Daniel Jones News
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.

Trevor Lawrence News
Saturday, September 26, 6:48 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a rough Week 2 against the elite Denver Broncos defense, finishing with just six fantasy points. He will be looking to bounce back against the New England Patriots, another top-flight defense. The Patriots defense has only given up 16 points through two games, but that was against Drew Lock and Aaron Rodgers. Lawrence will serve as a much harder opponent for them, so it will be interesting to see whether he comes out motivated or falters once again. The Patriots defense is highlighted by top corner Christian Gonzalez, but versatile receiver Parker Washington, Lawrence's favorite target, will likely spend more time in the slot away from where Gonzalez will be. If the Jaguars are able to run the ball well and rely heavily on Washington again, then Lawrence should serve as a fine QB1 start against the Patriots.
