If Tampa Bay is going to beat the Colts this weekend, they'll need to put a stop to Taylor's MVP campaign. Fortunately, they seem equipped to do just that.
No Aaron Jones, no problem. We expect Green Bay to have a fantasy field day against Minnesota.
Good news for fantasy managers who need QBs—the Raiders, Falcons, and Colts all have good matchups that should leave you with plenty of options.
Backup quarterbacks are always difficult to forecast in fantasy leagues, but Taysom Hill's running skills give him a higher baseline than most. Jordan Love, meanwhile, is an unknown commodity.
The Bengals have won four out of five games and their second-year quarterback and rookie wide receiver are the talk of the league but they may see significant drops in fantasy production this week.
The Rams offense has produced a lot of fantasy stars this weekend. So has the Lions defense. So you'll want to start everyone in a Los Angeles uniform—Kupp, Robert Woods, Tyler Higbee, Darrell Henderson, Matthew Stafford, maybe Flipper Anderson and Eric Dickerson—when they play Detroit on Sunday.
The Detroit Lions have a terrible defense and an offense that can't stay on the field. That spells fantasy gold for their opponents this week, the Cincinnati Bengals, including quarterback Joe Burrow, running back Joe Mixon, and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase.
The fantasy players with the biggest matchup boosts at each position this week—Kirk Cousins at quarterback, Dalvin Cook at running back, Tyler Conklin at tight end, and Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen at wide receiver—all play for Minnesota against a terrible Detroit defense. Scott Spratt looks at which other players you should start, and which you should leave on the bench.
The Carolina Panthers have played better than expected so far this season, while the Dallas Cowboys have largely struggled on defense. Scott Spratt looks at other teams with great fantasy matchups this weekend, including the Rams, the Browns, and ... the Bears?
Sometimes, fantasy football is simple. The Seattle Seahawks—including Russell Wilson, Tyler Lockett, and DK Metcalf—are good. The Vikings secondary is bad, and even a home game may not benefit them since they play in a dome, which makes life easier for quarterbacks and wideouts. Scott Spratt breaks down the other good (and bad) matchups of Week 3.
