Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

  • πŸš€ Ty'Son Williams is highlighted as a "Start of the Week" due to a favorable matchup against Detroit, despite being in a timeshare.
  • πŸ’‘ Daniel Jones is considered a viable starting option due to his rushing ability and a decent matchup against the Falcons, though concerns remain about the Giants' offense.
  • ⚠️ Kareem Hunt is flagged as a player to avoid due to inconsistent scoring and a potential tough matchup against the Bears' defense.

Buy Low, Sell High, and Trade Targets

  • πŸ“ˆ Robert Woods is suggested as a potential buy-low target, with the possibility of trading Mike Williams for him.
  • πŸ“‰ Aaron Jones is seen as a potential upgrade over Ezekiel Elliott, especially in current rankings, though concerns about Elliott's usage and potential for big plays from backup running backs are noted.
  • 🧐 The trade of Sterling Shepard for Clyde Edwards-Helaire is considered a good move for the Shepard owner.

News and Injury Updates

  • 🦠 Antonio Brown is on the reserve COVID list, making his participation in the upcoming game unlikely, which could impact Mike Evans' matchup against Jalen Ramsey.
  • πŸ€• Several key players are dealing with injuries, including Andy Dalton (starter for now), Derek Carr (playing), Carson Wentz (chance to play), Ben Roethlisberger (likely playing), Dalvin Cook (missed practice), Alexander Mattison (available), Darrell Henderson (missed practice), Trey Sermon (concussion protocol), and Elijah Mitchell (missed practice).
  • πŸ₯ De'Andre Hopkins missed practice with rib injuries, raising questions about Rondale Moore and Christian Kirk's fantasy value if Hopkins is out.

Week 3 Tough Calls and Matchup Previews

  • πŸ€” Justin Fields is considered the biggest wild card of the week, with potential for a huge game but also high variance, making him a strong DFS play.
  • πŸ“Š Ryan Tannehill is a borderline starter against Indianapolis, with concerns about his history against the Colts but potential for a get-right game.
  • πŸƒ Damien Harris is a strong start despite the Saints' run defense, due to the Patriots' identity and expected game script.
  • 🎯 Rondale Moore is a popular waiver wire pick with significant upside, especially if De'Andre Hopkins is limited.
  • 🏈 The Chargers vs. Chiefs game is expected to be a high-scoring shootout, with most players from both teams considered startable except for Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who remains a low-end starter despite fumbles.
  • πŸ“‰ The Dolphins' offensive line is a major concern, making it difficult to trust their wide receivers against the Raiders' improved pass rush.
