Week 3 2025 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (2 Viewers)

.5 ppr

C Brown vs Minn
B Hall vs TB

Both playing with backup qbs. Leaning Hall because i don’t think Tyrod will hurt him as much as Browning will hurt Brown.

What do you think?
 
PPR need one WR and one Flex from this list:

Pittman vs Tenn
WanDale Robinson vs KC
Worthy vs NYG
Diggs Vs Pitt
Harvey vs LAC
Charbonnet vs NO
 
Different PPR League need one WR and One Flex:

C Brown vs Minn
B Hall vs TB

What do you think?
I'm not sure Tyrod is a better QB than Browning. What I am concerned about is Chase Brown might not be as good as we all hoped he would be. We have now seen 310 carries at 4.1 per and 72 receptions at 7.5 per. Those are replacement level numbers. And despite the slow start, I do believe the Vikings D is going to be strong.

Breece has a career low of 4.2 ypc and 7.8 y/r. He averages 4.6 & 8.6 on 541 carries and 156 receptions. He's objectively better than Brown and this is the third season removed from his knee injury. The matchup isn't great, the Bucs are tough and ruthless but, they just had a pretty brutal game and they lost Cancey so the D may be a little more rough and toothless.

I'll bank on talent.

Breece>Brown
 
Standard league Need One:

Coleman vs Mia
Pittman vs Tenn
Hollywood vs NYG
Diggs vs Pitt
Worthy vs Giants?
If he were completely healthy I would probably go with Worthy but, he's not.

No interest in Diggs really, too TD dependent on low volume and not Brown in non-ppr.

I like Pittman and it's a good matchup but, I think Coleman is a little similar and has a better matchup.

It's close but

Coleman>Pittman>...IDK

thank you ! I was leaning exactly that way

I think it comes down to Pittman v Wan'Dale because the others are entirely unpredictable. Pittman and Wan'Dale are only modestly unpredictable.

I probably lean Pittman because I believe we have seen a closer to reality version of the Colts than we have of the Giants. I do like Wan'Dale enough in PPR that I wouldn't argue with him over Pittman but, you need to monitor the practice reports (he was Q today).

Close in PPR for sure but I like

Pittman>Wan'Dale
 
Different PPR League need one WR and One Flex:

Pittman vs Tenn
Connor vs SF
Diggs vs Pitt
Jeudy vs GB
Ferguson vs Chi
Worthy vs NYG
My first bit of advice is next year to try not drafting Pittman, Diggs & Worthy on every team.

As long as he's upright, James Conner is kind of a TD machine.

Jeudy without Jameis looks like... he misses Jameis. I like Ferguson but I don't expect another 50 passes from the Cowboys this week. And, even with 12 targets,.going 9-78 is kinda disappointing.

Diggs looks low volume & TD dependent. Maybe he turns it around but he may be washed.

I probably go with

Pittman>Conner> IDK

12 team PPR league. Need to start three of the following:

* J. Mason vs CINCI -- Could be the bell cow this week. Probably a definite start among these 5.

* G. Pickens @CHI -- Finally got loose. CHI secondary is a wreck with injuries. Could be a shootout. If Pickens can turn some of these PI calls into catches he's going to have a monster game one of these days.

* J. Conner @SF -- Don't love the matchup. Benson getting integrated. TDs keep saving Conner's day in the first two weeks.

* T. McMillan vs ATL -- CAR offense is a mess. Injuries on O Line. But he's for sure the #1 target here. Impressive first two weeks. ATL pass rush looks much improved. Garbage time counts though.

* T. Higgins @MN -- Week 1 with Browning at QB. Tough matchup @MN. Conventional wisdom is saying Higgins is hurt more than Chase with Browning. Maybe stay away for a week?

Which 3?

Leaning J. Mason, G. Pickens, and T. McMillan.

Note: Underdog by 10 points so looking for upside.

Thanks
 
New option...rate this trade!

I GET: T. McMillan and T. Benson
I GIVE: E. Egbuka & N. Chubb

Logic:

1) I'm a J. Conner owner. Benson insurance.
2) I'm never going to start N. Chubb.
3) E. Egbuka: Feel like while he'll be solid all year, this could be peak Egbuka with three TDs in his first two games and Godwin inching back.
4) T. McMillan...crappy B. Young or not...is the clear #1 on that offense that can't run, has an easy schedule, and will be playing catchup all year.

Roster:

* QB: L. Jackson
* RBs: C. Brown, J. Conner, J. Mason (Z. Charbs, R. Harvey, T. Benson, T. Allgiere, B. Corum)
* WRs: N. Collins, G. Pickens, T. Higgins, T. McMillan
* TE: H. Fannin (G. Kittle)

Don’t have a strong take on anything other than the DST. Think Indy is the obvious pick against a Rookie qb who is a bit of a gunslinger. If I’m a streamer, Colts are the pick this week.

Come on man I'm sure that's not true. Now, Bill from accounting? That guy, with the flip flops and the terrible puns? Oooooofff.

#rimshot

I hate benching Love but, I'm starting Jones over Nix and that feels close enough that I would probably recommend the same for you. That Cleveland D still gets after the QB (6 sacks) and held Burrow & Lamar to a combined 338 yards.

Jones>Love

I don't love your flex options but, I think I would risk it with Franklin. I think we may all have whiffed on who the #1 WR is in Denver. Maybe not but, he seems like he's a big part of the offense.

If you don't like that, I might risk it with JCM. Eventually they have to give him the ball, right?

Then Rhamondre because he will remain a big part of the backfield as long as he isn't fumbling. And it appears to be a good matchup.

Franklin>JCM>Rhamondre>Judkins>Golden

Do you mind editing this an adding the matchups? I don't have them memorized and really don't want to do the legwork on six guys.

TIA
 
NON-PPR 12-teamer need a TE:

Hockenson w/ Wentz vs CINN
Fannin Jr vs GB
I think I go with Fannin because he seems to have a secure target share. Brutal matchup though and there is a big question mark surrounding Wentz. He's an old reclamation project even for O'Connell but, I still believe in KOC's ability to maximize QB output. The question is where will Wentz look?

Yeah, I think there are enough unknowns to lean Fannin but, Hock definitely has bigger upside (and downside) IMO so make your choice according to your need/risk aversion.

For me, ATM (and subject to change):
Fannin>Hock
 
10 team PPR flex decision:

Debo Samuel vs LVR
or
Alvin Kamara vs SEA
Kamara is @ SEA not home (vs) SEA. Not trying to be problematic but, where the game is played is important IMO.

This is a tough call because Kamara just gets a crazy share of the snaps in NO (82%) so you have to love him for volume alone. But, NO isn't a very good team, they are playing much harder than I would have thought but they are still the favorite for the #1 overall pick next year. Seattle also looks like a very good defense and their home field is pretty strong. That means Kamara's ceiling may be capped unless he has a crazy over expectation day. But he should be a very safe floor option with TD upside.

We've been saying that Deebo should be in line for work out of the backfield since the Robinson trade but it hasn't really manifested yet. Now Ekeler is out so, it has to happen now, right? Right? I think... maybe? But, now matter how that shakes out he seems to be a big part of the offensive game plan in Washington, he has an 83% snap share, McLaurin has an 85% snap share and the #3 WR is at 43%. The passing game runs through Deebo, who is getting 9 targets/game so far, Terry and Ertz. With Ekeler out, that feels like it's just going to condense a little bit more. The Raiders defense is playing well and Mariota may be starting but, it's still a neutral matchup at worst and, it's at home.

Close call but, I lean
Deebo>Kamara
 
1 of each
K Allen vs DEN
D Adam’s @ PHI

J Warren @ NE
T Pollard vs IND

Need 2
D Adam’s @ PHI
G Pickens @ CHI
C Olave @ SEA
K Allen vs DEN

Thanks, I’ll hang up and listen
PPR? That's important for your third option.

Tough call between Allen & Adams but, I lean Keenan. It's way too early to make sweeping judgements but the Chargers are looking like one of the best teams in football and Denver is still finding their stride. It may all gel for the Denver D this week but, I think it is probably worth the risk being a home game and your other option has an equally tough matchup.

Keenan>Davante

Pollard is getting lead back usage, Warren is... I'm not sure yet.
Pollard>>>Warren

I can make an argument for Olave because he's getting great volume but, it's the Saints first road game under Rattler in a very tough environment. No to Pickens because I don't think the Cowboys will throw 50+ times vs the Bears.

Allen>Adams>Olave (PPR)/Pickens (non-PPR)
 
.5ppr start 2 RB 2 WR and a Flex each league.

League 1:

Need an RB2 and it's grim. Some of the guys are trending up in usage but they are all dice rolls.

Pacheco @ NYG (I feel this a must win game for KC and it is a winable game too. Just worried about Hunt goal line TD vulturing)
Charbonnet vs NO (DNP Wednesday, great week 1 crap week 2)
Harris vs DEN (Hampton fumbled last week and they seemed to ramp up Harris' usage, trending up?)
Henderson vs PIT (Bad tape week 2 in pass protection, Stevenson still #1, hasn't broken out like I thought yet...)
Tuten (Trending up, week 2 was nice but Etienne still the #1)



League 2:

Need both WR1 and 2 from this list:

McConkey vs DEN (Outshown by other WR's for LA so far, DNP yesterday, also could be covered by Pat Surtain)
Sutton @ LAC (Great week 1, crap week 2, still the top option for Nix?)
Tet v ATL (ATL D scares me, they look great but game script I feel could push CAR to throw more)
Adams @ PHI (Solid WR2 numbers so far, PHI D is tough though)
Williams @ BAL (Gamescript favors but BAL D is solid no?

Yeah, the Lions on the road, particularly in Baltimore should give everyone pause. But, I'm not loving your other options so much either. Browning may be one of the better backup QBs in the NFL. He's been amazingly accurate with a passable TD/INT ratio (1.4/1). If we just look at his 7 consecutive starts in 2023 he looks great with 267 pass yards and 1.6/1 TD/INT with 13 yards rushing per game. I don't love it as a road game in Minnesota but, he has some talent and one of the best offensive supporting casts in the league.

Stroud is struggling. Let's face it, he regressed pretty badly from year one to year two and he looks even worse now. Jacksonville isn't a terrifying defense but they're not terrible and certainly on par with Tampa Bay. I honestly think DeMeco Ryans may be on the hot seat at this point. They could "circle the wagons" but, I don't know if I want to rely on that.

The Lions are going to end the season as one of the five highest scoring teams in the league. The Lions are facing a team that will finish as one of the five highest scoring teams in the league. Should be a track meet, right? But, there is a belief that home and road splits are dramatic. I decided to dig into it just a bit and, in 2024 it wasn't as stark as I thought. He averaged 75%, 282 yards, 2.33 TD, 0.67 INT & 1.8 sacks at home and 74%, 261 yards, 2 TD, 0.75 INT, & 1.9 sacks on the road. That surprised me probably because I'm still a bit traumatized from the 2023 game in Baltimore, in which the Lions were shellacked 38-6. Goff threw for 284 (62%), 0 TD, 1 INT and he was sacked 5 times. But, this may be a different Lions team than the 2023 version...

I still view it as a risk but:
Goff>Browning>Stroud
==============================

Your flex call is tough. I'm leaning Judkins just because of how fast he was named the starter. Clearly the Browns are desperate for any spark and, I expect they will try to give him as much work as they can before they are entirely in 2/6 minute mode, so... probably 2 PM on Saturday.

I honestly don't feel I can trust Henderson ATM. I think I underestimated the McDaniels factor and Rhamondre will see plenty of work unless & until he starts fumbling. So Henderson feels more like a big play option at this point.

Boutte got one target in a 33-27 game... one. And Drake Maye only threw the ball 23 times. This is a really tough team to predict. Boutte does see the biggest snap share of all the WRs (77%, Hollins and Diggs are next at 59% & 54%) so he should see enough looks to make him startable most weeks. I just worry there will be plenty of duds along the way.

The Giants have the worst run D in the league by, virtually every metric. A lot of that is masked by 68 yards from Daniels in week one but, they're still not very good against the run. Pacheco sees a 55% snap share compared to 39% for Hunt but, he has only 3 more opportunities and 2 more touches. And his efficiency is worse than Hunt, although they both suck ATM. Starting him is banking on a TD, and I think that isn't a terrible bet this week with KC so very desperate for a win. Could the Chiefs really be a bad team this year? I doubt it but, Kelce and Chris Jones are old and slowing down. This might be the year they have to retool. Still, I can't bet against them in week two against a bad Giants team.

It's really a gut call but:
Boutte>Pacheco>Judkins>Henderson
===============================

Kickers? Seriously, bruh? Loop, I guess. I take the kicker from winning teams who score a lot. Yeah, yeah "But...but...TD conversion rates..." whatever.

Loop>Mr. Rodgers>The Waterboy
====================================

Say it with me "Defenses are random number generators."

Probably the Bucs but, they just played a very tough game, lost Cancey and it's a short week.

Probably the Broncos but, they have started very slow and are playing one of the early season's best teams on the road.

Probably the Colts because they have been surprisingly good and are playing a lesser opponent.

IDK
Colts>Bucs>Broncos

:shrug:
 
I have a QB problem....Daniels and Fields.

That said need a one week flyer with this menu:

Arod - Pats have a pretty meh D, should have a couple TD's
Browning - Vikes are no pushover, but this could be a good garbage time and he has the weapons
TLaw (someone dropped) - Houston is mid level secondary, I just don't know what to expect
Penix (ditto) - Carolina will be likely a cakewalk, and I already have Drake....another dud and I'm down 2
Mac Jones - is Purdy playing?
Darnold - maybe 250 2 TD's

Can't imagine benching Tet in PPR at this point.

Browning has also been remarkably good when given the chance. Could be a mirage but his 7 starts in 2023 were impressive and he put up numbers (and INTs) last week too. Tee had 3 targets for 2-14 yards before Burrow went down. He had 5 targets going 1-42 from Browning. Just observing that Tee's usage rate didn't drop, even if his efficiency did a bit.

No real interest in Pickens. I don't think Dallas throws another 50+ passes the way Javonte has been running but, maybe their defense really is that bad? The question is if Caleb can exploit it.

Conner is a plodder IMO but, he's rock steady and gives you the best shot at a TD. But I don't love the matchup, at all.

Mason seems like a nice option to me. It's a plus matchup, he's alone atop the depth chart (still don't think he gets a lot of pass game work) and I imagine the playbook will skew running game.

Tet>Mason>Tee>Pickens>Conner

* TE: H. Fannin (G. Kittle)
I like this trade in a PPR format.

Egbuka has been amazing but he has more competition for targets, even before Godwin comes back. Chubb is a whatever option, could be a solid emergency RB but I'm not thrilled with any Texans ATM.

Tet is getting targets like a true WR1 and there is no one coming along stealing looks.

Pittman at Tenn.
A.J. Brown vrs Rams
Wow. It says a lot that I am seriously not sure which way to go here. I feel like I'm trying to talk myself into Brown here. Things like, "He's due" and, "there is so much talk about his lack of production" are bouncing around in my head saying... uh... He's Due! But, this Rams team is just tough and they always seem to show up prepared on both sides of the ball. But the Eagles beat them by 17 in LA and by 6 in Philli last year...

Tennessee is a great matchup, also a great matchup for JTaylor, and Jones is playing like an MVP (pumpkin???).

It's very bold so, you should listen to your instincts but, IMO (which will change a dozen times by Sunday)

Pittman>AJ
 
I've been playing whack-a-mole in my flex spots and have been unsuccessful. So, Sharks... I turn to you for guidance.

Pick 1 WR & 2 Flex between these players:

Rome Odunze, Ladd McConkey, Mike Evans, RJ Harvey, Quinshon Judkins
Great options IMO. Pass on Harvey (usage) and Judkins (matchup) this week.

I'm loving everything I see from the Caleb/Rome connection. On broken plays and, there are a lot of those when Caleb is the QB, he definitely looks for Rome. And it's a great matchup.

Yeah, for me it's Rome pretty easily but Evans is obviously a great choice too. Tepid on Ladd (who I roster on both of my teams), because #### Keenan Allen!

TIA!
I can totally see your RB problem. Rather than try to break down each issue I think I am just going to stick with my initial impulse of Pacheco. The matchup is great and the Chiefs are desperate for a win. I am not sure they can roll the Giants but I think, they should and, if they are going to put it all together and get back in the race they have to do it right now.

Pacheco
==================================

Is league 2 PPR? If so, Tet seems like a lock for me. Not concerned by the Falcons D in the least. Tet gets 10 targets and that is all you can hope for.

I think, despite the matchup I go with Davante because it really looks like he has just stepped into the Cooper Kupp role and the passing game will run through Puka, Adams and not much else.

After that it gets really cloudy and coin tossy. Sutton and Ladd are both being "underutilized", at least according to their fantasy managers, and Jameson is your home run option. I guess if you need that then start him but for me.

Tet>Davante>McConkey>Jameson>Sutton

Thanks
Darnold seems like the safe bet for me. Penix and Lawrence haven't really looked great and the Steelers are very uneven. Browning should put up nice numbers but, naturally there is backup-itis.

Jones, if he plays, is the smart bet for upside/downside combo and you have Darnlod as an option if Purdy is a GTD.

Jones>Darnold>probably Lawrence>Browning

My concern with Baker is that the entire Bucs team took a lot of punishment on Monday. That game was a slog.

Jones is playing so well that I have no problem giving him the nod here (personally I have him in over Nix)

Jones>Baker
=======================================
Tet by a mile, even in standard. He is seeing too much volume.

Not Judkins because I worry about matchup and game script. I am sure the Browns want to run him a ton but, game script could easily put an end to that.

I probably go with KWIII because of the matchup and it's a home game. He showed last week how dynamic he can be, even with limited usage and, I expect Seattle to lead in ToP and play count.

Between Conner and BTJ it's all about your risk aversion. IMO BTJ has worlds more upside and he is seeing plenty of volume, scattershot volume but volume. Conner is a good bet for a TD against anyone but it's a bad matchup on the road, I may like Conner even less than Judkins (shiny toy principle).

Tet>KWIII>BTJ>Coin flip
 
NON-PPR 12-teamer need a TE:

Hockenson w/ Wentz vs CINN
Fannin Jr vs GB
I think I go with Fannin because he seems to have a secure target share. Brutal matchup though and there is a big question mark surrounding Wentz. He's an old reclamation project even for O'Connell but, I still believe in KOC's ability to maximize QB output. The question is where will Wentz look?

Yeah, I think there are enough unknowns to lean Fannin but, Hock definitely has bigger upside (and downside) IMO so make your choice according to your need/risk aversion.

For me, ATM (and subject to change):
Fannin>Hock
I agree. GB is a solid D but La Porta was 6 of 9 for 91 yards and Ertz went 6 for 8 for 64 yds and 1 td.
 
.5ppr start 2 RB 2 WR and a Flex each league.

League 1:

Need an RB2 and it's grim. Some of the guys are trending up in usage but they are all dice rolls.

Pacheco @ NYG (I feel this a must win game for KC and it is a winable game too. Just worried about Hunt goal line TD vulturing)
Charbonnet vs NO (DNP Wednesday, great week 1 crap week 2)
Harris vs DEN (Hampton fumbled last week and they seemed to ramp up Harris' usage, trending up?)
Henderson vs PIT (Bad tape week 2 in pass protection, Stevenson still #1, hasn't broken out like I thought yet...)
Tuten (Trending up, week 2 was nice but Etienne still the #1)



League 2:

Need both WR1 and 2 from this list:

McConkey vs DEN (Outshown by other WR's for LA so far, DNP yesterday, also could be covered by Pat Surtain)
Sutton @ LAC (Great week 1, crap week 2, still the top option for Nix?)
Tet v ATL (ATL D scares me, they look great but game script I feel could push CAR to throw more)
Adams @ PHI (Solid WR2 numbers so far, PHI D is tough though)
Williams @ BAL (Gamescript favors but BAL D is solid no?


TIA!
I can totally see your RB problem. Rather than try to break down each issue I think I am just going to stick with my initial impulse of Pacheco. The matchup is great and the Chiefs are desperate for a win. I am not sure they can roll the Giants but I think, they should and, if they are going to put it all together and get back in the race they have to do it right now.

Pacheco
==================================

Is league 2 PPR? If so, Tet seems like a lock for me. Not concerned by the Falcons D in the least. Tet gets 10 targets and that is all you can hope for.

I think, despite the matchup I go with Davante because it really looks like he has just stepped into the Cooper Kupp role and the passing game will run through Puka, Adams and not much else.

After that it gets really cloudy and coin tossy. Sutton and Ladd are both being "underutilized", at least according to their fantasy managers, and Jameson is your home run option. I guess if you need that then start him but for me.

Tet>Davante>McConkey>Jameson>Sutton

Yes both are same format (.5ppr), sorry for the confusion. My gut said Pacheco too he just has looked awful so far this year and going back to last season when he came back. I had Tet in over McConkey due to the injury uncertainty + Pat Surtain as well. The 2nd WR slot is either Sutton or Adams imo. I think Sutton is still the guy in Denver but Adams has been the safer floor of the two.
 
Full PPR for Flex spot

Shakir vs Miami
Henderson vs Pitt
Unless you're a huge underdog, think you gotta go Shakir as he seems more likely to bounce back from last week's disappointment than Henderson (I have both of them as well, and have been debating them amongst other options)

Even as an underdog, I would probably still go Shakir, but I'm kind of wondering if Hendo has already served his time, so to speak
 
.5 ppr

Dobbins @ LA
Swift vs Dal
Sutton @ LAC
Allen or QJ vs DEN
K Williams @ Phi
D Adams @ Phi

Need 2 - thx
