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.

Michael Penix vs BAL at home — looking to stay hot in prime-time showdown
Since returning from his ACL injury, Penix has revitalized Atlanta's offense over the past two weeks, throwing for 479 yards and two touchdowns to spark consecutive wins. The Falcons are expanding his comfort in the scheme by dialing up more under-center sets, though fantasy managers should monitor left tackle Jake Matthews, who missed practice with a groin injury.
Our weekly projection tabs Penix for 15.5 fantasy points and roughly 230 passing yards against a tough 3-1 Ravens defense. Without any rushing equity to elevate his baseline, Penix profiles primarily as a matchup-dependent streamer in single-quarterback formats and a viable QB2 in Superflex leagues.
