QB Notes: Heading into the highest-totaled sport of the season to this point (56), Russell Wilson has 9 touchdowns and 11 incompletions. He’s finishing 82.5 p.c of his passes and averaging 9.7 yards per try. If he managed 5 touchdowns on the Patriots, 2018 Patrick Mahomes solely is aware of what he’ll do to the Cowboys. … As Davis Mattek put it on Twitter, “the Ravens being this good is a catastrophe for Lamar Jackson’s fantasy worth.” Fortunately for Jackson managers, the Ravens lastly have an opponent extra their very own measurement for Week 3. Which means Jackson would possibly truly should throw within the second half. Permitting 8.7 yards per try by two video games, the Chiefs are headed to Baltimore for a Monday evening tilt with a 54 over/underneath. … Opposing Jackson might be Patrick Mahomes, who wakened from his sleepy begin within the second half in opposition to the Chargers, heating up his reference to Tyreek Hill whereas repeatedly burning the Bolts with scrambles. Hopefully the cobwebs have been knocked off. … Predictably ascending his second yr within the league, Kyler Murray enters Week Three because the QB4 by common factors. His reward is a Lions Protection that hardly even bothers to take the sector.
The most important fantasy effort by any quarterback to this point this season was Dak Prescott’s 46.Three factors in opposition to the Falcons. The Seahawks are permitting 415 passing yards per sport by two contests. That isn’t a typo. … Main in complete fantasy factors is Josh Allen. How is he doing it? By blowing away his effectivity numbers from 2018-19. As Mike Clay factors out, Allen’s YPA has gone from 6.5 and 6.7 to 9.0. For completion share, it’s 53 and 59 to 70. For “off-target throw share” it’s 23 and 22 to 16. In fact, this got here in opposition to arguably the 2 worst groups within the league, the Jets and Dolphins. The Rams, who made life depressing for Dak Prescott and Carson Wentz, are a a lot stiffer check. … Cam Newton notched the second most rush makes an attempt of his profession in Week 1 and adopted it up together with his third most passing yards in Week 2, the place he discovered slot man Julian Edelman for a career-high 179 yards. Newton has 4 dashing scores in two video games. It’s not truthful how straightforward the Patriots make issues look. Drew Brees may not realize it, however Newton has a smash spot within the Raiders.
Matt Ryan has picked up the place he left off earlier than final season’s high-ankle sprain, supporting three receivers as he lights up the stat sheet. The Bears are providing stiffer aerial resistance than Seattle and Dallas, however Ryan’s ground is simply too excessive to fade any additional. … Matthew Stafford is getting Kenny Golladay (hamstring) again simply in time to duel with Kyler Murray within the desert. Stafford remained aggressive even with out his alpha, putting high 10 in each common supposed air yards and Subsequent Gen Stats’ “aggressiveness” metric amongst quarterbacks to begin each Weeks 1 and a pair of. The over/underneath in Phoenix is sitting at an astronomical 55. … Ben Roethlisberger was not at his greatest in Weeks 1 and a pair of and was nonetheless rattling good. As his arm rounds into type, it’s discovering a brand new alpha possibility in Diontae Johnson alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster. He simply wants the Texans to maintain a sport aggressive for as soon as. … The “warpath” is the one phrase for the place Aaron Rodgers has been. By means of two weeks, his common supposed air yards is at 9.6, good for second amongst QBs to play each weeks to completion. The Saints would appear to be ripe for the choosing after making Derek Carr appear like Peyton Manning, however they’re heading again to the Superdome, the place Rodgers might be lacking Davante Adams (hamstring). Adams’ well being will decide Rodgers’ last rank.
Merely the QB15 in common factors by two begins, Deshaun Watson has yet one more brutal matchup within the Steelers. The schedule eases up in Weeks Four and 5 with the Vikings and Jaguars, respectively. … It was one other inconclusive effort for Tom Brady in a great spot in opposition to the Panthers. For Week 3, he’ll lastly have Chris Godwin and Mike Evans at full well being on the identical time. Brady wants to indicate extra vs. the Broncos’ short-handed protection. … The one non-Russell Wilson quarterback to throw for no less than three touchdowns in Weeks 1 and a pair of? Gardner Minshew, who now will get a Dolphins Protection that might be lacking Byron Jones (groin). It’s arduous to not view this rating as a gimmick, however the Dolphins are allowing an inconceivable 10.6 yards per try after dates with Cam Newton and Josh Allen. … Using excessive off play-action and spreading the ball round as a lot as any quarterback, Jared Goff will get a tricky Week Three highway check within the Payments. If he might be tempting to begin considering “QB1” if Goff aces this task, however the Rams’ run-heavy methods may curb his upside.
It was 2019 another time for Ryan Tannehill in Week 2, as he generated 4 touchdowns on solely 24 makes an attempt vs. the Jaguars. The pathetic Vikings are one other smash alternative for Week 3, although the Titans may find yourself following the Colts’ blueprint and making an attempt 40 rushes. … Carson Wentz has been straight up dangerous by two weeks. The Bengals, who simply evacuated Baker Mayfield from Dunkirk, are hoping they’ve the antidote for that. … Drew Brees’ arm power, which was already noticeably diminished in 2019, is noticeably diminished on 2019. The brief arms made it straightforward to overlook the truth that he nonetheless generated 312 yards and averaged 8.2 yards per try in Las Vegas, however no Michael Thomas goes to make it tough to wager on Brees’ more and more restricted upside. … Joe Burrow truly leads the league in “anticipated fantasy factors.” That may occur when you might have 97 makes an attempt by two video games. My QB1 optimism can be larger if not for the Bengals’ line. … I can’t imagine this, however the Falcons’ essentially-nonexistent move protection retains Mitchell Trubisky QB2 related. … Philip Rivers might be free to cover behind the Colts’ dashing assault for an additional week vs. the laughingstock Jets. … Derek Carr by no means provides ceiling, however his ground is wanting reputable. … I’m a Justin Herbert skeptic, however you needed to come away impressed in case you watched Sunday’s spot begin. The Panthers are the matchup.

Week Three Working Backs
RB Notes: There will not be going to be too many video games the place Ezekiel Elliott will get vultured thrice by Dak Prescott. Zeke has a stunning setup in a assured shootout with the Seahawks. … It’s been a irritating two weeks for Derrick Henry, however the Titans’ dedication is unsurprisingly by the roof. Henry is first in carries (56) and second in dashing yards (200). Now he will get a Vikings Protection that might be drained after getting run on 40 instances in Week 2 and is undermanned after shedding Anthony Barr. … Alvin Kamara was the largest beneficiary within the Saints’ Michael Thomas-less offense, turning a team-high 9 targets into 9/95 whereas supplying 13/79/2 on the bottom. His outlook is enhanced as a three-point residence favourite in a sport with a 52.5 over/underneath. … The Colts put their offense on Jonathan Taylor’s again in opposition to the Vikings. There may be each purpose to imagine they’ll accomplish that once more vs. the scarily-bad Jets. … Refusing to regress, Aaron Jones leads the league in dashing and yards per carry amongst working backs whereas discovering the tip zone 4 instances in two video games. Even for powerful matchups like this week’s with the Saints, his case now not must be made.
Getting back from a soft-tissue harm behind an offensive line lacking each guards vs. a tricky protection, Miles Sanders was a lot crisper than I used to be anticipating in Week 2. He has a mouthwatering matchup vs. a Bengals run D that simply obtained detonated for 35/215/Three by Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. … Josh Jacobs’ 52 carries are second solely to Derrick Henry. That might be put to the check in a contest the place the Raiders are working as six-point highway ‘canines. It additionally doesn’t take a rocket scientist to infer that grasp game-planner Invoice Belichick might be particularly keyed in on Jacobs and Darren Waller. … Kareem Hunt’s 29 explosive touches have been an actual downside for Nick Chubb, although he nonetheless cashed in his superb Week 2 matchup. The Washington Soccer Workforce is a a lot stiffer problem up entrance. Chubb managers can hold their hat on the Browns being landing residence favorites. Something underneath 15 carries can be beautiful, whereas 20-plus is firmly in play. … Completely destroyed on the bottom by the primary two weeks, the Panthers might be rolling out the pink carpet for Austin Ekeler, whose targets elevated from one to 4 with Justin Herbert underneath heart.
Off to a sluggish begin, Kenyan Drake has a get-right spot in a Lions “run protection” permitting 204 yards per sport and 6.5 yards per carry. Matt Patricia is a joke. … Sabotaged by the Vikings’ off-the-rails passing assault in Weeks 1 and a pair of, Dalvin Prepare dinner now finds himself as a 2.5-point residence underdog vs. the Titans. Coach Mike Vrabel’s protection has no less than been mushy in opposition to the run, coughing up over 5.Zero yards per carry regardless of dealing with a pair of unimposing backfields. … No matter they injected into James Conner’s ankle did the trick. The Texans are welcoming any and all comers on the bottom. … The Ravens got here out of matchups with David Johnson and Nick Chubb allowing the fewest working again fantasy factors, placing Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the RB1/2 borderline for Week 3. … Although Joe Mixon has been ceding a variety of passing downs to Giovani Bernard, his workload has largely been effective. It’s his offensive line that is still the largest concern. Recreation circulation may go south in a rush in Philly. … The Cowboys haven’t been fairly as flammable on the bottom as by the air, whereas Chris Carson is shedding just a few too many snaps to Carlos Hyde and Travis Homer to power his method into the RB1 combine for this shootout.
As anticipated, Todd Gurley is wanting like a textbook workload-based RB2. … It’s now not doable to depart James Robinson out of the RB2 ranks, particularly in opposition to a predictably mushy Dolphins run protection surrendering over 5.Zero yards per carry within the early going. … Mike Davis seems poised to slip in because the Panthers’ 1-for-1 alternative for Christian McCaffrey. It’s a disgrace it’s for such a tough matchup within the Chargers, however at the same time as a 6.5-point highway ‘canine, Davis is all however assured to achieve 15 touches. … There might be no 1-for-1 alternative for Saquon Barkley in New York, solely Week Three chaos. Free agent addition Devonta Freeman is the heavy favourite to steer the G-Males’s post-Barkley committee, however he’s uncertain to be as much as conditioning/playbook velocity vs. the 49ers. Dion Lewis is an uninspiring FLEX, with Wayne Gallman roughly off the radar. Freeman is a hail mary FLEX. … Good: Melvin Gordon has the Broncos’ backfield to himself. Dangerous: With the Broncos lacking Drew Lock and Courtland Sutton, a Bucs protection allowing simply 2.9 yards per carry by dates with Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey might be free to load up the field.
Leonard Fournette has dispatched Ronald Jones with excessive prejudice. … With Cam Akers (ribs) uncertain and Malcolm Brown (damaged finger) extremely questionable, Darrell Henderson is wanting like a plug-and-play RB2 for a tricky date with the Payments. … Antonio Gibson has been rising to the event in Washington’s backfield, impressing the teaching employees. Week 1 nuisance Peyton Barber obtained all of 1 Week 2 contact. … Out-touching Zack Moss 26-20, Devin Singletary’s snap share is 57 to the rookie’s 45. Moss can be battling a toe difficulty. …. 15 carries are all however assured for Bolts 1B again Joshua Kelley vs. the Panthers’ horrendous run protection. … The 49ers have entrusted Jerick McKinnon with solely 9 touches by two weeks. That quantity ought to no less than double with Raheem Mostert (knee) and Tevin Coleman (knee) on the shelf, however Jeff Wilson figures to take in many of the work on early downs because the Niners keep away from forcing the problem with their fragile third-down again. … It’s regarding that Mark Ingram has not piled up extra work throughout back-to-back blowouts. Coach John Harbaugh appears to be following by on his pledge of a full-blown committee. Ingram does have an enhanced Week Three scoring outlook in a probable shootout vs. the Chiefs’ subpar run D. … Myles Gaskin has reached seven carries and 4 catches in 2-of-2 video games. If you happen to should begin a Dolphins again, that is the one.
Week Three Receivers
WR Notes: Devouring targets as a weaponized Julian Edelman for Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins has a golden spot vs. a Lions’ protection that solely exists in response to NASA calculations. It has by no means been noticed by the bare eye. … Tyreek Hill lastly snapped his common season droop in Los Angeles, scoring a diving 54-yard landing vs. the Chargers. The Ravens are the hardest of matchups, however there may be not a protection within the league that has a solution for Hill’s deep sport. … Davante Adams (hamstring) seems on the mistaken aspect of questionable for the Packers’ notoriously conservative medical employees. … The Seahawks have allowed 50 receptions for 731 yards and two touchdowns to receivers by two video games. That isn’t a misprint. I needed to double examine. Amari Cooper, in the meantime, has gone no less than 6/80 on 9 targets every day out. Behind Cooper, each Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb are within the WR2 combine. … Opposing the Cowboys’ triplets might be DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, who examine in because the WRs seven and 16, respectively, by common factors in half-PPR leagues. The Cowboys’ move protection has supplied barely extra resistance than Seattle’s however is clearly a unit to assault with a full power in a sport with a 56 over/underneath. That’s rarefied NFL air.
Are you pointing and laughing as a result of I nonetheless have Julio Jones ranked forward of Calvin Ridley? That’s completely truthful. Sooner or later, these conditions — an alpha wideout’s over-the-top defensive consideration liberating up layups for his teammates — are inclined to appropriate themselves, however Ridley now has as many scores over his previous 31 video games (21) as Jones does in his previous 60. Maybe Julio’s pins are endlessly doomed to be knocked down by another person. … Now we have but to see a wholesome Mike Evans and Chris Godwin take the sector on the identical time for Tom Brady. Godwin higher suits Brady’s historic M.O., however Brady had little bother liberating Evans for a 100-yard sport after coach Bruce Arians virtually ordered one. I’ll give Godwin every week to knock the rust off. … Had been it not for the Seahawks, the Falcons can be permitting 78 extra passing yards per sport than every other crew. Mitchell Trubisky is just not Russell Wilson or Dak Prescott, however there will not be any scary monsters on the opposite aspect of Allen Robinson’s Week Three door. … 84 of Terry McLaurin’s 125 Week 2 yards got here after the catch. The prophecy is coming true.
We all know Adam Thielen has goal carte blanche on this offense, however Week 2 vividly illustrated the risks of relying of wideouts in dangerous offenses. There might be peaks, and there might be valleys. … D.J. Moore predictably bounced again from his down Week 1. Much less predictably, Robby Anderson didn’t come again all the way down to earth, as soon as once more having a 100-yard day. If Anderson stays at 8-10 targets per sport, there isn’t a method it doesn’t ding Moore’s weekly WR1 standing with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback. As for Anderson, he has our WR3 consideration, even in a bottom-basement matchup with the Chargers. … The Ravens didn’t get a aggressive sport in Week 2, so Marquise Brown didn’t get his targets. The Chiefs are a Monday evening eruption spot. … Stefon Diggs is tied for the league lead in yards (239). Even heading into a tricky matchup with Jalen Ramsey, I’ve to place some respect on the person’s identify. … Is JuJu Smith-Schuster nonetheless the Steelers’ No. 1 receiver? Diontae Johnson leads Pittsburgh in targets, catches, receiving yards and air yards. JuJu does have the benefit in routes run and touchdowns. The Texans are a splendid matchup for each.
Kenny Golladay (hamstring) is nearing his 2020 debut. Observe reviews will decide his last rankings resting place. Patrick Peterson is now not a matchup to concern. … Will Fuller, what are you able to even say? Even in a tricky matchup, you continue to should belief in his week-winning capacity. … Odell Beckham has by no means had momentum as a Brown. The Washington Soccer Workforce will do its greatest to lastly present it. … I want to get Keenan Allen larger in such a pristine matchup, nevertheless it’s arduous to wager on his upside over that of the gamers forward of him. … That was actually completely different, Julian Edelman. The Patriots are going full wild man on offense. Regardless of what Drew Brees would have you ever imagine, the Raiders are exploitable deep. … Particularly heading into a tricky matchup with the Payments, I mainly really feel like I would like a minute with Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp. With Jared Goff spreading the ball round greater than ever, Woods is averaging 6.5 targets, Kupp 5.5. … T.Y. Hilton is one other participant I’m urgent pause on. Sure, the matchup is wonderful, nevertheless it’s tough to check the Colts making an attempt fewer than 35 rushes. A drop machine to this point — together with a 44-yard landing vs. the Vikings — Hilton at present checks in as Professional Soccer Focus’ No. 80 receiver.
One spot forward of Hilton is A.J. Inexperienced, who regarded like one of many worst beginning receivers within the league final week. Behind on conditioning, it’s doable Inexperienced was simply out of types after an early huge fall had him in ache. Darius Slay received’t make life simpler this weekend. … D.J. Chark has solely seven targets by two video games. That fever will break, however the Jaguars’ targets rotation is larger than anticipated. With Chark battling a chest harm forward of TNF, I’m hitting pause on his WR2 rank as I wait on extra info. … With Sterling Shepard (toe) again on the shelf, Darius Slayton will get a WR3 mulligan vs. the Richard Sherman-less (amongst many others) 49ers. … With Jalen Reagor (thumb) out indefinitely, the time for DeSean Jackson to have a 10-target sport is now. Week Three opponent William Jackson III is able to creating slightly havoc. … N’Keal Harry’s 12 Week 2 targets are actually price taking discover of. …The WR4 ranks are large enough for the 2 of Jerry Jeudy and Ok.J. Hamler, however the Bucs are a tough matchup for fill-in QB Jeff Driskel. … It seems there may be extra life in Tre’Quan Smith’s bat than Emmanuel Sanders’.
Week Three Tight Ends
TE Notes: Lopsided scores have restricted Mark Andrews to 9 targets by two video games. That modifications in opposition to Travis Kelce and the Chiefs this Monday. … George Kittle (knee) seems unlikely to return for Week Three over considerations with MetLife Stadium’s atrocious turf. Jordan Reed stays a plug-and-play TE2 coming off final week’s eight-target, two-score outburst. … Darren Waller’s 24 targets are 4 greater than every other tight finish. It’s price noting that he’s solely averaging 8.2 yards per catch. He has additionally caught the eye of Week Three opponent Invoice Belichick, who mentioned it’s “been a very long time since we’ve seen a man like this.” You possibly can guess which Raider might be a degree of emphasis for BB’s protection. … Jared Prepare dinner managed a landing in his quiet Week 2. Regardless of his down evening in Las Vegas, Prepare dinner stays a very good wager to hog targets for the Saints’ Michael Thomas-less offense in a Packers tilt with a 52.5 over/underneath. … Hunter Henry has gone no less than 5/70 on eight targets in every of his first two video games regardless of enjoying with completely different quarterbacks. The Panthers’ protection is mushy up the seam (in addition to in all places).
It has not been fairly for Zach Ertz, who has been out-produced by Dallas Goedert whereas his youthful teammate attracts a better goal share. There may be nonetheless an opportunity that is early-season statistical noise, nevertheless it’s a continuation of a development that started within the second half of 2019. The one purpose Ertz isn’t getting light farther for Week Three is an A+ matchup with the Bengals. His total workload (14 targets) additionally stays sturdy for a decent finish. … As for Goedert, he’s a clear-cut top-10 possibility in an offense that simply came upon it has misplaced Jalen Reagor (thumb) till no less than Week 10. … The quantity hasn’t fairly been there for Tyler Higbee within the Rams’ deep offense, however Gerald Everett has not been a priority. Enjoying at lower than 100 p.c, Everett has two complete targets. … The quantity has been there for Evan Engram. It received’t be going wherever in an offense out of the blue much more reliant on the move. … Coming off a profession effort and enjoying 79 p.c of his snaps within the slot, Mike Gesicki has a dream matchup in a Jags protection that badly misplaced the battle for the seam in Week 2 vs. Jonnu Smith.
T.J. Hockenson has posted no less than 56 yards in back-to-back video games. Now it’s a flow-chart week vs. the Cardinals’ ever-leaky tight finish protection. … Jonnu Smith was a Week 2 monster. With A.J. Brown (knee) nonetheless sidelined, Smith will get extra alternatives vs. the Vikings’ out of the blue Anthony Barr-less protection. … Week 2 was extra prefer it for Hayden Hurst, however the Falcons have their first powerful matchup of the yr within the Bears. Hurst has additionally been out-targeted each weeks by No. Three receiver Russell Gage. If that continues, will probably be a tricky method to make a TE1 dwelling. … Noah Fant appears to be like like a rattling beast and might be desperately wanted in Courtland Sutton’s absence. The Bucs are merely a horrible Week Three matchup. … Logan Thomas is averaging a working back-esque 7.9 yards per catch, however solely Kelce and Waller have extra targets amongst tight ends. … I don’t assume I overestimated how badly the Jets want Chris Herndon, however I apparently didn’t account sufficient for a way actually terrible Gang Inexperienced is. … Mo Alie-Cox could be streamed one other week vs. the Jets. … Dalton Schultz’s Week 2 quantity is price a flier in one of many league’s highest-flying offenses. Drew Pattern’s Week 2 quantity is price a flier in an offense whose safety points will proceed to power the ball out rapidly.
