DFS Week 3

[I_am_1z]

QB - Lamar Jackson. Going up against a terrible Browns LB unit, plus Greedy and Johnson are out this game.
RB - Boston Scott. Should see plenty of targets with Wentz probably getting sacked numerous times by the Football Team.
RB - Josh Jacobs. Healthy OL, healthy Jacobs, might get more targets this year. Would take him over the likes of CMC this week.
WR - DJ Moore. Damon Arnette is likely in a cast this week. Need two hands to tackle DJ (YAC specialist). I would say the same about Curiis Samuel, but I'm afraid Robby Anderson will steal a good portion of his snaps.
WR - DK Metcalf. Falcons have a terrible secondary and AJ Terrell has a hammy issue.
WR - MVS. Rodgers has been talking him up a bunch. Apparently, last year injuries really hampered him. For now, he's healthy.
TE - Zach Ertz. Again, Wentz will be finding his safety blankets all day.
FLEX - Mark Andrews. CBs, S are injured for the browns and LBs can't cover.
DEF - Miami. Who knows what this Patriots team can do...But the Dolphins have two of the best CBs in the league now. For the price, as long as it's not a high scoring game, the Dolphins should hit value.

I also went with Scott and Moore. In daily and on my actual fantasy team to go along with Ekeler (handcuffed Sanders). Kick in the crotch this week.

It's crazy that Ertz and Scott didn't see more targets. I knew Washington would get to Wentz, but I think he fell in love with the deep ball.

DJ Moore was ridiculously bad. I was certain he'd be able to whatever he wanted against this Raiders defense.

I think Scott got hurt at some point, though I'm not sure when. Agreed on Moore. I was shocked he wasn't better. If Golladay wasn't hurt, I probably would have started Moore over Smith-Schuster in my league. That would have been devastating. I still started Moore, of course, but no real regrets as I didn't have anyone better.

QB - Tyrod Taylor. Obviously, the Chiefs can put up a lot of points which means there will be a lot of passing for the opposing team. Tyrod has weapons in Ekler, Henry, Allen, and Williams. Their CB, Ward has already been ruled out along with Okefor, their DE. This is a look ahead spot for the Chiefs since they'll be taking on the Ravens on MNF week 3.
RB - Austin Ekeler. Again, Chargers should be passing the ball a lot but also give up a lot of yards on the ground. Last year, Ekeler had 17 receptions in two games vs. the Chiefs.
RB - David Montgomery. Giants defense is playing uninspired football. I expect a decent day from Montgomery. Additionally, Giants are playing on 6 days rest.
WR - Anthony Miller. Again, picking on the Giants. Darnay Holmes might be the worst CB I've ever seen in the NFL. According to NFL Twitter, Miller should see the most snaps against him.
WR - Julio Jones. Only needs three receptions to break Roddy Whites' franchise record. Cowboys defense had trouble containing Robert Woods who gained 89 yards after the catch. A motivated Julio here could be big.
WR - Diontae Johnson. AJ Bouye is out for Denver. Denver's secondary is underwhelming. Johnson IS the BEST WR on the Steelers.
TE - Hayden Hurst. Cowboy's secondary have their hands full and their best cover LB is out.
FLEX - Aaron Jones. Should be pretty chalky since he's going up against a defense that just allowed Trubisky to stage a 4th quarter comeback. Packers should get the lead and run the ball the rest of the way.
DEF - Bears. Giants' OL is going to get wrecked again. Daniel Jones is a fumble waiting to happen.

Pivot play

swap WR Diontae Johnson for Davante Adams. Banged up Lions secondary going up against an elite WR.
swap FLEX Aaron Jones for Adam Humphries. Corey Davis tweaked his hammy during the MNF game (I guess). Only logged one full practice which was the Friday walkthrough. AJ Brown is out.

I actually have more faith in the pivot.

And tyrod is benched.

Unbelievable

Last week could have been a lot more profitable if medical staff didn't partially collapse his lung before the game! My biggest regret was starting Julio Jones after seeing him pop up mid week on the injury report with something hammy related.

QB - Kirk Cousins. Get use to it. Based on the Titans and Vikings having banged up secondaries, I think this is the highest scoring game of the slate.
RB - Miles Sanders. Bengals run game doesn't stand a chance without Geno Atkins apparently.
RB - Derrick Henry. King Henry finally gets into the endzone today and I expect it happening multiple times. There will be so many RZ opportunities in this game.
WR - Adam Thielen. Nickel CB, Chris Jackson is out for the Titans. Thielen lines up a lot in the slot. Malcolm Bulter should still be feeling the affects from a lingering quad injury. Then their next man, Jonathan Joseph, is 36 this year.
WR - Darius Slayton. Regardless of how well Saleh can scheme, there's no DB stopping those high point passes which are a specialty of Slayton's. Giants are desperate to get Daniel Jones going and the 49ers are taking this game lightly based on early injury news.
WR - KJ Hamler. He might be the #1 option for Jeff Driskel. Jerry Jeudy is a game time decision and Noah Fant should be receiving plenty of double teams. According to NFL Twitter, KJ was open all day last week against the Steelers.
TE - Drew Sample. Let's eat chalk. Burrow likes throwing to his TEs and Bengals like seeing Burrow throwing.
FLEX - DeAndre Hopkins. I wanted to fade this game as much as possible, but Hopkins is locked in and with Christian Kirk being out, he might see even more targets.
DEF - Colts. Jets are even more injured than they were last weekend. They're basically going into this game with their C-team offense.

QB - Watson
RB - Dalvin Cook
RB - Zeke
WR - Davante Parker
WR - Brandin Cooks
WR - John Brown
TE - Sample
Flex - D. Henderson

No notes due to post being after 1pm

Had a lot of Drake, Henderson, and Lockett in DK. Big time busts in really good spots.

[CrimsonCrew]

My fantasy league team got trucked this week, despite playing against a team that had Tannehill, Conner, Henry, and James White. Ekeler, Lockett, Henderson, Sanders, Gesicki (Jonnu Smith on the bench). Mixon was on my bench, though I'd still be trailing by 40 with Matt Ryan going tonight. Ugh.
