Similar to Week 1, our lineups in Week 2 had all the right guys, but not in all of the right places. It felt good to know that people are winning money with all of the hard work that I put into these articles. Usually, I post these articles and don’t hear anything from anyone but last week I had a few people DM me about how they rode with me and they made some money. We are here for the Brinks trucks only, nothing else. I know how I do week in and week out, but for other people to see results is why we do this. Just this past Thursday, our good friend won a fat 5 grand in a GPP and I couldn’t be happier that he got that info from FFD, because the man has a wedding to pay for. You are welcome (not really it was all you buddy). Trust the process, keep putting lineups in, back up Brinks trucks.
Now, is it just me or has this NFL season felt strange with everything that has gone on so far through the first two weeks? A lot of players that we expect to explode for big weeks decide not to show up, and then Aaron Jones (I still hate you) is the RB1 through two weeks. I will say this, Raheem Mostert would’ve finished with 50 fantasy points if he didn’t get hurt last week. We are getting after a few different games this week, and surprisingly paying up at QB for the most part this week. I feel generous so once again will be giving you two, yes, two lineups for you guys this week.

Miles Sanders- $7400
Miles Sanders is the only good thing that the Eagles have going for them this season. This week he faces the Bengals terrible defense that has let up five rushing TDs, and has allowed 185 yards per game so far this season. The former Penn State back rushed for 95 yards, caught 3 passes for 39 yards and found his way into the end zone twice in his season debut last week. Locked and loaded into a bunch of my lineups.

Kenyon Drake- $6500
Kenyon Drake and the Cardinals face off against the pussycat Lions defense this week. The Lions have let up a league worst 204 rushing yards per game, and three touchdowns to add to it. Kenyon Drake was talking smack to people that own him in fantasy, which means that he will naturally go off this week. Lock him in your lineups as a top 5 RB this week.

Jonathan Taylor- $6700
Let the rookie eat against the worst team in the NFL. The Jets are making a mockery of how football should be played. They can’t seem to do anything right on either side of the ball. Last week, Taylor rushed for 26 times for 101 yards and a touchdown. He added 2 receptions and a touchdown through the air. What has been surprising for Taylor has been the workload he has received through the air. Last week, Raheem Mostert was on his way to 300 yards on 4 touches, but he got hurt early in the game. Taylor will be feasting on this team for sure.
James Conner- $7100
Nobody will own him, perfect for tournament plays, especially if the Steelers get up early on the Texans. Will see a few of my GPP games for some sprinkles on a contrarian lineup.
Joshua Kelly- $5900
Great value play at RB this week against that terrible Panthers D. I will be sticking with these mid level running backs for Week 3 because I don’t love any of these top guys this week. The Panthers have let up 6 rushing touchdowns in the first two weeks, and Kelly will be that goal line guy for the Chargers. On DraftKings I will also be playing Ekeler in many lineups with Herbert at QB for the check downs.
Chase Edmonds- $5000
A little tournament play for the boys back home. Getting that value against the Lions could pan out and he will see the light of day in a few of my lineups.

Corey Davis- $5300
Never thought I’d see the day that I would be sitting here talking about Corey Davis, but here we are. I couldn’t believe my eyes Week 1 when he had 7 catches for 101 yards. This week, he goes up against the Vikings who have looked abysmal on defense, and without AJ Brown this week the ball must go somewhere. If you know me, you know my hate for Corey Davis so trust me it will take a lot for me to put him in a lineup.

Tyler Lockett/ DK Metcalf- $6800/ $6500
Chalk, Chalk, and more Chalk. I will own shares of both Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf because we need to LET RUSS COOK. This will most likely be the highest scoring game of the week, so you will want a piece of the action here.

Diontae Johnson- $6300
Diontae Johnson is quietly becoming a stud for the Steelers. This week, the Texans are coming to town and they still don’t have a lockdown cornerback to stop Johnson or Juju. Johnson comes into Week 3 with 14 receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown. The Texans have actually been pretty solid against the pass, but mainly because they were down early vs the Chiefs and the Ravens.
Allen Robinson- $6900
Here at FFD, we are big believers that Mitch Trubisky is bad at football. We (specifically me) also believe that Allen Robinson is an absolute stud. In both games this year, the volume has been there for ARob with 9 targets. Unfortunately, the fantasy points have not shown up with those targets, but I believe this week is the week he racks up those points. This game will be closer than most people think, and in my opinion, the Bears will be playing from behind.

All Cowboys WRs- Cooper $7000 Gallup 5700 Lamb $5600
For the same reason why we are playing the Seahawks WRs, we are back in on the Cowboys WRs. Add in the fact that the Seahawks have given up 415.5 passing yards per game this season, this has all the traits to be a massive game for someone in this WR core. Will be owning shares of everyone to cover my bases.
Jonnu Smith- $5600
Tannehill’s favorite guy in the red zone and through the first two games this year, seems to be his best buddy overall. Even before the start of the season, I couldn’t understand why all these so-called “experts” were low on Jonnu. He already has tied his career high in TDs, and has 4 catches for at least 35 yards and a touchdown in the first two games. With AJ Brown out, his target share could increase even more than it has been so far this season.
Dalton Schultz- $4900
Schultz broke onto the scene last week catching 9 of 10 targets, for 88 yards and one touchdown in the miraculous comeback last week. Do I expect him to continue producing these kind of numbers? No, but he will be used for sure which makes the price worth the opportunity, especially in this high scoring matchup. We touched upon Bobby Wagner and how he has given up the most YAC over the last 18 games, and it's more than enough for me to throw him in a few lineups.
Dak Prescott- $8500
The Seahawks have allowed 6 different top 30 fantasy scoring WRs through 2 games. I will own shares of Dak stacks with all of the Cowboys WRs and you can add in the upside in his rushing stats.
Ryan Tannehill- $7400
Stacking Tannehill with Corey Davis and Jonnu Smith to get some free points that nobody else will have in their lineups this week.
Colts D-
Adam Gase is the worst coach in NFL history and it amazes me that he has a job in my city.
