Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Malik Willis

Saturday, September 26, 9:12 AM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones will face the Houston Texans at home in Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season. Through two games, Jones has looked like a shadow of his former self, failing to eclipse 200 passing yards per game on average and throwing two touchdowns and two interceptions. The tear of his Achilles tendon last season likely has much to do with that, and he may not be 100 percent until near the end of the season or the offseason. Houston's defense is one of the best in the NFL, and Jones is missing his top wide receiver, Alec Pierce (heel), who's been placed on injured reserve. A rocky road forward lays in front of Jones, with perhaps his toughest test upcoming this week. The Texans allowed 36 points in Week 1 and got blown out in Week 2, but those games came against quarterbacks Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, who are far more accomplished than Jones thus far, making him a bench candidate even in superflex and 2QB leagues. Jones is prone to games with multiple turnovers, and should be avoided in fantasy football for Week 3.
