Quarterbacks

• Two strong performances to start off the year, looks like this new offense is worth the hype.
• He's now thrown for 450 passing yards and 6 touchdowns through two weeks and is currently sitting at QB1 in fantasy.
• With two great outside threats in Sanders and Thomas, and a real ground game w/ C.J. Anderson leading the way ( ypc) behind a much-improved offensive line, Siemian is definitely going to be a thing in 2017, especially for streamers.
• People will continue to label him a game manager and exploiter of short passes, but his ADOT (8.5 in 2017, 9.2 in 2016) continues to prove otherwise.
• He gets two matchups against teams that have performed okay against the pass so far in 2017 statistically, but they've both played the Jets and not much more. Seimian should be a fine stream at Buffalo and home vs. Oakland over the next two.

Running Backs

• He was my number one pickup last week, and if you didn't listen to me last week, now's the time to turn your brain on and do so since Seattle's back is still available in 60% of Yahoo leagues.
• Even with Thomas Rawls back, and supposedly getting eased into a workload, Carson should be the guy going forward.
• The list of accomplishments for Carson starts with forcing Eddie Lacy to be a healthy scratch for the Hawks' Week 2 game against SF. He then outsnapped Rawls 51-16, getting fed like a workhorse finishing with 21 touches and 100 total yards. He continuously made something out of nothing behind the Seahawks disgusting offensive line, if you want to call it that.
• C.J. Prosise was a bit more involved in this game, also getting 16 snaps and saw 6 targets which he converted into just 22 yards. He'll continue to have a place, but Carson is proving what's left of the Seattle backfield's talent redundant.
• If the Hawks can somehow turn around their offensive line play, Carson has RB1 potential. He has two heart-eye emoji matchups in Weeks 3 and 4.

• Rob Kelley left Washington's Week 2 game with what was believed to be a fractured rib, but turns out to be something to do with his rib cartilage, and is considered "day-to-day" and we should know more by Wednesday. Kelley was running really well (12 carries, 78 yards), before he left and Perine took over as the workhorse, getting 21 carries for the remainder.
• Perine didn't look great, racking up just 67 yards (3.19 ypc), but the Skins clearly want to run the ball in close games, so the volume will be there. If Kelley is back, the carries should still be heavily in favor of Fat Rob, and if not, Perine will be the favorite for early down work, a likely 15+ carry candidate, but losing work to Chris Thompson who balled out in Week 2. 
• I'm much lower on Perine than most, simply because even if, best case scenario, Kelley misses 2-4 weeks, it's not the primary ball carrier in Washington's backfield isn't exactly a fantasy cash cow. He's an RB2/flex play at best. And I also don't expect Kelley to miss that time given the his diagnosis. Don't overspend on Perine.

• If you're in a PPR league and in need of an RB3/flex, look not further than Darren Sproles. 
• It's the second week in a row Sproles has lead the backfield in snaps and receptions on a team that's thrown the ball 85 times through two games. Sproles saw 44 snaps, compared to Wendell Smallwood's 14 and Blount's 6. Blount didn't even get a single carry, and Smallwood saw 3, compared to 10 for Sproles. It's clear he's the only back to own here, there's not much more to it.
• The ONLY time Sproles might be phased out would be as heavy favorites, against a CLV or IND, but none of the next 4 would suggest that.

Wide Receivers

• Corey Coleman out indefinitely with a broken hand, and Kenny Britt fading, Higgins looks like a bright spot here.
• He was promoted just 4 days ago from the practice squad but made a big splash in Week 2, catching 7-of-11 targets for 95 yards aka a PPR owner's wet dream. He played in 54-of-71 snaps, 12 more than Britt and was listed as a starter on the Browns unofficial depth chart this week.
• Higgins, only 22, is a favorite of Matt Harmon and his reception perception breakdowns, aka, he's very technically sound/is a fantastic route runner = not flukey.
• Lacking weapons on offense, Higgins could surprise PPR owners for the ROS with WR3/flex value going forward. Doesn't hurt that he gets the Colts, Bengals and Jets over the next three weeks.

• I can't believe I've finally succumb to the bullshit of Kendall Wright and putting him on this list, but Sunday was a perfect example of what we should expect going forward.
• A bad team, with bad players getting and undeserved hefty starter-amount of volume. 
• With their top two wideouts, Cameron Meredith and Kevin White ded, they have to throw 11 guys on the field.. that's the rule I guess. And Wright happens to be one of the 11 blessed players in Chicago.
• After playing in just 58% of the team's snaps in Week 1, he became an every snap player (86%) last week as they got shmacked by TB. He caught 7-of-10 targets for 69 SEND IT, targets.
• I'd never advise wasting a pick up on Wright outside of full PPR and I doubt the Bears will get whooped this bad weekly. 7 of his 10 targets came after the team was already down 23-0. He should have had 2 more catches but blatantly dropped them. Either way, only one pass traveled further than like 7 yards, he basically has 0 touchdown or big play upside. He's a WR4 in full PPR, with 4 tough passing matchups in as many games.

Tight End

• Gronk's injury isn't believed to be serious, but I'd consider him more week-to-week than the reports that put him at day-to-day given the nature of groin injuries.
• The Pats are hurtin', pun intended, in the category of weapons with almost all of their pass catchers banged up.
• If Gronk misses time, and it's not a sure thing, Allen could wind up seeing 5-7 targets, a couple of which will probably be near the endzone.
• This is more for the TE streamers than those looking for a long-term replacement, Allen is yet to catch a pass in 2017. But there's a time and place for everyone. Would you be remotely surprised if he scored twice on Sunday?
• Didn't think so, although the matchup with Houston is awful for TEs.

• I don't think a lot of people knew this, but Dennis Pitta lead all TEs in receptions (86) last season. Que Benjamin Watson.
• After a terrible Week 1, the 72-year old turned it around against a swiss cheese Cleveland defense, catching all 8 of his targets for 91 yards and played in 74% of the teams snaps.
• This offense loves to use its tight ends and we might see Watson emerge as the guy here, after he was signed to be in 2016 but suffered a season ending injury in the preseason.
• Now, back and healthy, Watson gets a matchup in London with the Jags who've let up the 3rd most fantasy points to the TE position in 2017.
• With all the TE injuries this week, if you're in desperate need of a replacement, Watson's a top-2 option on the wire.

• The case here is simple... Jordan Reed can't stay healthy. The Skins TE1 is now not only dealing with a supposed fractured toe, but an "SC Joint Sprain". He's listed as day-to-day, but I heard from a guy, who knows a guy, that this sprain is more painful than the AC joint sprain he dealt with last year that held him out/made him a decoy for weeks.
• Davis is no animal with Reed out, though. In 2016, there were 8 games in which Reed played in less than 50% of snaps (sat out 4-of-8), Davis averaged 4.9 targets, 3.25 receptions, just over 41 yards and scored just once.  
• He does, however, get a nice matchup at home versus Oakland and this game's over/under of 54 is by far the highest of Week 3 as of this writing.
• Reed did come back in the game after he left with the injury which for the most part points to him suiting up the following week, but it's worth monitoring.

• I hate this, but I'm gonna do it. ASJ is one of those fantasy players that the same analysts predict a breakout on year-in and year-out, only to dissapoint each time. BUT, if he does ever have that good szn szn, they'll come out the woodworks like some Nostradamus mfs. 
• Anyways, ASJ served his 3 game sspn to begin the szn and has a clear path to targets. A lot went wrong in TB for the hyped, athletic/versatile TE, both on and off the field, but the problems are supposedly in the past. He's rid himself of booze (what an idiot), and supposedly lost 25lbs while looking great throughout the summer, but who didn't lose 25lbs and look great in July? The only guy I know for certain is Eddie Lacy.
• Again as ridiculously heavy underdogs moving forward, plenty of passing volume will be available moving forward and the Jets have no real redzone options in the passing game.
• We remember what Josh McCown did in Cleveland with Gary Barnidge. The 60-year old TE averaged 4.5 catches on over 7 targets, 59 receiving yards and half a touchdown a game while McCown was under center. Believe it or not, McCown has been competent in the green uniform ranking 8th among QBs in adjusted completion percentage, and is QB15 in fantasy at the moment.
• I'm not starting him right away, but ASJ has the potential to be a top 12-14 TE for the rest of season if he can stay healthy.
