What's still developing
- This guide should help you with all sorts of decision-making, including sit/start, last-minute waiver adds and lineup choices.
- All of this advice is centered on 12-team PPR leagues with relatively standard scoring and lineup settings (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 Flex, 1 K, 1 D/ST), although I'll often mention "shallow" or "deep" leagues for some starters. The charts show all players who have been projected for at least 6.0 fantasy points this week, as well as all D/STs. "Matchup" is automatically determined using a proprietary metric that factors in raw and volume-adjusted fantasy points allowed to each position by the opposing defense.
- Over/Under: 53.6 (Highest) Win Probability: Bills 70% (9th highest) Lineup locks: Chuba Hubbard, Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker Fantasy scoop: Quinshon Judkins is off to a very slow start, having totaled just 54 yards on 24 carries (2.3 YPC) and 44 yards on seven targets through two games.
- Over/Under: 41.8 (15th highest) Win Probability: Panthers 54% (12th highest) Lineup locks: Jahmyr Gibbs, Breece Hall, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Garrett Wilson Fantasy scoop: Adonai Mitchell is locked in as the Jets' No. 2 receiver -- a role that allowed him a hefty 12 targets in Week 2.
- Welcome to The Playbook for Week 3, which kicks off Thursday night with a game between the Falcons and Packers.
- Additionally, we have folded our Shadow Reports into the game-by-game breakdowns here.
