Summary

As Week 3 of the NFL season approaches, fantasy managers are assessing their quarterback options.

Shough leads the league in completions and passing yards, while Goff is ranked as QB5. Drew Lock is noted as a potential streaming option against a struggling Washington defense. Conversely, quarterbacks Drake Maye, Baker Mayfield, and Daniel Jones are advised to be benched due to underwhelming performances and challenging matchups.
