Key Start/Sit Decisions for Week 3
-
Mac Jones (ITL QB 9 | FFT QB 16): Solid performance against the Saints with 279 passing yards and 3 touchdowns suggests he’s a viable option against a vulnerable Arizona defense.
-
Drake Maye (ITL QB 14 | FFT QB 11): With the Steelers’ defense showing inconsistencies, Maye remains a risky pick this week, especially with predictions for a low-scoring game.
-
Terry McLaurin (ITL WR 18 | FFT WR 40): Previous connections with Marcus Mariota give McLaurin potential in case the passing game opens up due to injuries in the Redskins’ lineup.
-
Tet McMillan (ITL WR 37 | FFT WR 21): Despite strong initial metrics, his current situation limits his upside against a defense that excels at restricting passing yards.
