Hell of a game tonight!! 3-0 Miami Dolphins vs Cincy Bengals, I’m pumped (esp after that boring Monday night football game). Personally I think Cincy wins, but I just have no how they are going to do so, so I went with the money line bet. I don’t know if that’s a smart bet or not, but I could just easily see this being a really close game.
My favorite part of the game tonight is the uniforms. Miami has their normal sweet looking road unis and the Bengals are wearing their all white unis. Love those!
Good luck to y’all’s FF teams and bets tonight.

Hueristic, aren't you supposed to be an underdog 
Hopefully Yahoo is wrong with its projections, as it usually is.

LOL, Yeah yahoo is notoriously bad but it all depends on who's going to be a last second scratch this week for me.
I can't even drop the spare fucking kicker yet!
It appears that I might also bench one of my team's main players. Can anyone guess who he is? Yes, it is the easily injured Christian McCaffrey hehehehe. According to the news, Panthers headcoach Matt Rhule ignored all questions asking about McCaffrey's injury which might imply that it might be more serious than speculated. Hockenson is also questionable because of a foot injury.
Best I can do is offer you Gordon for him.
Was just traveling home from work out of town and had a good deal of time to listen to some sports radio and one of the big things they came up was just how banged up the Chargers are. The big one for the entire offense is one of thier starting O-Lineman being out right now. I can’t remember exactly which position he plays but I know he’s one of their top 5 best players, and obviously that hurts the whole offense. I’ve got Herbert in another league so obviously a bit worried. I think offense will bounce back, I wouldn’t give up hope in Ekeler yet, but yeah nice matchup this week with the Texans !
Yeah, chargers in deep shit atm, they are beat to shit on both sides with Bosa out for the season as well.

Dolphins remain unbeaten, yet another impressive win! I'm not sure why officials allowed Tua to continue after that play at the end of the first half, aren't there concussion protocols in place? He clearly looked knocked out, if you haven't seen the video:
I watched that game and honestly I could not believe my eyes, the Bills should have won that game easily and yet they committed so many mistakes the Dolphins somehow found a way to win, now about Tua, I really hope there is an investigation because it is obvious this was not a back problem and the Dolphins are trying to cover it up.W0w, Great week guys!
Congrats Southpark, we both really needed this win!
BBC, your really shining congrats as well!
Hopefully we can keep it close without anyone running away this season.
We really needed it, going 0-3 would have been a disaster for any of us, and bbc.reporter is really crushing the league at the moment with Lamar playing so well, however I will admit that it worries me as he is obviously trying to show his value and get a better contract, but if he is not careful this could result in an injury.Congrats Southpark, we both really needed this win!

Not looking good for any of us who have Chargers players in their squads, especially the left tackle going down. Herbert is literally a hit or two from not playing at all. I wish he didn't play on Sunday. I mean just look at all the injuries they have:
Yeah, I benched Connors this week and now I'm benching Ekeler (couldn't talk myself into benching both this week) on my other team. At least I have Gordon sitting on the bench.

I was planning on benching Ekeler on week 4 but the LAC are facing Houston, if they cannot run the ball on Houston of all teams then I will be forced to bench Ekeler for some time, fortunately for me I went RB heavy during the draft or right now I will be in deep trouble with my first round pick not being as productive as I thought he would be.
Ohh shit didn't notice that, guess he gets a reprieve for another week!

@DireWolfM14. I am also watching the game and I am presently getting worried already hehehe. The Bombay Bengal's projected points is only 3 points away from my total fantasy points for week 3. It is very clear that another touchdown from Saquon or Elliot will give him the win for this week.
Also, if this goes to overtime, I will lose week 3.

I need three sacks and a turnover from the Cowboys' defense tonight and also keep the Giants away from scoring more than 27pts.
Jones has 1x fumble and an interception in those first two games, has also been sacked 8 times....just 5 points, pretty pleaaase! Let's go Big D!
You should have asked for a blocked field goal.Jones has 1x fumble and an interception in those first two games, has also been sacked 8 times....just 5 points, pretty pleaaase! Let's go Big D!
Lol, don't ask and ye shall receive anyway.
Watching the game with Payton and Eli is funny, they make it hard not to root for the Giants. Even if it's mostly rooting against the Cowboys.
That offensive pass interference penalty that drove the Giants back to 3rd and 23 was BS.

LOL, Kinda thought this would happen so grabbed Philly's D but had to play a Redskins WR due to Keenan screwing me again.

So to recap for #Chargers...
• QB: fractured rib cartilage
• All-Pro center: knee injury
• All-Pro LT likely to miss season with torn biceps
• No. 1 receiver has strained hamstring
• Top pass rusher has groin injury
• Top CB not responding as expected from ankle surgery
• QB: fractured rib cartilage
• All-Pro center: knee injury
• All-Pro LT likely to miss season with torn biceps
• No. 1 receiver has strained hamstring
• Top pass rusher has groin injury
• Top CB not responding as expected from ankle surgery
PS. Russ is perma cooking on my bench, Broncos offense is such a mess right now. I'm either streaming QBs the rest of the season or looking for a trade or something...idk
Giant fan here so I hope none of that happens but I'm also a realist so you shoukd see some of those happen. Fumble recovery probably over an interception but the Dallas d is good enough to get in on the giants line which struggles at times pass protecting. It's prime time and at giant stadium though so who knows what happens

AFA QB's well Kirk is pretty good for his floor and pretty dependable middle to upper of the mid tier. If you didn't grab an early QB it really drops off after the first 5, thats why I was hoping no-one would target Hurts as well. I got a bargain on him.
If I had to stream a QB off our wire right now I think I'd go Brissett for the highest floor but I would stick with Cousins in your spot.
For upside, Goff could have a great game but also he could put up single digits, I doubt he will do inbetween.

W0w, Great week guys!
Congrats Southpark, we both really needed this win!
BBC, your really shining congrats as well!
Hopefully we can keep it close without anyone running away this season.
This is not photoshopped! Wow..
I had to choose/stream between Goff and Wentz in another league, guess i dodged a bullet by not going Wentz, dude got sacked 9 times today.
LOL, Kinda thought this would happen so grabbed Philly's D but had to play a Redskins WR due to Keenan screwing me again.
Yup redskin...Deal with it!

Yeah that looked classic concussion wobble. They claimed it was a back issue so 🤷. I've never seen someone wobble like that unless their brains got scrambled for a second.
That was pretty bad, and didn't look like a back injury to me either. Post game announcers said that one of the coaches thought it was a head injury, but then they let him go back onto the field. I also heard that the NFL will be investigating the incident, so I'm sure we'll learn more in the following few days. I would venture to guess that Tua won't be in the line up this coming weekend. If I'm guessing right that it's a head injury, protocol will keep him sidelined for at least a week.
Miami and the Eagles are definitely the top 2 surprises to day. Eagles look real strong and seems as though the debate of jalen hurts good enough will be over. Can't see them replacing him playing this well. Dude has over 900 yards passing in his first 3 games and has played flawlessly.
Miami...dang, wasn't expecting that. I know adding hill was a power move but they look like they will battle Buffalo for first all year long.
....GO GIANTS.

That is surprising stuff, I doubt anyone would have guessed that Miami would be the only undefeated AFC team going into week 4, or that the only undefeated teams in the NFC would both be from Eastern division. I don't see the Cowboys winning tonight's game, so I'm expecting (and rooting for) the Giants to continue their streak. It's always nice to see games being so unpredictable, it makes for a much more competitive and fun season. The worst thing is when a team just runs away with it. Unless that team is the 9ers, of course. That wouldn't be bad.

Miami plays on a short week at Cincy on Thursday, interesting to see if he plays...
THAT BUTT PUNT THOUGH!!!

FUCK
Well way she goes
I was 2-0 my first week (across my two leagues)
1-1 week 2
0-2 week 3
Fuckin' way she goes
Making an impulse bet to make myself feel better... All in on Giants to cover @ -1.

It looks like everyone in our league will have at least one win and one loss after week 3, which I think is great.
Congrats to Cows and Barbarians for defeating the two top teams.

As much as I hate to lose, I agree this a good start to the season. It's great to have this kind of parity so early, it make it clear we'll all be competitive well into the latter part of the season.
Congrats to South Park and Hueristic on your first wins of the season. Wishing you each about 4 or 5 more, but that's it!
It was a horrible weekend for me, with my sucky fantasy team, and even more sucky Niners. Talk about safeties, how do you step out of the back of the endzone, then throw an interception? God damn, I hate it when Garoppolo gets jumpy in the 4th quarter. It's gotten to the point that whenever we go into the 4th with a lead, I just expect shit to collapse.
