Ranking the NFL Backup Quarterbacks Taking Over Due to Injury in Week 3

Quarterbacks are already dropping like flies just two weeks into the NFL season, with five teams set to start a different signal caller this weekend than they did in Week 1.

We already saw it in Week 2 with Mac Jones starting in place of Brock Purdy and Jake Browning coming in in relief for a turf-toed Joe Burrow. Now, heading into Week 3, Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor is taking over for Justin Fields (concussion), and the Vikings will trot out Carson Wentz in place of an injured J.J. McCarthy (ankle). Additionally, Jayden Daniels (knee) won't play for the Commanders this weekend—meaning Marcus Mariota is taking over the reins for Washington.
