Outlook Tanner McKee
Tanner McKee vs. Panthers — Stepping in Under Center at Home
McKee steps into the starting role this week with Jalen Hurts landing on injured reserve. Although he operates with several key starters sidelined—including Saquon Barkley—McKee has expressed comfort in the offense and should rely on quick distribution to targets like DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert.
Fantasy managers shouldn't expect high-end production in a matchup projected to be a low-scoring defensive contest. Our projections forecast McKee for approximately 179 passing yards, 1.2 passing touchdowns, and 12.9 fantasy points. With minimal rushing utility and a modest 3% start rate, he is best treated as a fringe option for two-quarterback formats.

Outlook DK Metcalf
DK Metcalf Cleared to Play and Poised for Lead Role in Tampa Bay
Metcalf was completely removed from the injury report after shaking off an illness and carries no injury designation for Sunday's matchup at Raymond James Stadium. With fellow wideout Michael Pittman Jr. sidelined on injured reserve, Metcalf serves as Aaron Rodgers' clear primary perimeter target alongside rookie Germie Bernard.
Our models project Metcalf for roughly 6 to 7 targets, 44 receiving yards, and 10.4 fantasy points. While a modest projected scoring environment against the Buccaneers might limit shootout upside, his dominant role and heavy involvement keep his floor sturdy, making him a strong WR2 start in standard and PPR leagues.
