Justin Herbert decides, Jacobs flies, buying Moore and injury outlines
Good morning. Yesterday was Eddie's birthday, which means today's a tough hangover. But it's SUNDAAYYYY, so I couldn't be happier. At least, until I check my Trey Lance-less lineups.
Looking at my fantasy team two weeks in @FantasyAlarm

Now - before the games start, consider reading this thread and picking up anyone listed:
You may have players that get listed as OUT or get placed on the IR today or tomorrow before the games that you can put on your fantasy IR
Maybe your team just needs a boost in general
Consider adding these players before the games who are rostered in <50% of ESPN Leagues ⬇️

News I'd want to know if I were you:
CONTENT
My Favorite Buy-Low Candidates At Each Position - some TRUE buy-low candidates that you can actually buy (i.e. not Kyle Pitts). "With all of the Garrett Wilson hype, Elijah Moore has been left for dead. Easily the most attainable player on this list, Moore shouldn't cost fantasy managers much to acquire." Here's why you should start Elijah Moore this week.
Positional Rankings for Week 3 - is Courtland Sutton a Top-10 WR?
Jake Tribbey's "My 15 favorite stats from my Week 3 DFS research" is a must-read. Three key facts:
Josh Allen averages a truly mind-boggling 31.3 DraftKings FPG and 30.8 FanDuel FPG when his game total is over 51.5 over the last 3 seasons (11 instances). The total in MIA v BUF is 52.0
As a favorite of 2.0-points or more, Joe Mixon averages a very impressive 21.0 FPG (~RB4) since 2019. The Bengals are 6.0-point favorites in W3.
The seven best fantasy outings of Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s career have come as a 5.0-point or more favorite with a total over 48.0. KC is -5.5 this week with a total of 50.5.
From The Athletic: In an ever-changing NFL, what does modern pass defense look like?
Did some digging into the advanced stats behind the Bengals’ rough start. Regression has hit them hard, but they’ve also been a bit unlucky and some of their issues can be fixed with a self scout. They can still turn it around, but the pressure is on.

Who’s Out?
Justin Herbert is a true game time decision, but given the chances he gets hit in the ribs again - I'd be cautious. Unless you're in a deep league, alternatives are available. Don't lose your week at the QB position.
