Quarterback
Start: Jayden Daniels, Commanders
Daniels’ passing output in his debut was underwhelming and fantasy managers who started him couldn’t care less. The rookie ran 16 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns. He scrambled on half of his pressured dropbacks and picked up 77 yards on seven total scrambles. Daniels also led the NFL in carries inside the five with three such attempts.

Start: Justin Fields, Steelers
Fileds is the Konami Code quarterback who is still available in most leagues. He is only rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo leagues. He ran 14 times for 57 yards in Week 1. Fields was serviceable as a passer, ranking seventh in PFF passing grade, 17th in yards per attempt, and 21st in EPA per play. That was despite not scoring a single touchdown.
Fields was functional as a passer and that’s all we need him to be. His legs will do the rest for fantasy purposes.
Sit: Sam Darnold, Vikings
Darnold put on an incredible performance in Week 1 and immediately made me change my tune on him as a player. He’ll be a good streaming option in future weeks, but not in Week 2. Darnold faces the 49ers this week. San Francisco gave up the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks last year and beat Aaron Rodgers so badly in Week 1 that we got to see a Tyrod Taylor garbage-time touchdown. This is Darnold’s first true test as a Viking and Vegas has Minnesota with a 20.5 implied team total. That is lower than the Giants.
Sit: Kirk Cousins, Falcons
I don’t want to make any sweeping statements after one week of football, but you can cut Kirk Cousins or at least bench him in 2QB leagues. Cousins, just 10 months removed from his torn Achilles, didn’t look back to form in Week 1. He averaged six yards per attempt and was intercepted twice…
