Daniel Jones News
Tuesday, October 13, 5:53 AM
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones isn't typically a regular top option at QB, but he can definitely help if you need to patch your way through injuries or bye weeks in the coming weeks. Jones and the Colts host the Titans this week before two tough road games against the Vikings and Jaguars. After that, though, his schedule gets more favorable with the Cowboys in Week 9, the Dolphins in Week 10, the Texans in Week 11, and the Giants in Week 12. The 29-year-old quarterback has thrown three touchdowns and four interceptions this season, but he does have an average of over 200 passing yards per game and has added a rushing score. If you need a QB replacement in a week when he has a favorable matchup, Jones gets enough volume under coach Shane Steichen to be a viable option from the waiver wire. This week's matchup with the Titans should be a good spot to utilize him if necessary.

C.J. Stroud News
Monday, October 12, 5:22 PM
Across five games so far in 2026, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has completed 64.3% of his pass attempts for 1,402 yards, six touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 25-year-old has flown under the radar because he hasn't delivered many touchdown passes yet. However, he's quietly thrown for at least 260 yards in four out of five games, and he's averaging 294 yards per game in the three contests where star Texans wideout Nico Collins has been active. Stroud may now be getting another high-end weapon to work with, as Houston acquired wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Texans have also been one of the least efficient rushing teams in the NFL this season, and RB1 David Montgomery (groin) may miss time with a groin injury. In leagues where he's available, Stroud could be worth targeting on the waiver wire for fantasy managers.
