Quarterbacks
Joe Burrow is healthy and gets Tee Higgins back in the lineup in this one. This is the perfect spot for him to dominate through the air. He's at home and has a dream matchup against an awful Commanders defense that ranked dead last in EPA/Play Allowed and Dropback EPA Allowed last season. Through two weeks this year the Commanders defense has allowed 289 passing yards and 4 pass touchdowns to Baker Mayfield and also managed to make Daniel Jones look competent.
The Jaguars have a solid defense but we all know Josh Allen is matchup proof. He's the best quarterback in fantasy football and gets to play this one at home. Allen ranked third at the quarterback position in DraftKings points per game (25.8) in 2022 and first (25) in 2023.
Jayden Daniels ranks seventh at the quarterback position in DraftKings points per game (20.8) through two weeks and has run the ball 16 and 10 times, respectively. Joe Burrow projects to find plenty of success against the Commanders defense so Daniels will be needed in a big way to keep up. He has a great matchup in his own right. The Bengals defense is banged up and only ranked 29th in EPA/Play Allowed and 23rd in Dropback EPA Allowed in 2023.
