From the article

The Buccaneers offense will be without starting quarterback Baker Mayfield for yet another game, meaning undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels will once again start under center for Tampa Bay against Pittsburgh... Daniels looked impressively poised and accurate against the Cowboys defense last week, passing for 189 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions with 76% completion... His escapability is an upgrade over Mayfield's, with Daniels already having 87 yards and four first downs on the ground this season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Jalon Daniels showed poise vs Dallas (189 yards, 1 TD, 76% comp); mobility upgrade over Mayfield.

Undrafted rookie starting for Buccaneers in Week 6 vs Steelers with just two starts under his belt; impressed against Cowboys with 189 passing yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 76% completion rate, and 87 rushing yards on four first downs. The source notes his escapability is an upgrade over Mayfield's, though he's on the shorter side (6'0) with arm strength that doesn't leap off the screen; he drives the ball well on short and intermediate passes but still has moments where processing slows and he attempts hero ball.
