Atlanta Defense or Shedeur Sanders: who should I start in Week 3?

Their 2025 seasons
The season feed carries no line for Atlanta Defense in the last completed season.
In 2025 Shedeur Sanders played 8 games and scored 94.9 PPR points, 11.9 a game, finishing QB37.
He threw for 1400 yards on 212 attempts with 7 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and ran for 169 yards and 1 touchdown.
That came to 26.5 attempts a game at 6.6 yards an attempt.
He was on the field for 60 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Side by side
Atlanta Defense is a defense and Shedeur Sanders a quarterback, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
