Week 3 of the NFL season is here, which means fantasy football is in full swing. Players are starting to get an idea of which players on their teams are going to live up to the hype, and which ones might be busts. Additionally, some players have started to emerge as stars unexpectedly.
While Thursday Night Football has concluded, there is still a significant number of games to be played this week. Here is a look at quarterbacks to start and sit in Week 3.
NFL QBs To Start for Fantasy Football Week 3
Dak Prescott
Dak Prescott has had an up-and-down season in real life and for fantasy football. He had a strong first game, but it did not translate to fantasy. He then had a much stronger Week 2, throwing for 261 passing yards. This week, he is up against a Chicago Bears team that has struggled defensively to start the year and looks like it could be one of the worst teams in the league.
Daniel Jones
Daniel Jones has been a surprising star to start the year. While most people do not think he will maintain his strong play all season, the Indianapolis QB could be in for another strong week. Going up against the Tennessee Titans, Jones could be in a position to lead his Colts to a 3-0 start to the season.
Caleb Williams
While Caleb Williams has not looked great on the field, he has been a solid option for fantasy owners. Additionally, while he is going up against a strong team in Dallas, each QB to face the Cowboys has finished in the top eight in the week.
NFL QBs To Sit for Fantasy Football Week 3
Matthew Stafford
Matthew Stafford is one of the best QBs in the league, but he is going up against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles have faced two top QBs already this season, Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes, and limited both to fewer than 200 yards. So, Stafford might need to sit for fantasy owners this week.
Geno Smith
Geno Smith had a poor Week 2, and it could be another challenging week for him. Going up against the Commanders, who have generated pressure at the second-highest rate this season, could mean he will struggle to put up points for fantasy owners.
Michael Penix Jr.
On paper, Michael Penix Jr. playing against Carolina would make him an appealing starting option. However, the Panthers have allowed the third fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks through the first two weeks. As a result, Penix might be better left on the bench this week.
