Quarterbacks Justin Fields FD 6500 DK 5200 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 19.38 DK - 20.29 Andy Dalton FD 6500 DK 5200 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 There are some big moves at the quarterback position this week, and we have a lot to wade through. The biggest one is the injury to Andy Dalton which will have him missing this week. That’s opening up the chance for the electric Justin Fields to get behind center and flash some of the upside that made him a first-round pick for the Bears. He is their quarterback of the future and that should start here in Week 3 against the Browns. Filling in for the injured Dalton in Week 3, Fields showed some of why he’s a fantasy viable QB right now and could even be a cash game play. He wasn’t so accurate 6-13 for 60 yards through the air, but he took off 10 times on the ground and totaled 31 yards. A week of first-team snaps and a very low $5200 price tag on DraftKings has him totally in the cash game mix for his first start. Jacoby Brissett FD 6700 DK 4900 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 13.75 DK - 14.44 Tua Tagovailoa FD 6700 DK 5300 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Tua Tagovailoa was diagnosed with broken ribs and will sit out this game and possibly more for the Dolphins. It’s a tough, early-season blow for the Fins who will now rely on Jacoby Brissett under center. The latter is an NFL veteran at this point which might not be the worst thing for Miami and he does have a week under center with the first team leading into this one. He came in and threw 40 passes in Week 2 when Tua went down early, completing 24 for *just* 169 yards. He also scrambled five times for 21 yards. At sub-$5K you can take a chance on him on DraftKings and Miami will get Will Fuller back in the mix this week which should bolster the passing attack. Carson Wentz FD 7000 DK 5700 Opponent TENProj Points FD - 18.11 DK - 18.86 Jacob Eason FD 6500 DK 4000 Opponent TENProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Carson Went has not one, but two sprained ankles....
