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.

Now - before the games start, consider reading this thread and picking up anyone listed:

News I'd want to know if I were you:

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.

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.

Who’s In?

Good news: We've got confirmation that Alvin Kamara will play and Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is also expected to play Week 3.

QUICK SLANTS

  • "I flipped this video so Tua is a right handed QB, and it really changed the way I view his throw" (video)

  • Vince Wilfork’s heartfelt Patriots Hall of Fame Induction speech (video)

  • @TheFFBallers Dynasty Report covers what you need to know about Garrett Wilson for dynasty.

  • Josh Jacobs (illness) made the flight to Nashville; remains questionable for Week 3.

Thanks for joining us this morning, have an epic Sunday!

Jake, Eddie, Matt & Coach Wehler.
