Week 3 fantasy defenses ahead of waivers.

How much NFL teams are using their WRs

Nothing better than falling asleep to us talking ball. Plus the debut of Brentley Weissman!!! youtu.be/IY6YcqCN9ws

Week 2 TE Usage (No SNF/MNF) 1. Ja'Tavion Sanders (no) (15.1 exp half PPR) 2. Jake Ferguson (14.6) 3. Tucker Kraft (yes) (11.7) 4. Juwan Johnson (11.3) 5. Tyler Warren (11.1) 6. Zach Ertz (9.5) 7. Mark Andrews (8.7) 8. Trey McBride (8.3) Others: Fannin (TE16), LaPorta (TE26)

Week 2 RB Usage (No SNF/MNF) 1. Alvin Kamara (19.0 exp half PPR) 2. Jonathan Taylor (18.9) 3. Javonte Williams (17.9) 4. Josh Jacobs (17.4) 5. James Cook (17.3) 6. De'Von Achane (16.4) 7. Christian McCaffrey (16.4) Others: Etienne (RB10), Skattebo (RB13)

Week 2 WR Usage (No SNF/MNF) 1. Davante Adams (26.4 exp half PPR) 2. Ja'Marr Chase (24.2) 3. Amon-Ra St. Brown (23.6) 4. Brian Thomas Jr. (21.4) 5. Hunter Renfrow??? (20.2) 6. Rome Odunze (19.1) 7. Malik Nabers (17.3) 8. George Pickens (16.3)

Packers 27, Commanders 18 takeaways: + NFC Bullies: Eagles and Packers + Rookie OTs switching sides can't block Micah + Tucker Kraft a ROS Top 5 TE? So good. + Routes after Reed: Doubs (17/22), Golden (16) + Bill not trusted in Ekeler pass game role yet + Deebo > Terry again

Jordan Love is so perfect for LaFleur. What a dot. Hope Jayden Reed's shoulder isn't as bad as it looks. Still don't know how he's just sprinting on a broken foot.

Trey McBride projects for 63.5 yards. My TE2 through TE20 in Week 2 rankings project for between 29.5 and 46.5 receiving yards in the Underdog lobby. We're just flipping coins for TDs... except for the McBride team.

This is too niche and I do need to touch grass, but the NFL needs to fix their injury report page. It no longer lists the injury or the day-by-day practice reports. There isn't a place to see all 32 injury reports all at once in the year 2025. If you have one, send me it.

You can see why the Jaguars are asking Travis Hunter to play some CB this week!

NFL Week 2 projected points

American mass media has been designed to inflame and divide since the literal earliest days of the republic. But the tech gets more insidious and ubiquitous with each passing generation. 24-hour news was bad enough. Now we literally keep it in our pocket and check it like a watch

Week 2 fantasy football defenses ahead of the waiver wire.

Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry being outliers in 2025??? Shocked!

The Lions were 3rd-worst in yards before contact in Week 1 without Ben Johnson, Frank Ragnow, and Kevin Zeitler. Only the Bengals and Raiders were worse.

Last healthy Cedric Tillman games: 8, 8, 11, 9, and 12 targets. Browns were 2nd in neutral pass rate in Week 1. He's on the flex radar in full PPR. We'll hit on him in waiver show tonight.

Most offenses use 3-WR sets on most snaps. The exceptions in Week 1: Steelers (35%), Packers (37%), 49ers (39%), Browns (42%), Cardinals (43%), and Ravens (45%). Easier for WRs to get a target in them.

The consensus from the Twitter docs is that Brock Bowers will be out a couple weeks with a PCL sprain (hopefully mild). Of note, do not trust Pete Carroll quotes with injuries ever. Should learn more soon.

In 2023, Michael Pittman had 12 more targets on RPOs than any other player in the NFL. In Week 1 this year, he was the only player with 3 targets on RPOs.

Most screen targets in Week 1: 1. Jonnu Smith (4) 2. Travis Hunter, Dylan Sampson, James Conner, Zay Flowers, JSN, Gainwell, Badie (3)

J.K. Dobbins (10.7 expected half PPR points), Tyler Badie (7.2), RJ Harvey (3.7).

Travis Hunter is a slot WR. 28/29 routes in 3-WR sets. 0/22 snaps in other sets, but that's only losing 5 routes because it's an 11-personnel passing offense. Good usage for him.

The Patriots used Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson fairly evenly in the 1st half, with the high-value touches going towards Mondre at the goal line and 2-minute drill. They stopped using the RBs in 2nd half.

The Jaguars RB "rotation" aka Travis Etienne until Tank Bigsby got some run in garbage time. I just cleaned up this code, so I'm going to post a lot of these whether you like it or not.

Chuba Hubbard had 100% of the 1st half touches. Rico Dowdle had some garbage time usage, but hopefully the Panthers don't lose by multiple scores every week.

The Browns used a RB rotation early, then said eff it. All Dylan Sampson. There's just no way it goes from this to all Quinshon Judkins imo. This will be a 1-2 punch once he's out there.

NFL Week 1 neutral pass rate (no SNF) Our Raiders!!!

Week 1 TEs in expected fantasy points: 1. Juwan Johnson 2. Tyler Warren (hello rookie) 3. Sam LaPorta 4. Harold Fannin Jr. (hello rookie) 5. Trey McBride 6. Hunter Henry 7. Kyle Pitts

Week 1 RBs in exp fantasy points: 1. Christian McCaffrey (11.3 gap to 2nd lol) 2. Saquon Barkley 3. Jonathan Taylor 4. Bijan Robinson 5. Chase Brown 6. Jahymr Gibbs 7. Dylan Sampson (hello rookie)

Week 1 WRs in expected fantasy points: 1. Marquise Brown 2. Drake London 3. Malik Nabers 4. CeeDee Lamb 5. Jaxon Smith-Njigba 6. Chris Olave 7. Puka Nacua (on 23 routes!!!)

Seahawks RB rotation throughout Week 1. Not an exact drive-to-drive rotation but generally close to it. They did pick Charbonnet for the 2-minute drill, which isn't surprising. Generally an even split for now.

98th percentile EPA per play. Still lose.

The Bills best 2-point conversion play call is a Keon Coleman jump ball??? With Josh Allen at QB?!?!

2025 will be a special QB year. All the top guys are in athletic and mental primes. What is this stuff???

What can you say about Lamar

Lamar vs. Josh is a heavyweight prize fight. Two experts of their craft

I've never seen a healthier calf than Christian McCaffrey. That's 20 touches already. Keeps going to the sideline after picking up more first downs.

Zach Charbonnet playing the most snaps, scored a goal-line TD, and now playing the 2-minute drill to start the season.

George Kittle (hamstring) out. 4 catches early.

Travis Etienne with his 2nd-most rushing yards of his career in his first game with Liam Coen calling plays.
