Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 3
Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books and the wide receiver position was a little unpredictable. Out of all the wide receivers referenced in last week's wide receiver matchup article, Terry McLaurin finished as WR-4, Mike Evans was WR-5 and Diontae Johnson was WR-6, so we were alright with those calls. Mitchell Trubisky […]

Fantasy Football Booms and Busts - Week 3
Fantasy football players have learned a lot through two weeks of the 2020 NFL season.

NFL Betting Picks For Week 3 (9/27/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads
Week 2 brought along one of the worst, in terms of injuries, that we've seen in a long time. It didn't quite affect my picks, but Christian McCaffrey going down definitely made things hard for Carolina down the stretch. Green Bay almost hit the over themselves, so that was an easy cash. Then Sunday Night […]

Evaluating Early Air Yard Data - Week 3
Air yards are becoming a more commonly used statistic for fantasy football purposes. Popularized by Josh Hermsmeyer, who developed metrics like RACR (receiver air conversion ratio) and WOPR (weighted opportunity rating), it is a useful way to dig deeper into receiver performance beyond just targets, receptions, and yards gained. Statistics like Mike Clay's aDoT (average […]
Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3
Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3
Whew, that was a rough day of football. It seemed like we just watched an endless parade of injuries all day. It wasn't quite as rough for wide receivers as it was for other positions. But while your No. 1 waiver claim this week might not end up being a wide receiver, that doesn't mean […]
D'Andre Swift Could Surprise Against Cardinals
Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift will go up against a Cardinals Defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing backs through two weeks. It has been a less-than-ideal start to the rookie's career, missing most of training camp and then dropping a game-winning touchdown against the Bears in Week 1. But Swift […]
Adrian Peterson Already Losing Fantasy Luster
Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson will try and hold onto the starter's role in Week 3 against the Cardinals. After posting 93 rushing yards in Week 1, that number fell to 41 last week while splitting carries with teammates Kerryon Johnson and D'Andre Swift. The Lions running backs, however, will have a favorable matchup […]
Marvin Jones Jr. Lacks Fantasy Appeal
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. will try and jump-start a Lions offense in Week 3 against the Cardinals. Jones Jr. has struggled to fill in for injured teammate Kenny Golladay, posting only 78 receiving yards with one touchdown in two games. The Lions will face a Cardinals Defense that has allowed the fewest […]
Matthew Stafford Could Bounce Back In Week 3
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford could surprise in fantasy heading into the team's Week 3 matchup against the Cardinals.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round
An injury-laden Week 2 serves as yet another reminder that health is precious, and that skipping preseason is not ideal.

Week 2 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!
In Week 2, the quarterback position was fairly predictable as Dak Prescott, Cam Newton, Josh Allen, Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray finished in the top-five with Matt Ryan and Patrick Mahomes finishing as QB-6 and QB-7, respectively. The main surprise from Week 2 was Lamar Jackson's modest performance, barely finishing inside the top-20 as the […]
Kerryon Johnson Finds The End Zone In Week 2
Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson led the Detroit backfield in carries and scored a rushing touchdown in a 42-21 loss to the Packers in Week 2.

Marvin Jones Jr. Musters Only 23 Yards
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. caught only four passes for 23 yards in the Lions disappointing 42-21 loss to the Packers in Week 2.
