Capper Steve 
Week 2 was insane if you were a quarterback in the NFL! Not one, but two of them scored over 40 DraftKings fantasy points in Baltimore! Lamar and Tua caught most of us off guard and hit big in many tournaments, but our picks cashed in too. Wentz, Goff, Carr, Murray, and Stafford were all served up on a platter right here and in the projection model. Well, back to the grind guys, on to Week 3! We stay in the kitchen at WinDaily, some spicy gunslingers coming right up. Remember, once you’re done with this quick read, check us out on our expert chat on Discord.
Let’s check out our NFL Week 3 DFS Quarterbacks!
Josh Allen @ MIA ($8,200 DraftKings/$9,000 FanDuel)
Captain Obvious… Yes, Josh Allen is good at football. But we figured out of respect for his talent, we would shed some light on him this week. Allen’s 600–plus passing yards with 7 touchdowns in two games has put him at the top of the menu. This week he’ll battle Tagovailoa for control of the AFC East in Miami, who’s coming off an EA Madden-style game of 469 yards and 6 touchdowns. But Buffalo’s defense has been bulletproof, leading us to consider Tua’s time with the ball could be capped. Allen’s high floor/high ceiling has been invincible at quarterback and the safest to draft but it comes at a hefty price.
Jalen Hurts @ WSH ($7,600 DraftKings/$8,100 FanDuel)
Pay up for this green giant. Hurts has fully emerged as a dual-threat quarterback in 2022, with 577 yards thru the air and 147 on the ground with 4 total touchdowns in only his first two games. And the juicy matchups just keep getting better for Hurts in D.C. where the Commanders have allowed 808 total yards and 5 touchdowns to start the year. Oh, and I won’t forget to mention he’ll square off against the guy he replaced, Carson Wentz. This game will be epic for both teams given the scenario and as much as it can turn into a shootout, the Philly D could put Washington in a vice as we saw against the Vikings.
Kirk Cousins vs. DET ($6,700 DraftKings/$7,700 FanDuel)
Beam us up with Captain Kirk. Forget what we saw in Phila and check out Cousins in the driver’s seat hosting Detroit. In just 2 games the Lions dished out 65 points so this puts him in the perfect bounce back situation. Detroit can hold up their end of the bargain in scoring as well (72) giving Kirk a solid floor to produce value. He may draw less attention from the field too, so a tournament for Cousins wouldn’t be a bad idea on Sunday.
Joe Burrow @ NYJ ($6,600 DraftKings/$7,600 FanDuel)
Joe Cool 3 times the charm? We know he’s looked terrible.The O-line issues with 13 sacks, the 4 picks against Pittsburgh, its all on tape. But let’s give him the benefit of the doubt as he missed training camp because of an emergency appendectomy. And maybe with a few adjustments by the coaching staff, he can get back on track this week against a Jets secondary that can’t guard anybody. Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Joe Mixon are all healthy so we can get behind Burrow one more time. A GPP would be so sneaky but a slight risk for cash.
Matt Stafford @ ARI ($6,500 DraftKings/$7,700 FanDuel)
Run it back with Matt. Just as we predicted Stafford would show up ready to ball out against Atlanta last Sunday and delivered. Not much of an increase in price for a potential repeat performance in Arizona either so let’s get him in cash or a tourney why not. Divisional games can be a dog fight though, but those Arizona corners seem to be still wet a little behind the ears. His weapons are healthy, Allen Robinson made his debut in the endzone, but the run game is still under review. Even more reason for him to throw for the Dub.
Derek Carr @ TEN ($5,900 DraftKings/$7,100 FanDuel)
Dude where’s my Carr? At 0-2 the Raiders can’t catch a break. The Renfrow fumble cost them the game in O.T. but Carr still gave us a win in DFS at his modest price tag. Tennessee is still picking up the pieces after Monday night’s massacre by the Bills, and now on a short week head to Vegas. It may be another long day for the bottom ranked offense (28th) and defense (30th). Carr is averaging 18 fantasy points so far for the year which is a nice floor to have at that salary.
