Let’s move forward and see what’s available in Week 3.
Minshew’s been one of the stunners of the young season, leading the NFL with a 77.5% completion rate. This comes on the heels of a lousy summer, when he completed just 48.5% of his attempts, largely against backup defenses and vanilla schemes. WR Davante Adams and TE Brock Bowers look like two of the ADP steals of the 2024 fantasy season.
Now the Raiders welcome the Panthers, a plus matchup. Benched quarterback Bryce Young is the biggest scapegoat in Carolina and deservedly so, but the Carolina defense hasn’t stopped much (24th in defensive DVOA, 26th against the pass). Make room for The Mustache.
Washington’s pass defense has been the biggest sieve in the league since the beginning of the 2023 season. We mentioned Jones landing at QB6 last week, and Baker Mayfield was the QB2 in the season opener. Cincinnati obviously played a lousy game in its opening-week loss to New England, but the Bengals outplayed Kansas City last week and probably deserved a win. Cincinnati can kick the door down Monday against Washington. Joe Burrow is primed for his best game of the year, with the Bengals carrying a 27.3 implied team total.
