What's up, friends, and welcome into Fantasy Pros, the Fantasy Football Podcast. This is the quarterback and tight end ranks episode for week three. I'm Chris Welsh. We've got Andrew Erickson and Pat FitzMorris with us as we're gonna be looking at the top 12 on both of these positions, maybe poking a little bit further on some deeper plays that you guys can look at. If you guys wanna see more, of course, go over to fantasypros.com/slash rankings where you can see the expert consensus rankings. Positionally. Change formats, however, you want to see it. Experts are putting them in there. They're going to kind of change throughout the week as more experts start to put their in. You might see some of the averages start to change.
But if you want to know those valuations, you can do that there. And you can also use that to follow along in this episode, as that's what we're going to be talking about. And speaking of big stories and what to talk about when we jump into quarterbacks here, guys, the biggest piece of news that came down right a little bit Everyone will know at this point, is we are down on another quarterback. We actually are kind of still waiting on the finality of what's gonna happen with Jaden Daniels. Uh, you had the Caleb Williams situation, but the big one fresh off, Jackson Dart not only got hurt, but all the lip reading was for naught of was it four to six weeks and is it better? Is it well? It turns out everything looked bad.
And according to Ian Rappaport, Jackson Dart is going to have surgery. Ending his 2026 season. And that kind of thrusts Jameis Winston into this role. Fitzy, any overarching concern about the rest of the positional player? I mean, I don't think Jameis Winston is more than a super flex grab at this point, but like what type of downgrade are you anticipating for the Giants overall players without Jackson Dart?
Could conceivably be an upgrade, depending on what sort of Jameis Winston we get going forward, just because yeah, he was awful on Monday night. But he also came in ice cold. Um let's see what he looks like after a full week of practice reps and preparation for this game. And maybe it looks like the Jameis Winston who, granted, there are always a lot of turnover worthy throws and actual turnovers with Jameis Winston at quarterback. But he has gone nuclear at times in recent years when he's had these little starting stints. He made Jerry Judy and David Njoku look like superstars when he was in Cleveland for a while. We might get a 360 yard game from Jameis this week with four touchdowns and three interceptions.
Like it it's wild. So this could conceivably be good for some of the guys he plays with.
Erickson, just as an aside real quick, if somebody lost Jackson Dart and yeah, I I like, do you think if you're doing in a standard twelve team, let's say there's like fifteen to sixteen quarterbacks that are taken, uh Are you gonna advocate to play more streamers, assuming a majority of the under 50% guys are just kind of readily available? Or do you think you would lock into somebody? And I will give you some names. Looking on fantasy pros at the consensus rank, which is like a Yahoo ESPN combination, under 50% quarterbacks, you have Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, those are your top two. Darnold is still floating. Now out there, but then Malik Willis, Daniel Jones. I think those are kind of your top four quarterbacks that would probably be readily available under fifty percent.
Would you advocate and lock into one of those players?
