Sunday morning has arrived and you spent all weekend on a drinking binge? Or worse (maybe better?), you’ve been up for 48 hours on six different types of drugs? Fear not, Razzball has all of your last-minute fantasy football needs covered. Over the past two days, Bobby has covered the best defensive matchups this week for both AFC and NFC fantasy wide receivers. Yesterday Skorish went through every fantasy-relevant injury to keep an eye on in his weekly Fantasy Football Injury Report. Down below I’ll give you some sneaky start options who might be available in your free agent pool if you’re in a bind, as well as my recently updated week 3 rankings for half PPR leagues. Feel free to ask me questions in the comments if you think the rankings don’t address your specific circumstances. And please, please, please consider purchasing our 2021 fantasy football tools subscription. As intelligent and handsome as we all agree I am, my rankings are still packed full of bias and human error. Rudy’s computer model minimizes the human inputs and leans heavily on raw, untainted data inputs to provide a very valuable, differing viewpoint. Plus you receive all kinds of other benefits with your subscription including next-day snap count and target rate data. Anyway, here’s a few sneaky starts for week 3 of the 2021 fantasy football season:
Trey Sermon – What god did the 49ers backfield smite? The last man standing is third-round rookie Trey Sermon who handled one carry last week, fumbled and got concussed. Not great. But there’s a ton of talent here and I like his chances at producing in week 3. Although Kerryon Johnson was called up for the practice squad too, look out folks!
Michael Carter – Tevin Coleman will miss this week with an illness and the rookie, Carter, started to take on a greater role in week two. This could be Carter’s coming-out party.
Cordarrelle Patterson – C-Patt has been a shockingly big part of the Falcons offense through two weeks with 14 carries and 7 receptions. He’s still very risky and mostly a deep league desperation option for week 3, but Patterson does have the benefit of wide receiver eligibility on most platforms.
Olamide Zaccheaus – Russell Gage is out this week with an ankle injury so Oh Llama Day is now the WR2 in ATL. Kyle Pitts should have more opportunities as well.
Auden Tate – Tee Higgins won’t play this week either due to a shoulder injury. Auden Tate would be the WR2 on many teams in the NFL and may have the opportunity this week to show why.
Justin Fields – Who else is excited to see what Justin Fields can do with a full week of practice with the starters?
Pat Freiermuth – Diontae Johnson’s knee injury will keep him on the sidelines this week. The Steeler rookie TE, Friermuth, will have a chance to flash his skill set but don’t forget about Eric Ebron either.
