The FF Dynasty - Week 3 STUDS + DUDS That Will Save (Or Ruin) Your Season!

The source projects Bijan Robinson to score one or two rushing touchdowns in the Falcons' game against Green Bay, which would help lift Drake London's ceiling; Robinson is expected to benefit from Michael Penix's return.

Breece Hall was RB12 in Week 2 with 5 receptions for 63 yards (16.8 PPR points), but lost a touchdown to Braylon Allen, which would have made it a 22-point outing. The source believes there will be continued better weeks for Hall as the season wears on. If Gino Smith continues to target Hall four to six times a game, Hall's stock will be awesome regardless of touchdowns, and even better if touchdown equity starts flowing in. The source questions the infatuation with Braylon Allen, noting that Hall is a much better grinder.

Thomas is playing the sacrificial X role in the Jaguars' offense and is a dud this week (WR52); despite strong prospect profile, he is not a reliable lineup play and the source is hard-pressed to start him even in a five-WR dynasty league, suggesting his role is secondary to Parker Washington's alpha volume.

The source describes Brian Thomas Jr. as playing the 'sacrificial X' role and is hard-pressed to roster him as a wide receiver five in a five-start dynasty league, indicating limited offensive role and usage despite his draft capital.

Williams is out for the next few weeks, forcing the Bears to rely on Case Keenum as the next man up; this is a primary reason the source is benching the entire Bears offense.

Cam Akers is a dud in Week 2 with RB27 finish (9.5 fantasy points, 12 carries for 36 yards, 4 receptions for 19 yards). The source is beginning to discuss Akers as a disappointing performer early in the season.

Tate is a dud this week (WR66) despite Cam Ward's ability to elevate his game; the source sees the Giants as a great spot for Tate in Week 3 given their weak secondary (which allowed Devonta Adams to commit war crimes), but Tate is not aggressive for lineups yet and needs at least 60 yards and a TD or 7 catches for 70 yards to prove viability.

Olave is one of the most mispriced assets entering the season and is panning out as this year's JSN; he is earning his way into elite WR territory (Jamar Chase, JSN, CD Lamb, Amon Ra St. Brown) with aggressive performances in the second half of games, and Kellen Moore's system (similar to Shanahan/McVay) provides consistent offensive scheme advantage.

Chuba Hubbard is back to the workhorse role after Jonathan Brooks suffered tenderness and will miss time. With 14 touches and a touchdown in both games (RB10 and RB11 finishes), Hubbard is now at 65-70% snap share and positioned for increased volume. The source, who faded him in the offseason, is now excited about his value in an offense that can score a lot of points and give him the ball frequently, and feels comfortable rolling with him in RB or flex spots moving forward.

The source discusses Colston Loveland as a potential dud candidate but suggests keeping him on the shelf; if Bijan plays, Loveland could get off the schneid this week, though the source expresses skepticism about his near-term fantasy value.

The source calls out Dalton Kincaid as a tight end hero with week-winning upside; if DJ Moore is unavailable, Kincaid will receive more volume, which combined with his existing target share gives him elite tight end ceiling.

The source highlights Dalton Schultz as a tight end stud with 26 fantasy points, 12 of 14 receiving, and 140 yards in week three; he should continue to be a fine start for most of the year, especially without Jaden Higgins in the lineup.

Montgomery is a dud this week (RB 48, 4.4 fantasy points, 6 carries down from 20 in Week 1, 0 TDs down from 3) but the source sees no alarm; he gets a favorable matchup against the Colts in Week 3 and should be plugged back in immediately as an RB2, especially given the source's confidence in his ability to perform against a division rival in good weather.

Boston is projected to be in the top 15-20 WRs this week despite a tough matchup against JC Horn and Mike Jackson; he wins consistently and runs away from defenders, more similar to Drake London than Michael Pittman, and should be in your lineup as a flex or home-run play.

Metcalf is a zero this week (WR56) and the source questions whether Aaron Rodgers will continue to target him after a drop pass; the source recommends benching him and potentially dropping him for another player.

The source identifies Drake London as a buy-window target before Michael Penix returns, noting that once Penix is healthy, London's per-target and per-route metrics will become very aggressive, giving him wide receiver one overall upside; the source is actively trying to acquire and redraft him, emphasizing that the buy window is about to close.

The source recommends rostering Emmanuel Wilson and allocating 8-10% of FAB to pick him up off waivers; Wilson should have been the backup all along and produces when given opportunity, making him a potential league-winner in the Seahawks backfield.

The source identifies George Kittle as bounced back and back to life with 4 for 4, 80 yards, a touchdown, and 18 fantasy points; the source notes he is an every-week must-start if rostered, though there is some hesitation about week-to-week consistency.

The source identifies Greg Dulcich as a tight end dud who bricked in week three.

Jahmyr Gibbs is the CMC in the North, getting elite usage with historic top-10 all-time scoring still in his range of outcomes. Despite having only one play over 21 yards this year so far, he has been incredible with consistent production, demonstrating that his scoring is not dependent on explosive runs but rather on elite opportunity and volume.

Waddle bounced back as WR9 this week after being a dud last week; the source attributes the turnaround to Sean Payton taking over play-calling duties and designing more plays for him, validating the investment thesis despite early-season concerns.

The source notes that Jaylen Warren still looks good but has not been productive from a fantasy standpoint in terms of usage; the source would play him if healthy but also recommends rostering Emmanuel Wilson as a handcuff.

Jonah Coleman is an early-season hero with RB9 finish (10 carries, 39 rushing yards, touchdown, 3 receptions for 19 yards, 40% snap share, 14.8 PPR points). He has received high praise from Sean Payton, the coaching staff, Jalen Waddell, and Maurice Jones-Drew for his veteran play and willingness to sacrifice stats for the team (e.g., taking a slide to kill the clock against Jacksonville). This locker room respect and rook status will elevate his priority in the offense. The source did not expect this opportunity this early and is very hyped about the Denver Broncos backfield, which is showing profit through Coleman.

Jonathan Taylor finished as RB1 in Week 2 with 24 carries, 92 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and 4 receptions for 29 fantasy points. Despite being considered a safe first-round pick (pick 7-10) and potentially lulling people to sleep, he continues to deliver and hit high water marks, especially given his high draft cost. He is the catalyst of the Colts offense, and with improved play from Daniel Jones, the offense is trending positively. The source notes that the dopamine hit of an upside pick versus the safety and surety of Jonathan Taylor sometimes causes people to overlook his consistent production.

Tyson is pacing for 140-150 targets and will command significant volume in Kellen Moore's Saints offense; his presence alongside Olave provides ceiling upside and validates the offensive scheme's elite nature.

The source is rolling with Justin Herbert this week against the Bills, noting that while the matchup is not as daunting as it appears, Herbert can eat and get back on track.

Jefferson had a down week due to game flow and weather but the source is not worried one bit; Kyler Murray is expected to return, which should improve Jefferson's outlook significantly.

The source indicates Jefferson will be brought back into lineups after being benched, signaling a return to active fantasy consideration.

Kenneth Walker is the fully actualized version of the prophecy; 132 total yards with elite usage in the Chiefs' balanced attack. As Mahomes recovers and becomes more comfortable, the offense is shifting from relying on him to carry the team to a balanced attack that leans on Walker as the go-to weapon and get-out-of-jail-free card. The source notes this is what was prayed for when he was in Seattle, and he cannot be ranked much lower than three or four moving forward in weekly rankings.

McConkey is a dud this week (3 receptions, 35 yards, WR60) and the entire Chargers offense looks disjointed; the source expected McConkey to ascend to Chris Olave levels with Mike McDaniel's arrival, but the offense looks like players forgot how to play football, suggesting a potential sinking ship despite earlier hype.

Burden is benched along with the entire Chicago Bears offense until further notice due to Caleb Williams being out for the next few weeks and Case Keenum being the next man up.

The source notes Michael Mayer as a tight end dud, indicating that despite two good weeks and opportunity, he has not hit for fantasy purposes.

The source is hyped about Michael Penix's return and expects him to significantly elevate Drake London's ceiling; Penix's per-target and per-route metrics have historically been very aggressive, and the source projects two passing touchdowns for Penix in the upcoming game against Green Bay, which would facilitate ceiling games for London.

Washington is commanding alpha volume and is now confirmed as the Jaguars' WR1; he has 12 targets and 37% target share per route run, behind only JSN league-wide, and nearly scored again this week despite a quiet game overall; the source projects him as a top-five performer and confirms he will be their WR1 going forward.

The source warns that Puka Nakua may be dealing with a multi-week absence; teams are releasing breadcrumb updates about his status, with inconsistent messaging that suggests a potential shutdown similar to past patterns, making him a hero-to-duds candidate.

The source selects Puka Nakua as the preferred rest-of-season option over Denzel Washington and Terry McLaurin, indicating confidence in his long-term fantasy value despite recent injury concerns.

Quinshawn Judkins is a dud after two weeks, with very bad efficiency on the ground and no real touchdown equity. The source questions how bad rock bottom is for Judkins, noting that he has been inefficient on the ground despite being a very talented player. However, the source notes that Deshaun Watson spiked a really good game, so if that is prescriptive, the offense could improve. The source recommends leaving him out of the lineup right now but notes that without Samson, the PPR floor could improve if Watson continues to target him. In redraft, the source recommends waiting for a good matchup (Panthers at home in Week 3) to sell him, as the next three weeks feature tougher matchups (Panthers, Steelers, Jets, Ravens). The source would play him this week against the Panthers because he expects to be able to sell him off a pop.

The source identifies Judkins as a potential upside play against a weak run defense in Week 3, worth taking a chance on despite limited early-season production.

Bateman faces the Cowboys in Week 3, but field conditions in Brazil are expected to be poor, creating buyer-beware risk; the source notes that international field conditions can create shittery similar to past Brazil games.

Stevenson is a dud this week because Travion Henderson's long touchdown run signals a potential shift from Stevenson's 80% snap share in the playoffs to a true timeshare; Henderson was drastically mispriced and will generate spike weeks, forcing Stevenson into a reduced role.

Odunze is in concussion protocol and the source is benching the entire Chicago Bears offense until further notice due to Caleb Williams being out for the next few weeks and Case Keenum being the next man up.

Diggs faces a tough matchup against the Seahawks in Week 3 and should be benched if possible; the source recommends leaving as many Commanders off the docket this week as possible.

The source highlights Terrence Ferguson as a breakout tight end with 17.4 fantasy points, 58% snap share, nine targets, six receptions, and a touchdown; he is owned in only 13% of Sleeper and 18.9% of ESPN leagues, making him a potential league-winner at the position.

The source mentions Terry McLaurin as part of a rest-of-season comparison with Denzel Washington and Puka Nakua, noting there has been glowing commentary about him, but the source ultimately prefers Puka Nakua for ROS.

The source notes Travis Kelce was called as a stud all offseason, especially in best ball and redraft leagues; he finished as tight end two on the week with 25 fantasy points, 9 of 11 receiving, 101 yards, and a touchdown, ranking third in tight end receiving yards.

Tucker is a hero this week as WR7 with 5 receptions, 119 yards, and 1 TD on 7 targets; he has accumulated more yards than Jamar Chase, George Pickens, and Drake London through two weeks and faces the Saints on the road in Week 3.

The source identifies Tucker Craft as a tight end dud with only 3.5 fantasy points due to the Packers offense struggling with turnovers; the source expects better weeks ahead.

Bagent is in concussion protocol, contributing to the source's decision to bench the entire Chicago Bears offense until further notice.
