Outlook Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels vs PIT at Home — Tough Defensive Test Caps Upside
With starter Baker Mayfield ruled out due to a thumb injury, undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels makes his third consecutive start under center. Daniels showed noticeable growth and pocket composure in his last outing, bringing his two-game total to 337 passing yards and 78 rushing yards while leading Tampa Bay to a victory over Dallas.
Despite flashing dual-threat ability, Daniels encounters a difficult test against Pittsburgh in a projected low-scoring game. Our weekly projection lands at 8.4 fantasy points, expecting roughly 90 passing yards and 23 rushing yards. Started in just 2% of leagues, Daniels belongs on fantasy benches in standard leagues, remaining strictly a desperation play for deep Superflex formats.

Tanner McKee vs. Carolina — Backup Steps Into the Starting Spotlight
Tanner McKee makes his first start of the season against the Panthers as Jalen Hurts sits out with a calf injury. McKee expressed growing comfort running the offense during practice this week, but he faces a tough setup with Saquon Barkley also sidelined, leaving the offense without its primary playmaker.
Our models project McKee for approximately 189 passing yards and 1.3 touchdowns, yielding 13.5 fantasy points. In a contest with a low 39-point over/under and limited rushing production to pad his floor, McKee is strictly a desperation streamer for Superflex leagues rather than standard formats.
