Week 3 2025 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (1 Viewer)

Tony pollard against the colts or jaylen warren against the patriots?
Warren had great usage last week for sure and, Kaleb may not be ready for the responsibilities of an NFL RB for awhile so, I do like Warren.

But I don't quite trust his usage, yet.

I am much more confident Pollard will see RB1 volume. I wish we had seen more targets to this point but, we know he can be effective as a receiver.

I have no problem with anyone choosing Warren here but, at least for one more week I go with

Pollard>Warren
 
RBs giving me some challenges.
Non ppr/ standard
Need one pls:
Monty @ Balt
Allgeier @ Carolina
Hubbard vs Atlanta
JCMerritt “Bill” vs Da Raiders

TIA

What is the argument for benching Hubbard? He's a top seven running back. Is Atlanta's defense suddenly so formidable that you don't start a top seven running back against them? I'm not buying it.

Allgeier is a backup, so is Monty they both have a decent shot at a touchdown. I'm not sure if they have a decent shot at much else. We don't know what JCM is right now, I think we were all expecting more but I understand why we haven't seen it yet.

Hubbard>Allgeier>Monty>JCM
 
PPR
League 1, pick one
Hollywood Brown @ Giants
Doubs @ Brown
Franklin @ Chargers
Tillman vs Packers

League 2, pick one
Diggs vs Pitts
Hopkins vs Det
Jacory (Bill) Croskey-Merrit vs Raiders
 
Well it's looking like Mariota is going to get the start this week vs. the Raiders.

Are you starting McLaurin over either Metcalf vs. Patriots or Jennings vs. Cards over him? 0.5 PPR.

That first one is a whole lot of similar arguments...

My impulse is Brown. The Chiefs are desperate for a win and they can't run well, even if I suspet Pacheco will have a solid game too. Kelce truly looks in decline and, even if he shows up I think Brown is the only other option in the passing game ATM. He won't see 16 targets again but 8-9 seem very reasonable. I expect another 35 or so passes from Mahomes.

Doubs would be my other choice because I expect the Packers to win handily. Problem is I could see a low volume, if high efficiency, passing day. Something similar to Josh Allen last night, although 3 TD passes is never a lock. The question is, with Kraft's status now uncertain, if Love only throws 26 times, will Doubs get 28% of the targets? Possibly.

I'm working hard to acquire Franklin for one of my teams before Sunday but, not to start him Sunday. That's a tough matchup and I have some concerns about his usage being a mirage.

Tillman is facing a wrecking ball of a defense and, the Browns distribute the ball a bunch.

Very, very close between Doubs and Brown... pretty much a coin flip and I will probably change my answer a few times before kickoff but, ATM

Doubs>Brown>Franklin>Tillman
==============================

I think I go with Hopkins for your second option. Obviously super low volume but, he's on a team that will likely finish top 3 in scoring. I give him the best chance at a TD of your options.

Diggs may start seeing a larger target share, then again he may be washed and what we've seen is reality. ATM we don't know.

Same with JCM. I just traded Worthy for him in redraft because of the perceived opportunity but, he's not seeing my lineup until I actually see him get some volume. Everyone assumes playing RB is plug-n-play in the NFL, it's not. Ask Ashton Jeanty or Kaleb Johnson, if JCM doesn't quite have his non-rushing assignments on lockdown, I wouldn't expect a ton of volume. We'll know more on Sunday. That being said, I might play him over Diggs who I am kind of down on.

Hopkins>JCM>Diggs
 
Well it's looking like Mariota is going to get the start this week vs. the Raiders.

Are you starting McLaurin over either Metcalf vs. Patriots or Jennings vs. Cards over him? 0.5 PPR.
To me it kinda depends on if Mac Jones is starting in San Francisco or not. It looks like he probably will and, it tentatively looks like he has eyes for Jauan.

It's a tough call no matter what. DK is solid but I think he's never been quite as good as his hype but, he's a fine play any week. McLaurin was fine with Mariota in two games last year and, it's a decent matchup. I learned from the BTJ thread that Trevor Lawrence sucks and BTJ was a significantly better player in Mac Jones's seven starts. Like, worlds better. Wish I had realized that before I drafted BTJ as my #1 WR this year. If Jones locks in on Jauan like he did last week, he feels like the smart play IMO.

Again, this is razor close and you probably can't logic your way to the "correct" answer.

Jauan>McLaurin>DK
 
PPR:

Chris Olave @ SEA
Dontavyon Wicks @ CLE

I have Olave in because of his seemingly guaranteed volume but, with Kraft's status now uncertain the Packers passing game may be a lot more condensed.


PPR:
Kyle Pitts @ CAR
Ja'Tavion Sanders v ATL

I have Pitts in but, he came up with a toe issue yesterday and, he hasn't shown much... ever. He's the Trevor Lawrence of TEs. The only thing I know about Ja'Tavion is he got 9 targets last week.
 
PPR league, at a WR spot,

T Higgins at MIN
Pittman vs TEN.

at superflex spot, PPR, with QBs getting 1 pt per 25 yds passing and 4 pts per passing TD
Warren @ NE
Penix @ Car

I am afraid ATL is going to run the ball a ton against CAR similar to last week.

at TE, PPR
Kelce @ NYG
Ferguson @ CHI
 
4 point per passing TD and I lost Daniels. Do I go with Penix (my backup) or do i grab Rodgers, Darnold or Browning? Im kinda leaning towards Browning
 
PPR for RB/WR and 1.5 PPR for TE. Need a flex:

Diggs vs PIT
C Austin @ NE
Njoku vs GB
Bateman vs DET
R White vs NYJ
Tough one for sure. Not sure what we can parse here... Generally speaking, in these situations I try to focus on players from teams I think will 1) win and 2) teams that score the most points. That's Baltimore and Tampa Bay here. Both White and Bateman have very sporadic usage. White gave us some hope last week with 12 touches but, he's still only on the field 30% of the time (last week was 31%). White is on the field 65% of the time has been targeted only 4 targets each game but, that offense puts up points and Lamar is not shy about going deep.

For the others Austin is a big play guy. His 9 career TDs come from an average distance of 34 yards. I would actually probably put him second in this group because while I think TB will win (and am not sure about Pitt), it's not a really prolific offense. You could make an argument for him first but, I'll back the Baltimore offense when in doubt.

Njoku is in an offense that has to pass but 1) Judkins may change that a little and 2) It seems like a crowded group of pass catchers.

Diggs... bores me. Maybe he is just rounding into form with NE and will take a bigger target share going forward. But, maybe he's washed.

These are all speculation plays so, pick who you want to watch or who your gut tells you is the guy. For me:

Bateman>Austin>White>Njoku>Diggs

Interesting. Last week Tee had 3 targets from Burrow in 21 minutes of game time going 2-14-0. He had 5 targets from Browning going 1-42-0. In 2023 he only played in 5 games with Browning, surrounded by injury on either side. His per game pace was 5 targets for 3-65-0.6. That 85-1,115-10 on a season. Not the best benchmark to judge it by but, it's all we have. I think Browning can be an effective enough passer and I question the Bengals commitment to and effectiveness of their run game.

Pittman is averaging 5-60-0.5 with Daniel Jones but, two games is a crappy sample size. Pittman has a better matchup but, so does Jonathan Taylor, I wonder if it is going to be a low volume passing day for the Colts.

Very tentatively:
Higgins>Pittman
=========================

I'm a lifelong SF player; I pretty much cannot savvy starting anything but a QB in a SF position. I get your logic and, if that's your gut then run with it. For me

Penix>Warren
==========================

I have been advocating to start Chiefs this week. I think they are so desperate for a win that they win pretty handily. I would prefer if they were actually as bad as they have been but, I can't wrap my brain around that idea as a reality.

I know people think this will be a high scoring game, the o/u is 49.5 (second only to the Lions/Balt game 53.5), but... I just don't know if Caleb Williams can sustain a true track meet type of game. I wonder if he starts going off script if the Bears score and the Cowboys come right back and force the Bears to have to do it again. I also think 50+ passes is an irregularity in the NFL and think Dak's output will likely be closer to 35 attempts.

Still, Kelce looks so washed... man this is a tough call. With little confidence and, subject to change...

Ferguson>Kelce
 
4 point per passing TD and I lost Daniels. Do I go with Penix (my backup) or do i grab Rodgers, Darnold or Browning? Im kinda leaning towards Browning
I mean... Maybe Darnold? The Saints have given up 5 TD passes. The Pats 3, Panthers 2 (teams run on them) and Vikings 1. It's tough to parse and, I do like Browning's supporting cast by far the most but, I would probably lean to Darnold here.

Need 2 ... Thx
Hmmmmm... Lots of guessing needed here. I think Mooney is a must start here. He practiced in full and Pitts came up with a toe injury.

I think Worthy, if he plays, is a decoy.

I like Harvey for sure but, he's not getting the volume yet and he's playing a tough D.

By process of elimination, and WAGs...

Probably lower. I mean, I guess he may be good for a one yard TD plunge but, what's his upside compared to Downs? I'd rather roll the dice on Downs.

YMMV
 
i need to pick up a kicker. Who should i DROP?

Dameon Pierce
or
Sean Tucker?
Probably Pierce. Maybe this scheme is better for him but, I think Tucker seems like he has more burst at this point and I like the Texans offense less than the Bucs ATM.

In reality, it's totally a coin toss.
 
12 team 1 ppr
Flex Spot
Ridley
or
Keenan Allen
I'm going back and forth on this one. TIA for the help.
Gotta be honest, I don't see the argument for Ridley.

Fewer targets, fewer receptions, lower catch % (50% to 70%), fewer yards, fewer TDs (0 to 2).

I couldn't bench Keenan just because he has a tougher matchup on paper. The way the Chargers deploy their receivers, it's not likely is on Keenan most of the time.

IMO

Keenan>Ridley
 
I'm usually not this indecisive, but I have a bunch of dilemmas this week and can't seem to find the obvious answers.

14-team non-PPR, start 2 RB/3 WR
Pick 1:
  • Breece @TB
  • Javonte @Chi
Still not sure I totally trust Javonte, but Jets got nothing done last week with Fields, so hard to feel confident in their offense with T-Immobile at QB, especially against a tough TB run D

12 team PPR, start 2RB/2WR/1flex
Pick 3 (one must be a RB)
  • Jamo @ Bal
  • Chuba vs Atl
  • Etienne vs Hou
  • Pearsall vs Ari
  • Keenan vs Den
  • Doubs vs Cle
Leaning Etienne, Chuba and Jamo, but very tempted by both Pearsall (with all the injuries to Arizona's DBs) and Keenan, who's been great this year

14-team 0.5 PPR, start 2 RB/2 WR/flex
Pick 1
  • Hampton vs Den
  • Pacheco @ NYG
Pick 1 (this is only an issue if Egbuka sits)
  • Whichever RB from above that I don't start
  • Franklin @ LAC
  • Ayomanor vs Indy
Leaning Hampton at RB and Franklin at flex, though I'm a little spooked by Franklin's matchup and a little tempted by Ayomanor

I would personally go with Javonte. It's a prime matchup and the Cowboys offense can score in bunches. The Jets, not so much and they'll likely lose which, often depresses stats.

Javonte>Breece
==========================
Gotta be honest for me its pretty strongly

Etienne>Keenan>Chuba

I love Jamo but, volume is king in PPR and Keenan is getting volume and TDs.
===========================
I am all over Pacheco this week. Well, I'm all over the Chiefs in general. I can't believe they are as bad as we have seen. I refuse to believe it (even if I pray they are that bad). I think they are desperate for a win and will handle the Giants. Hampton doesn't look ready for prime time.

Pacheco>Hampton
============================
I have been trying to finagle Franklin on my roster all week. Unfortunately I haven't been able to... yet. But, I don't know if I would start him or Ayomanor if I had better options. But... not sure Omarion is a better option. I think I probably lean to one of the WRs and hope for a big play.

It's really a coin toss. I think, maybe, possibly this is how I would go
Franklin>Ayomanor>Omarion
 
Brock vs. Arizona

Or

Jake vs. Vikes
Purdy vs Arizona
Browning @ Vikes

It depends on Purdy's status. I thought he was trending out?

If he plays, I guess you have to play him but... I think Browning may be better than we realize (he may be terrible mind you) and he has a great cast of skill guys around him too. The Niners are very thin by comparison.

Purdy is probably the smart move but I personally might be tempted to go

PPR league. Need a potential replacement in my 2nd flex for J. Jennings who seems to be trending out. Pick one:

* D. Mooney @CAR -- Would think it's a good matchup, but ATL could choose to run, run, run here. ATL may be turning into a running team.

* K. Boutte vs PIT -- Good matchup. PIT getting torched. That said, thought he had a good matchup last week and if not for a TD would have been a complete bust.

* D. Wicks @CLE -- J. Reed out. T. Kraft could be limited or out. However, GB could just choose to run the clock out if they get up big here. Slow paced team.

* S. Sheppard vs NYJ (if Egbuka out) -- Would be a good matchup. Sauce on Evans.

* K. Bourne vs AZ -- If Jennings is out, he'd step in. Knows the system.

Which one?

Thanks

I think I would lean towards Wicks. He got six targets last game, they've had 10 days in between and now Kraft will be limited almost certainly. They may not need to pass a ton, probably 25-26 times but I think they could be very efficient with it.

I agree that Shepard comes into play if Egbuka is out but, I think that entire Bucs team is a bit beat up ATM. They've had two heavy duty games to open the season and it was a short week. I don't think the Jets will win but, I think they have a chance.

Mooney is also an option for me because Pitts came up with a toe this week, apparently has no designation but, whatever. And Mooney is another week removed from his shoulder injury. Still, it could be a low volume passing day and I don't think Penix is likely to have a high efficiency day like Love is capable of (IMHO).

Boutte is fine but too uneven for my taste.

No idea how to determine if Bourne is a Year 9 One Game WR Breakout Candidate. Maybe???

Wicks>Shepard>Mooney>Boutte>Bourne
 
Standard scoring non-PPR league. Who do I start at flex:

Etienne vs HOU

Warren vs NE

Thank you
Warren had a great week and, it might me an indication of things to come. But I'm still not entirely convinced. I think Kaleb is in the dog house for this week so Warren is a fine option for sure.

Etienne looks like the Bucky Irving in the Jags offense and he seems to be thriving in that role.

I can see it being close but, until I see Warren do it again

Etienne>Warren
 
1/2 PPR. Starting 3 WR. 2 RB. 1 Flex (RB/WR). Think I got the right crew in? Each week has been sort of throwing darts at dart board for final spots haha.

Alvin Flex

Bench
Etienne JR
Jeudy
Jennings
Pollard

Agree with this. I would roll with Etienne over Warren.
 
Should I be considering starting Drake Maye over Jalen Hurts?
6 pt passing TD
Hurts killed me last week so am I overthinking?

I'm a little bearish in Kyren a Phili. He gets great volume and has a better chance at a short TD than most. But, he's had a below average start to the season for efficiency probably because the OL has been banged up already. I believe they are down at least one OG again this week and possibly two IIRC.

I would consider Etienne in that spot but, there is a chance his start to the season has been a mirage.

I could also argue for Pollard in that spot.

But I'm not sure either has the TD chance Kyren does.

Yeah, tough call IMO.

This is 100% a gut call for me so, listen to your own guy, not mine

Etienne>Kyren>Pollard
 
Should I be considering starting Drake Maye over Jalen Hurts?
6 pt passing TD

Maybe but, that's a tough recommendation to make. I might ask you to sign a waiver.

Yeah, the passing game has been incredibly anemic in Phili. And it's not like they have been rolling opponents and didn't need to pass either. They're #1 in rush attempts and #30 in pass attempts. And the Rams D is tough too. But can you bench the guy in week 3?

Steelers D has been terrible but it's against the run where they are by far worse so far. #32 in rush attempts against, 28th in yards and 30th in TDs. They are #6 in pass attempts against, 25th in yards. But it's only two weeks and, I believe they get DT Dan Harmon back this week.

I absolutely would not argue against starting Maye but, if it were my team

Hurts>Maye

For one more week.
 
Add/Drop question. PPR league.

If D. Swift is ruled out, K. Monongai is sitting their in FA. Who would you drop?

I've never been a big fan of Swift and I wonder if Ben Johnson feels the same.

* T. Allgiere -- Obviously one if not the best handcuff in the league and has stand alone value. I don't own Bijan.

or

* B. Corum -- Snaps are on the rise. Probably getting a 1/3 of the touches. Looks good. Another RB lotto ticket.

or

Do nothing. Leave him on the wire.

Thanks

or

Thanks
I think you know the answer.

Allgeier has more weekly standalone value IMO. Corum saw a little more action this week and, he had a nice snap share (30%) but that amounted to 5 touchers. IDK if he sees the usage of Allgeier, who saw 10 touches on a 25% snap share in week 1 and 17 on a 33% share in week 2, on a weekly basis at any point this season.

Corum is a great lottery ticket in the Rams offense if Kyern gets injured. But Allgeier is also a great lottery ticket if something happens to Bijan.

I take it you don't roster Bijan or Kyren?

I probably lean Corum to drop.

Than being said, I have no idea how to judge Monongai and his potential production in this offense. This could easily be a situation where Monongai's role stays the same and Roschon is brought in for first and second down. That happens plenty when there isn't a great 3 down backup like Allgeier is and Corum probably is.

I probably hold both and let someone else risk it with Monongai.

YMMV

Sound and reasonable analysis as usual.

Would have to see Swift out and have some serious coachspeak to pull the trigger on Monongai.

Rhamondre v PIT

Monty @ BAL (MNF)

.5ppr

Treveyon Henderson v PIT

Scattebo v DAL (SNF)
Are these the same team?

If not Skattebo is home against the Chiefs not the Cowboys. Big difference in quality of defense there. I would fade him because I think the Chiefs are desperate, I hope they actually suck but I am not ready to believe that yet.

Henderson>Skattebo
=================================

Rhamondre v Monty is difficult for sure. I anticipate a high scoring game, the Lions have not forgotten about the shellacking they took in Baltimore in '23. They've been talking about it this week. I am just not sure how much that matters. The Ravens can, and will put up points IMO and the Lions will have to keep up. I don't love them outdoors on the road but, Goff was much better away from Detroit last year than I had previously believed so I think the Lions will score a decent amount. I do wonder if this is more of a Gibbs game but, regardless the Lions will give Monty the ball 12-15 times. Rhamondre will probably be closer to the low end of that number. He is facing a struggling Pittsburgh defense (I think they may get their rookie 1st round DT back this week) and is at home.

Yeah, this feels like a coin toss. If these questions are for the same team, I could see wanting to diversify but Stevenson & Henderson are averaging 53 yards rushing and 77 yards receiving & 7.5 receptions per game. If these are both flex plays I might back the Pats backfield across the board, if this is a RB2 + Flex situation I would probably diversify.

Tentatively

Monty>Rhamondre

I think Monty's touches are a bit safer and his team should score more. But it's super close.
