Last week was the biggest offensive showings of the year, and we’ll tell you who you should be adding or dropping from your lineup.
We answer some of the most common questions of the week.
If you want your fantasy football question featured, follow me @ImThatSupi.
Am I chasing points by starting De’Von Achane this week?
If you’re expecting another 50-point outing, then yes. But realistically, he could finish inside the top 15. The game against the Broncos was an anomaly, but we saw his snap share go from 10% in Week 2 to 41% in Week 3. Raheem Mostert will not be completely phased out unless we know he’s injured, which is possible. The Dolphins are looking like the most explosive offense and the type that can support multiple fantasy-relevant players.
Is it time to drop Justin Fields?
Just about at this point. You’re likely 1-2 or even 0-3 if you’re starting Fields, and we’re seeing regression. He’s 31st in true passer rating, has the most danger plays, and just 3.0 air yards per attempt.
I’m hesitant to start him even against the Broncos, who just got a 70-point bashing dropped on them last week. If he doesn’t have an excellent performance this week, it might be time to cut your losses.
Are you more confident in Joshua Palmer or Quentin Johnston?
It’s been brutal for Johnston, as he’s yet to finish in the top 90. It’s not entirely his fault, because he’s not getting opportunities. He’s 99th in routes run, 92nd in route participation, and 85th in catchable targets.
With Williams out, we should see him get more targets, but Justin Herbert has been heavily leaning on Keenan Allen, and that could increase.
Palmer had that stretch last year when Allen and Williams were out where he finished top ten in two of three games and had 14 PPR points last week. You’ll see Palmer be favored, which is unfortunate if you drafted Johnston in the mid-rounds.
Will Sam LaPorta finish as a top-five tight end?
Yes, si, oui, ja. I was on the LaPorta bandwagon during the NFL draft season, and his landing spot in Detroit is a perfect fit. LaPorta’s route run percentage jumped from 55.6% in Week 1 to over 80% in back-to-back weeks. He is being targeted on 26.5% of routes and averaging 2.0 yards per route run. LaPorta is someone you should be inquiring about ing redraft and dynasty formats.
Should I be nervous about Tyjae Spears taking over the Titans’ backfield?
Not yet. This is still Derrick Henry‘s backfield. Spears has created some highlights, but Henry has out-carried him 51 to 15. Although Spears has a higher snap count in two of three games, Henry is getting the ball in 54.2% of his snaps, with Spears at only 17.6%.
He’s a good handcuff right now, because if Henry goes down, look for 20 touches easily.
Who is someone who’s struggling but you’re holding onto?
I still believe in Skyy Moore. After Week 1, I scooped him up after people rage-dropped him because some excellent matchups are coming.
The Jets will be tough, especially if he matches up with Sauce Gardner, but after that, they play Minnesota, Denver, Los Angeles Chargers, Denver, Miami, Philadelphia, and Las Vegas. All of these teams are in the bottom-eleven in points allowed per game to wide receivers. If Moore isn’t inside the top 15 through the first three of those games, then you can call it a day.
What is the best Taylor Swift Song for a football game?
Blank Space because that’s what you want your receivers and running backs to see when they have the ball. Maybe End Game, or because of some of my trade choices, Should’ve Said No.
