We are back, once again, with stat filled, 100% accurate, fully researched, can’t be argued with, rock solid facts for Week 3 of the NFL that, of course, only tell part of the story.
My goal with this is to never talk about the no-brainer superstars you’re starting every week no matter what (unless there’s just a super interesting or surprising stat that people aren’t aware of), but rather to try and highlight the borderline guys you are on the fence about. Players who have underlying stats that you may not be aware of that point towards more (or less!) production than have been previously been seen and/or data about an upcoming matchup.
For those looking for “Love/Hate,” I am still doing it, but it’s no longer a written column. Instead, it’s the Thursday episode of Fantasy Football Happy Hour, which airs live at NOON ET on YouTube every weekday. It also airs on Peacock and NBC Sports NOW at 5 p.m. ET and, of course is available on demand on YouTube, Peacock and wherever you get your podcasts.
Shout-out to my producer Damian Dabrowski who helped at various stages of this column. Any utilization stats quoted here are from the great Dwain McFarland’s free Utilization Report and the FantasyLife.com Utilization Tool.
Finally, a reminder that the best deal on the internet remains RotoPass.com. I’ve bundled the best premium fantasy football information and tools sites in the industry for about 25 cents a day. It includes access to FantasyLife+ of course, but also many other great sites. Plus, those buying now get a FREE 6 month subscription to Peacock, which means you can watch our exclusive NFL game and get all of my video content, including my Sunday show Fantasy Football Pregame (11 a.m. to 1p.m. ET).
Let’s get to it.
