He has been one of the season's best surprise stories, and he could finish as a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in 2026.
Other surprise quarterback performances this season include Bryce Young, Kirk Cousins, and Deshaun Watson. Conversely, Drake Maye and Justin Herbert have significantly let us down, and we've had major injuries to Jaxson Dart (knee), Caleb Williams (hamstring), and Jayden Daniels (elbow). As we head into Week 4, you no longer have to start Maye or Herbert.
It's easy to pivot to Shough or Young, and I also like Marcus Mariota and Jacoby Brissett this week. Geno Smith, Kyler Murray, Sam Darnold, and Cousins are also options for Week 4. Those quarterbacks are either playing better than Maye or Herbert, or they have better matchups -- or both.
I'm hopeful things will improve for Maye and Herbert as the season progresses, but it's difficult to remain optimistic. For Maye, you can point to A.J. Brown (ankle) coming back, and maybe that just makes everything work in New England.
There's nothing on the horizon for Herbert, and you just have to hope that his talent -- and the talent around him -- starts playing better. You can read below how I feel about Maye and Herbert for Week 4, but you see where this is headed when it comes to starts and sits. Unfortunately, we may just be sitting Maye and Herbert for the rest of the season in most leagues.

He's now reached that total in two of three games this season, and we'll hopefully get a shootout between him and Joe Burrow in Week 4. This game has the highest projected total of the week at 51.5 points, and Cincinnati has allowed 645 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the past two games against C.J.
