USA TODAY Sports' Week 3 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em column centers on injuries to Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels, both listed as Out, complicating quarterback decisions. Williams' Bears host Minnesota as 4.5-point favorites in a 46.5-point total; Daniels' Commanders visit Dallas as 3.5-point underdogs in a 51.5-point game.

Both quarterbacks are Out, so there is no start/sit decision here, only a replacement one. Williams put up 40.0 points in Week 1 and Daniels 19.3, and both are rostered in 100% of the field, which means the waiver quarterback you want is already gone in half your leagues. Neither is droppable at 338.9 and 345.0 point projections. Stream whoever is left, hold both, and stop refreshing the injury page.
