00:00In fantasy football, quarterback injuries frequently necessitate a replacement.

00:05Managers scramble to find competent replacements when a quarterback is injured.

00:10These are referred to as waiver wire pickups or free agents.

00:14The objective is to acquire a quarterback who is capable of significant scoring while your starter is out.

00:21Who is hurt and why is it important?

00:23Some big names are down right now.

00:25For instance, Joe Burrow is out for months with a toe surgery.

00:31Justin Fields is recovering from a head injury.

00:36Jaden Daniels has a knee injury.

00:41JJ

00:42McCarthy likely won't play for a while due to an injured ankle.

00:48Fantasy owners need someone who can score points in the air

00:52and sometimes on the ground when those starters are unable to play.

00:56Why Daniel Jones is a top free agent option.

01:00Strong quarterback free agent Daniel Jones is standing out.

01:04Here are a few reasons.

01:05He's doing a good job.

01:07He has been producing fantasy points.

01:09Not just by passing, but by running too.

01:12In week one he scored with his legs.

01:15And in week two he threw for over 300 yards.

01:18Bleeding, cool, plus one.

01:20Upcoming matchups are good as team.

01:21The Colts has a friendly game on the schedule against the Titans.

01:25Soon, which means more chances for him to shine.

01:28ESPN.com

01:30Plus one.

01:31Lack of ownership.

01:33He hasn't yet been grabbed by many fantasy managers.

01:36Because of this, you will be able to get him before anyone else does.

01:41If he keeps this up, he could be a game changer.

01:43Bleacher Report.

01:45Plus one.

01:46Other QB options to watch.

01:48In addition to Daniel Jones, there are a few other quarterbacks fantasy managers might think about.

01:54Jake Browning, stepping in for Burrow.

01:56He has talent around him, but expect some risk.

02:00ESPN.com

02:01A veteran who is available in many leagues is Matthew Stafford.

02:05He might not explode in points every week, but he's a safer fallback.

02:10ESPN.com

02:11ESPN.com

02:11Mack Jones

02:13Filling in due to Brock Purdy's injury

02:15May be beneficial in the short term

02:19Things to consider before choosing

02:21When selecting a quarterback from the free agent pool

02:24Ask yourself

02:25How long is the injury to my regular starter?

02:29Only a game?

02:30Two?

02:30More?

02:31What kind of schedule does the replacement have coming up?

02:35It's hard because of strong defenses

02:37Does the QB have good receivers or running support?

02:40It helps to have more talent around him

02:43Is he receiving actual playing time and opportunities?

02:46Or is he merely a backup?

02:49Final word

02:49Daniel Jones appears to be one of the best free agents to acquire

02:54In the event that your fantasy starter is hurt or hurting

02:57He has been performing well, has favorable matchups

03:00And is not yet on many fantasy rosters

03:03Other QBs like Browning or Stafford can help too

03:07But Jones might be the one that swings things in your favor this week

03:10And will they be the one that swings things in the game on TGAIS?

03:12And is that unless everyone has a matchup you can remove this

03:21Without the names in the format

03:25But if you were wondering where TGA is you

03:27Oh do��ái

03:31Does that swing from the marksünde?
