Week 3 gives us more information to work with, but there are still plenty of variables to consider as roles, usage and opportunities continue to take shape. Brian Shade’s projection model provides a data-driven look at how players are expected to perform this week. With so many key injuries, especially at QB, you will see teams start to change strategies early in the season. The only way forward to approach fantasy analytically and look at how much points each team/player is projected for and then adjust your fantasy lineup. It’s going to be another crazy fantasy season and the only way through is forward.
