Overview

• Joe Burrow is expected to miss about three months and J. J. McCarthy is out multiple weeks, with Brock Purdy unlikely for Week 3 and updates pending on Jayden Daniels and Justin Fields.
• Analysts push streamers and short-term starters at quarterback, spotlighting Daniel Jones, Baker Mayfield, Jake Browning and Carson Wentz for Week 3 lineups.
• Aaron Jones went on injured reserve for four games, elevating Jordan Mason to the Vikings’ No. 1 running back and a top-10 play against the Bengals.
• SportsLine’s Week 3 model fades Alvin Kamara and elevates Chicago’s Rome Odunze to a top-10 wide receiver projection at 14.83 PPR points.
• Rankings reflect knock-on effects from QB changes, with Ja’Marr Chase still a recommended start while Tee Higgins becomes a tougher call.
