As Week 3 of the NFL season approaches, fantasy managers are assessing their quarterback options. Tyler Shough of the New Orleans Saints and Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions rank as recommended starters due to their strong performances in previous weeks. 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. Decisions made this week could significantly influence fantasy standings.
