Fantasy football free agent pickups: Daniel Jones among top options to replace injured QBs - ESPN

Fantasy football free agent pickups: Daniel Jones among top options to replace injured QBs - ESPN

Week 2 rewarded fantasy managers with a surge of high-scoring performances, including six players topping 30 PPR points. The big caveat is the sustained absence of Joe Burrow, which reshapes the Cincinnati offense and creates streaming opportunities for Browning, Stafford, Jones, and Mac Jones. Early Week 3 looks favorable for Bengals replacements, Rams passers, and Colts play-callers, while several running backs and wideouts—Tuten, Allgeier, Doubs, Ayomanor, Hopkins—emerge as viable fills. Tight ends Juwan Johnson and Zach Ertz remain steady, and streaming defenses like the Packers, Colts, and Chiefs offer upside depending on Week 3 matchups.

Which Week 3 streaming option gives the best risk-adjusted upside in standard leagues?Which running back in the 0-2% roster category could win you a week if plugged in?Who’s the safer Week 3 WR play between Doubs and Hopkins?Which D/ST is most tradable this week for fantasy managers?

Sources - Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy expected to miss 2-4 weeks - ESPN
J.J. McCarthy is sidelined 2-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain, forcing Minnesota to turn to Carson Wentz as Week 3 QB against Cincinnati. Coach Kevin O'Connell indicated McCarthy’s absence isn’t a quick IR stint. Aaron Jones could miss time with a hamstring setback. McCarthy has been under heavy pressure with a patchwork line, posting 301 yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs on 24/41 and a 20.4 QBR through two starts, plus 7 rushes for 50 yards and a score.
With McCarthy out 2-4 weeks, should fantasy managers stash Wentz or look for a streamer for Week 3?How should fantasy managers adjust RB and WR targets for Week 3 in Minnesota?What game plan changes should you expect from the Vikings in Week 3?Which Bengals or Falcons assets stand out as Week 3 DFS plays given this dynamic?

Bengals QB, ex-LSU star Joe Burrow set to miss several months

Bengals QB, ex-LSU star Joe Burrow set to miss several months
Burrow’s toe surgery will sideline him for about three months, likely ending his season. Browning takes over, delivering quick reads with mixed accuracy and turnover risk. For fantasy, Ja’Marr Chase’s ceiling remains high, but Browning’s rhythm could temper weekly upside; Higgins and Boyd become riskier, high-variance plays. Cincinnati will lean on the run and smart scheming to buoy Browning. If he cuts mistakes and connects on early throws, the offense can stay fantasy-relevant; otherwise, expect a decline in overall pass volume as the schedule tests new limits.
What is the immediate fantasy impact for Cincinnati’s roster with Burrow out?Which Bengals players could benefit most from Browning’s start in the near term?How should fantasy owners adjust waiver strategy with a lengthy Burrow absence?Is there any realistic return timetable for Burrow, and how would his return affect Browning’s fantasy ROI?

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy likely out for Week 3 with an ankle sprain - Yahoo Sports
McCarthy's high-ankle sprain could sideline Minnesota's starter for Week 3, opening Carson Wentz as the likely option against Cincinnati. Burrow's toe injury bumps the Bengals to Jake Browning, elevating fantasy intrigue for Minnesota's pass catchers and the run game with a stabilized QB. Week 3 becomes a critical gauge for Minnesota's ceiling after a promising start, with Darnold's 2024 success giving context to the Vikings' likely offensive upside.
If Wentz starts Week 3 for Minnesota, who are the top fantasy plays and how should you rank them?Which team is favored in Week 3 and how does game script affect fantasy numbers?How does Burrow's injury shift Cincinnati's Week 3 game plan and fantasy upside?What is the Week 3 outlook for Minnesota with McCarthy potentially out?

Vikings get surprise J.J. McCarthy injury update after loss to Falcons | Sporting News
J.J. McCarthy suffered an ankle sprain that could sideline him for Week 3 against Cincinnati, pushing the Vikings to prep veteran Carson Wentz. McCarthy finished Week 2 with a limp but played; the Vikings meanwhile eye a Week 4 return. Wentz, signed for 2024 on a one-year deal, would step in and pressure fantasy outputs for Jefferson and the Vikings’ passing game as the offense recalibrates behind a potentially lean week.
If McCarthy sits Week 3, should fantasy managers chase Carson Wentz as a one-week streamer against Cincinnati?How should Vikings’ play-calling adapt if McCarthy is healthy enough to return Week 4?Which Vikings players could offer the safest upside even with McCarthy's status uncertain?What risk factors should fantasy managers monitor for a potential extended absence of McCarthy?
