Week 3 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks: Sit 'Em
Matt Ryan - Indianapolis Colts vs Kansas City Chiefs
Matt Ryan has had an underwhelming start to his career with the Indianapolis Colts. He's just not a viable fantasy starter this week against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Through two games, he's only scored a combined 17 points throwing for one touchdown against four interceptions. The Colts could find themselves down early against an explosive Kansas City offense. This could mean he throws a lot, but the matchup just isn't an easy one.
Jameis Winston - New Orleans Saints @ Carolina Panthers
Jameis Winston had a below-par outing in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, throwing three interceptions. News broke just before the game that Winston was playing with four fractured vertrabrae in his back. This, along with his turnover issues, are reasons to stay clear this week.
The Carolina Panthers have allowed the fifth-fewest points to quarterbacks so far this season, averaging 12.01. Winston also threw two picks and no touchdowns against Carolina in 2021.
Tua Tagovailoa - Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills
Tua Tagovailoa was excellent in the Miami Dolphins' Week 2 comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens, passing for a mammoth six touchdowns. However, in Week 3 Miami come up against the Buffalo Bills, who have excelled against QBs this season.
The Bills defense held Matthew Stafford to just 8.5 fantasy points in Week 1, and Ryan Tannehill to just 0.88. Buffalo's defense allowed the fewest fantasy points, TDs and passing yards to quarterbacks in 2021, and this game with surely be Tagovailoa's toughest test yet.
