Who Should I Start? Brock Purdy or Jayden Daniels

According to Adam Schefter, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. Purdy will be absent in Week 2 and it sounds like he'll miss multiple games due to a turf toe issue. There's a chance that Purdy misses as many as five games from this injury. Mac Jones will be under center in Week 2 and it sounds like he'll be drawing multiple starts. Jones doesn't offer a ton of upside, but has value in Superflex formats. It sounds like the 49ers are going to need to lean on him for at least two games.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee) is considered day-to-day with a knee injury, per Josh Taylor of A to Z Sports. Daniels reportedly received an MRI on the affected knee after getting banged up in his team's Thursday night loss to the Green Bay Packers. The 24-year-old has thrown for 433 yards and three touchdowns through the first two games of the season. Still, he brings a significant amount of value with his legs, rushing for 891 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie last season and 85 yards so far in 2025. If Daniels is forced to miss time, veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota would likely step in as the Washington starter in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Even if Daniels can play, his rushing ability could be significantly impacted, depending on the severity of this knee injury.
