushing yards (13.5 fantasy points). While his dual-threat ability provides a floor, this low-scoring projected environment and typical rookie volatility make him best suited for fantasy benches outside of two-quarterback formats.
