According to the offseason coaching narrative, Matt LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers were going to light the turf on fire. Rodgers’ 841 (No. 17 among qualified quarterbacks) yards of Attempt Distance, negative-15.4 (No. 25) Production Premium and 13.5 (No. 22) Fantasy Points Per Game say otherwise.

The Seahawks have a negative-5.54 (No. 22) Game-Script that should lead to more opportunities for C.J. Prosise. Combine that with Chris Carson’s fumbling issues, and a healthy Rashaad Penny in Week 4, and Carson’s floor/ceiling drops.

Recent usage points to Nick Chubb as a strong buy low in fantasy football. Heading into Week 3, Freddie Kitchens spoke on involving Chubb more in all phases of the game. Living up to that promise, he played on 97-percent of the snaps and handled 100-percent of the running back opportunities against the Rams.

While most believe Aaron Jones deserves the starting running back job in Green Bay, Jamaal Williams has actually performed slightly better when on the field this year. Williams’ +8.6 (No. 22) Production Premium and 39.4-percent (No. 6) Juke Rate both rank ahead of Jones.

Darrel Williams’ 9.3-percent (68th-percentile) College Target Share is a signal that he will be able to contribute as more than a between-the-tackles grinder. In a small sample of touches, he has produced 1.01 (No. 36) Fantasy Points per Opportunity. That mark more than betters Darwin Thompson’s 0.37 (No. 82) Fantasy Points per Opportunity.

Rex Burkhead is not seeing as much volume as he would need to be a consistent week to week option. Though there will be weeks like Week 3, when one or more members of the regular running back rotation are out and the usage becomes more predictable. In those situations, the value of touches in this offense makes Burkhead a plug-and-play RB2.

With the Seattle defense getting burned week in and week out, Pete Carroll and Schottenheimer’s best laid plans often go awry and lead to Wilson having to do it all and save the day. And Lockett is benefiting. He doesn’t have to be as efficient as last year if his volume is going to see this much of an uptick.

Daniel Jones needed this confidence-building comeback win today because he’s got Washington, Minnesota, and New England the next three weeks, and it’s doubtful Saquon Barkley will be available for any of those contests.

The Cleveland offense has struggled through the season’s first two weeks. Still, that shouldn’t deter us from stashing a player with the raw athleticism that Demetrius Harris possesses. One who was efficient on limited usage playing behind Travis Kelce last year, averaging 13.7 yards on his 12 receptions.

With Kyler Murray locked into his starting role from day one, and Daniel Jones set to start his first game this week, it’s not hard to conclude that Dwayne Haskins’ time will come sooner rather than later. It will be easy to see Washington make the switch to the former Heisman finalist and Rose Bowl MVP if they’re blown out at home against the Bears on Monday Night Football.

With the only running back who was threatening Frank Gore for touches potentially being sidelined, and the Bills facing a Bengals defense that has allowed a league-leading +18.23 fantasy points above league average to opposing running backs.

Throwing Ty Johnson into your weekly lineups given his current price will create the ultimate upside for you should he manage to see a significant increase in touches. He’s an interesting Week 3 tournament play who brings high upside given his cost…

Winning a DFS tournament is going to require some hot takes to hit. What do the advanced metrics say about Miles Sanders or Kyle Allen hot takes this week?

Ekeler is stepping up as well. He is third among backs in Weighted Opportunities (which factors in the value of receptions relative to carries) with 18.9 per game.

Kyler Murray leads the league in pass attempts, air yards, and attempt distance. He is top-five in passing yards, red zone pass attempts, and deep attempts. He is just $5,800 on DraftKings and $7,200 on FanDuel, making him a lock play on both platforms.

Zach Ertz saw 16 targets in Week 2 with Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, and Dallas Goedert all going down with injuries. While he is unlikely to reach that number again, Ertz is in line for double-digit targets with all three still sidelined. He is $1,100 cheaper than Travis Kelce on FanDuel and $1,400 less on DraftKings, locking him in as the best TE play of the week.

Curtis Samiel is absolutely dominating opposing corners, averaging 3.12 (No. 3 among qualified wide receivers) yards of Target Separation. The Panthers are also trying to take advantage of his 4.31 (100th-percentile) 40-yard dash, feeding him five deep targets through two weeks.

Marvin Jones has a matchup with arguably the worst cornerback in the NFL, Ronald Darby. The Philly corner ranks outside the top 50 in yards per target allowed, yards per reception allowed, passer rating allowed, coverage rating… you get the picture.

Ezekiel Elliott’s opportunity grew in Week 2 as he re-acclimated to NFL game speed. Elliott’s touches soared from 15 to 25 with 23 rushing attempts on the ground. Even with a limited Week 1, Elliott ranks No.4 in carries (36) and No.2 in red zone carries (8).

Austin Hooper draws a positive matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Last year, the Colts allowed the most yards to tight ends in the NFL (1,194). To start 2019, the Colts allowed Hunter Henry to notch 60 yards in Week 1.
