Fantasy Impact:
Daniels, an undrafted rookie out of Kansas, is set to be Tampa Bay’s starting quarterback with Baker Mayfield (thumb) expected to miss a minimum of three weeks. He is unlikely to have any fantasy value himself, and it remains to be seen if he will play well enough to support the fantasy value of Bucky Irving and Emeka Egbuka over the next few weeks, but he will have a good opportunity to prove himself in an easy matchup against Green Bay’s struggling defense in Week 4.
Bucs QB Baker Mayfield will miss “a minimum of 3 weeks” with dislocated thumb, per HC Todd Bowles. Will not place on injured reserve as of now,
Tampa Bay will lean on rookie undrafted QB Jalon Daniels as starter:
