Daniel Jones Fantasy Week 3 Start or Sit: Nowhere Near Your Radar This Weekend
· Yahoo Sports
Indianapolis welcomes Houston and Jones sits 23rd among quarterbacks in PFN’s Week 3 rankings, a placement driven by the collapse of the out of pocket efficiency that made this offense special. Before the injury he completed 76% of his passes with 7.7 yards per attempt in those spots, and this season he is 4-of-10 for 22 yards, about as far from his career mean in the opposite direction. Whether it is health or receivers, I do not think it gets fixed against one of the best defenses in all the land.
Should You Start or Sit Daniel Jones in Week 3?
There were more than a few things that made Jones and this Indy offense special in the first half of last season, but the out-of-pocket efficiency stood out to me in the moment and looking back, it’s even crazier than I remember.

Prior to the injury, he completed 76% of his passes and added 7.7 yards per attempt in those spots. Those are unsustainable rates, but four-of-10 for 22 yards this season is about as far off of his career mean as last season was, just in the polar opposite direction.

Is this a health thing? Is it a receiver thing?
I don’t care if it’s the chicken or the egg: I don’t think it’s getting fixed against one of the best defenses in all the land. The highlight Ja’Marr Chase got plenty of attention against the Texans last season, but in a game where Chase and Tee Higgins earned 61.3% of the targets, Joe Burrow finished the game with 207 pass yards, and the Bengals scored just 20 points.
