Jalon Daniels vs. Steelers — Mobile Rookie Set for Third Straight Start

With Baker Mayfield listed as doubtful due to a thumb injury, head coach Todd Bowles confirmed Jalon Daniels will earn his third consecutive start. The rookie quarterback showed notable growth in pocket composure last week, leading the Buccaneers to a win while generating 78 rushing yards over his past two appearances.

Our weekly projection models 8.4 fantasy points alongside roughly 90 passing yards and 23 rushing yards against a tough Pittsburgh defense. Facing a low-scoring game environment with a 39.5 total, Daniels remains a volatile option best reserved for deep leagues or Superflex lineups.

Outlook Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce vs. Chargers — Reliable Target in Home Divisional Matchup

Kelce leads the tight end room for an undefeated Chiefs team favored comfortably at home against the winless Chargers. With starting wideout Rashee Rice missing practice this week due to knee and hamstring ailments, Kelce should see elevated intermediate work from Patrick Mahomes, who practiced fully despite his own minor knee issue.

Our models project Kelce for 4.2 catches, 53 receiving yards, and 11.6 fantasy points this week. Even with occasional low-volume weeks as seen in recent games, his trusted red-zone chemistry and potential target bump make him a locked-in must-start option at tight end.
