Fantasy Football Matchups to Target for Week 3 - Offensive Line Champs and Chumps

Thankfully for fantasy managers, offenses bounced back in Week 2 and gave us some high-scoring games.

Fantasy Football Tight End Preparation For Week 3

In half-PPR scoring, we have exactly two tight ends with more than 17 total points.

Darren Waller was limited in […]
