King Mustafa (3-0) 130.8 vs. Brad (2-1) 100.2
Amari Cooper lead Moose’s team with 23.2 points. Lamar Jackson had to play against an actual defense and scored 21.2 points. Moose’s outbidding Brad for Packers D/ST proved to be highly effective as they scored 17 against Joe Flacco’s Broncos. Brad got 24.9 from Dalvin Cook and 24.7 from Evan Engram, but started the wrong Qb as Russell Wilson went off on his bench. Winston decided to target Mike Evans early and often, leaving Chris Godwin as an afterthought and Brad had 6 players in single digits.
Trey (1-2) 130.3 vs. Mike (1-2) 133.5
What turned out to be the best game of the week was a close one! Trey got an incredible 43.2 from Mike Evans to the tune of 8 catches, 190 yards and 3 touchdowns. Marlon Mack was serviceable with 15.6 points and free agent acquisition Will Dissly continued to impress with 14.6. Mike was lead by Deshaun Watson’s and Tyler Lockett’s 28.8 points each. Joe Mixon showed up for Mike with his best game of the season, scoring 16.3 points against a formidable Bills Defense. Bitter loss for Trey, potential season-saving win for Mike.
Chase (1-2) 116.6 vs. Joe (1-2) 141.2
Chase seemed to have a shot going into SNF with Odell Beckham Jr. squaring off against Cooper Kupp and Greg Zuerlein. Patrick Mahomes “regression” from 50 touchdowns has him on pace for 6,384 yards and 58 touchdowns through 3 weeks of the NFL season. He scored a cool 30.7 for Chase. Julio continued to Julio with 25. O.J. Howard showed up for 7.8 fantasy points. Joe was lead by Jameis Winston with 28.5, Christian McCaffrey’s 31 (who ripped off a 76 yard touchdown run), and Cooper Kupp’s 29.6. Kupp looks fully recovered from the ACL tear that ended his 2018 season. Shouldn’t have come across as a surprise considering the Browns Defense was without their starting SS, FS, CB, and LB. Joe gets his first win of the season.
Kenny (2-1) 90.4 vs. Scotty (2-1) 113.7
Kenny didn’t just lose this game against Scotty, he lost #1 Overall Pick Saquon Barkley for 4-8 weeks due to a high ankle sprain. This absolutely sucks as Barkley is a lot of fun to watch and things were looking for the G-Men with Daniel Jones taking over. He got a surprising 26.6 from Phillip Lindsay who scored a pair of touchdowns and 18.8 from Adam Thielen. Scotty was led by an inspirational performance from Alvin Kamara who scored 31.7 fantasy points. Brady got 23.1 and #1 Patriots D/ST got 15.
Katon (1-2) 150.3 vs. Jen (0-3) 68.7
At one point in this match it looked like Katon had a chance to beat Jen by 100 points. Keenan Allen went off for 38.8, Chicago D/ST got 25 and Matt Ryan got 25.3 for Katon. Jen’s highest scorer was “Scary” Terry McLaurin with 15.4. 7 players scored in single digits. But not sure what we expect after she lost her 2nd, 5th, 6th and 14th round picks to injury so far.
JD (3-0) 136.8 vs. Tommy (1-2) 115.3
Tommy was in trouble since TNF when Henry put up a modest 11 points. Greg Olsen led his team in scoring with 21.9 points. Hilton and Edelman both got knocked out of their games, but put up serviceable 15 and 15.7 fantasy points, respectively, before exited their contests. JD moved to 3-0 on the season with 22.5 from Dak Prescott, 36.1 from Mark Ingram who is Rb#3 to start the year, and 22.3 from Darren Waller acquired via the 3-way trade. Had this been a kicker bowl it would have been an epic 1-2 final score with Tommy taking it.
Week 4 Preview
***Game of the Week***
JD (3-0) vs. Mike (1-2)
JD and Moose are the only undefeated teams remaining, but JD will be tested this week by Mike’s group. Jd has Dak Prescott facing the Saints in New Orleans on SNF. Saints have given up rushing touchdowns to Watson, Goff, and 2 to Russell Wilson last week. Prescott is a must start in this one. Mike features Deshaun Watson going up against Carolina. Kyle Allen is starting for Carolina, so should be a competitive game. Mark Ingram faces Cleveland for JD and #5 TE Darren Waller faces Indianapolis. Mike has Justin Jackson vs. Miami, Michael Thomas against Dallas, and Tyler Lockett vs. Arizona’s lack of a secondary that just got torched by Curtis Samuel and DJ Moore. Brandin Cooks faces TB who gave up a lot of points to Sterling Shepherd and Evan Engram last week. This game will come down to Monday Night Football with JD having JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyler Boyd and Mike will have Joe Mixon and Vance McDonald. I just feel bad that these two will be glued to their televisions and having to listen to Booger McFarland say the stupidest shit imaginable. Look for JD to come out swinging with Davante Adams against Philly on TNF.
King Mustafa (3-0) vs. Joe (1-2)
Both teams coming off big wins in Week 3 setting up a nice Week 4 matchup. Lamar Jackson faces Cleveland, who has a good pass rush, but has a myriad of injuries to their secondary. Nick Chubb faces Baltimore in that same game who just surrendered a pair of touchdowns to LeSean McCoy last week. Amari Cooper will be matched up against Marshon Lattimore on SNF at the Dome. Austin Ekeler is in a smash spot @ Miami. Packers D/ST on TNF should continue to have success against a Philly team minus a lot of weapons. Joe will have someone at Quarterback versus whoever they play. Christian McCaffrey is @ Houston. Cooper Kupp, Joe’s hero and namesake faces Tampa Bay’s defense who just got torched by Danny Dimes. From Josh Gordon down this lineup is gross and Moose should win.
Scotty (2-1) vs. Jen (0-3)
It doesn’t look good John. It does. Not. Look. Good. Jen is predicted a paltry 80.2 points and George Kittle has his bye week. Scotty has Kamara vs. Dallas on SNF and Aaron Jones vs. Philly on TNF. Spread out his players like butter on toast. Mhmmmmm.
Brad (2-1) vs. Trey (1-2)
Brad coming off his worst game of the season vs. Trey coming off his best, despite him not coming away with the W. Brad will have Russell Wilson @ Arizona, #1 Fantasy Rb Dalvin Cook against a tough Bears D/ST, #1 Fantasy TE Evan Engram vs. Washington. Trey has A-Rod on TNF, Marlon Mack and Josh Jacobs facing one another, DeAndre Hopkins against Carolina, and Will Dissly @ Arizona. Brad is hoping James Conner can prove to be a first round pick this week against a Bengals Defense that has been gouged by the run every week. Brad will have to wait until MNF to see if that happens. The real story of this matchup is Chris Godwin vs. Mike Evans. Godwin outscored Evans in Weeks 1 and 2, but Evans exploded last week, leading to Evans being ranked 9th fantasy wideout and Godwin being ranked 21st. They face a tough Rams Defense led by Wade Phillips. The Bruce Arians offensive mind vs. the Wade Phillips defensive mind will be an good watch this weekend.
Kenny (2-1) vs. Chase (1-2)
K-Dub loses Saquon, which definitely is a huge hit for his squad. Despite me giving him crap for having Wayne Gallman on his bench, Kenny proves the wiser as Daniel Jones makes Gallman relevant. Lindsay will hope to have a repeat performance vs. Jacksonville. Kenny Golladay faces KC. Detroit is a slow-paced team and KC is a fast-paced team, so it’ll be interesting to see if the game slows down or if Detroit speeds up. Kenny has two good defenses to choose from, Charges @ Miami or Rams against a turnover prone Jameis Winston. Chase has Patrick Mahomes, the God of Wind, @ Detroit. Dome game? Yes please. Chase has *checks notes* two Top 20 running backs in LeSean McCoy and *checks notes again* Rex Burkhead. Julio Jones faces Tennessee and Odell Beckham Jr. faces Baltimore. This should be a close game.
Katon (1-2) vs. Tommy (1-2)
Katon coming in hot gets Tommy minus Le’Veon Bell due to bye week. Tommy will have to monitor Julian Edelman and TY Hilton this week as both were banged up last week. Todd Gurley sucks, Greg Olsen is a God and Derrick Henry faces Atlanta. Katon has Zeke @ Saints, who are okay at stopping the run right now as long as you aren’t a Qb. #1 Fantasy Wideout Keenan Allen is @ Miami, Robert Woods is a sneaky DFS play against Tampa Bay with all the attention on Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp. Larry Fitzgerald faces Seattle’s garbage ass secondary. Katon is going to win this one. Big.
Thanks and Good Luck this Week!
