Week 3 Quarterback Outlooks for Fantasy Football
Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals - Fantasy Football Outlook
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray finished as the top quarterback in fantasy football in Week 2, and he'll aim to replicate that success in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. This is a favorable matchup for the Cardinals, as the Lions' secondary has been inconsistent early in the season.
While Detroit's pass rush has been dominant, it could actually play into Murray's strengths by forcing him out of the pocket, creating more opportunities for him to run.
In Week 2, Baker Mayfield rushed for 34 yards and a touchdown against the Lions. With increased rushing potential and a vulnerable secondary, fantasy managers should feel confident in Murray delivering another stellar performance in Week 3.

Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys - Fantasy Football Outlook
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has had a slow start to the 2024 fantasy season. He didn't have to do much in a dominant Week 1 win, and struggled in last week's blowout loss. Week 3 presents an opportunity for the 31-year-old to put it all together as the 0-2 Baltimore Ravens come to town.
Baltimore has allowed the most passing yards in the league through two weeks while being stronger against the run, matching up well with what Dallas likes to do offensively. Despite Prescott's slow start, he grades as a low-end QB1 this week and should be inserted into lineups in most formats.
- Brant Hanson, RotoBaller
Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Fantasy Football Outlook
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has picked up right where he left off last season. Mayfield has thrown for 474 yards with five touchdowns through the first two weeks of the season. The Bucs are struggling to move the ball on the ground, but this pass-heavy approach appears to be working.
Mayfield should continue to have success against the Denver Broncos in Week 3. The Broncos' defensive unit has been average through the first two weeks, so Mayfield should be considered a low-end QB1 for this weekend.
