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 […]

Samuel Sloman Should Be Avoided In Week 3
Los Angeles Rams kicker Samuel Sloman has been solid through two weeks, but he isn't a great option in Week 3. The Buffalo Bills feature one of the league's best defenses at all three levels, and they have the pass-rushers to take advantage of the Rams offensive line. The Rams have outperformed expectations thus far, […]
Fade The Rams Defense In Week 3
The Los Angeles Rams Defense has outperformed expectations through two weeks, but it might be time to go away from the well. The Buffalo Bills have been one of the league's best offenses through two weeks, and they can hurt you in multiple ways. They feature two solid running backs along with quarterback Josh Allen, […]
Tyler Higbee Should Be Started In Week 3
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is unlikely to repeat his explosive performance from Week 2, but he should still be in your lineups in Week 3. Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White is going to be shadowing wide receiver Robert Woods, and that's going to open up targets for Higbee. He caught three touchdowns against […]
Robert Woods Has A Tough Matchup In Week 3
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods struggled in Week 2, and it wouldn't be surprising to see that continue in Week 3. He's expected to be shadowed by Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White, and that's a tough matchup for any wide receiver. The Rams will likely look towards their other receiving options to throw […]
Cooper Kupp Has A Chance For A Big Week 3
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been held in check through the first two weeks of the season, but he has a good chance to change his fortunes in Week 3. Kupp operates primarily out of the slot, and the Buffalo Bills have a weakness at corner after star Tre'Davious White. White is […]
Malcolm Brown Should Be Benched In Week 3
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (pinkie) had a great Week 1, but that feels like a lifetime ago after the performance teammate Darrell Henderson put up last week. While Brown relied on touchdowns, Henderson was putting up big plays. In addition to being outplayed by Henderson in Week 2, Brown is also dealing with […]
Cam Akers Could Miss Week 3
Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (rib) left Week 2 early with a rib injury, and he missed practice on Wednesday as a result. If he misses the game because of the injury, obviously you're not playing him. However, if he's active, Akers will be nothing more than an extremely risky RB3/flex in this […]
Darrell Henderson Jr. Could Be Lead Back In Week 3
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson lit it up in Week 2, but it's unclear what his role will be heading into Week 3. He contributed nothing in Week 1 and he looked as though he would be the backup in Week 2 prior to the injury to teammate Cam Akers. If Henderson is […]
Jared Goff Has Some Upside In Week 3
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff showed out in Week 2. He finished as the QB12 on the week, and he has the opportunity to do it again in Week 3. This offense is actively working to get the ball out of his hands quickly to his receivers, and it's working to a good amount […]
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. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]
Devonta Freeman Is Back! Fantasy Outlook in N.Y.
We are only two weeks into the 2020 NFL season and we've already seen some of the biggest studs in the game go down to injury. Michael Thomas went down with an injured ankle in Week 1 and in Week 2, the consensus top-two picks in fantasy drafts, Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley both went […]
The Cut List (Week 3) - Time to Let Go?
What a brutal week. If your team somehow managed to finish unscathed, lucky you.

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
After an abbreviated preseason with no games and irregular training routines, many expected to see a slew of injuries in the first week of action. Instead, it was Week 2 that inflicted devastating news to several NFL players and franchises, particularly running backs. In the fantasy world, the impact will be felt drastically for those […]
Malcolm Brown Has Surgery For Fractured Finger
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (pinkie) had surgery on Monday to repair the fractured left pinkie finger that he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Eagles. The Rams expect Brown to play in Week 3 against the Bills, however. Just as we expected, this Rams backfield has been tough to figure […]
Cam Akers Day-To-Day With Separated Rib
Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (rib) is being listed as day-to-day after separating rib cartilage in the Week 2 win over the Eagles. Akers had just three carries for 13 yards before suffering the injury last Sunday, but he should be OK going forward. However, the Rams are uncertain on Akers' status […]
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. Prior to SNF, we've seen the following offensive players injured to some degree: Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, Davante Adams, Raheem Mostert, Cam Akers, Courtland Sutton, Parris Campbell, Sterling Shepard, Breshad Perriman, Jimmy Garoppolo, Drew Lock, and […]
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 […]
