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.

00:48Fantasy 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.

01:30Plus 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.

01:45Plus 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.

02:01A 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.

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

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?
