We've got winners and losers from Fantasy Week 3.

0:06.2

Let's get started right now on FFT and 5.

0:08.7

I'm Adam Azer, joined by Heath Cummings.

0:10.7

This week of recap, that's the word, a busy, busy Sunday.

0:15.3

Hopefully the injuries weren't too bad.

0:16.9

I know the A.J. Brown injury really stunk,

0:18.6

but it doesn't seem like we had too many injuries

0:20.9

in this week. So that was a good thing. Heath, let's start with Justin Fields. I know that's not

0:25.9

the normal place we'd start, but it was really discouraging and really all of the rookie

0:29.8

quarterbacks. And they're not playing well and they're hurting their passing game options as

0:34.7

well, like Alan Robinson and Corey Davis and whatnot.

0:41.4

But what do you make of fields? Can you drop them or should we wait another week?

0:46.5

I mean, this was a really tough matchup, and Matt Nagy did a really bad job designing an offense.

0:52.9

He was awful. I would prefer not to drop fields just because they're facing the lions this week.

1:11.0

And I feel like there's a chance there's a bounce back performance. I'd be more willing, of course, to drop someone like Zach Wilson, most people already have. I'd be more willing to drop Trevor Lawrence. We've seen a larger sample size of him being bad. But if you're in a bad pinch, it feels your only quarterback. You've got to go find somebody else. But otherwise, I'm mostly holding him as a second quarterback, hoping that I can start him in the future. This didn't change anything. What do you think about some winners this week? You have Sequan Barkley as a winner. You have a couple of wide receivers who might be available in Leewell. Renfro is going to be available in most leagues. Emmanuel Sanders, you have too. Yeah, give me your thoughts on some week three winners.

1:45.1

Yeah, I thought Barclay got back into that must start territory. I'm not sure that he's shown enough to say that he's back in the top five conversation, but he's definitely back in that must start running back conversation. If you rostered him through the first couple of ugly weeks, you should be rewarded from this point forward. The offensive line still looks bad. I don't think the Russian efficiency will be great.

2:18.4

But I was mostly just really encouraged when they made Devante Booker inactive before the game. I thought, well, that shows you. We're there. Saquan Barclays full go now. And he'll be a top 15 running back every week and probably a top 10 running back most weeks. I think Emmanuel Sanders had a chance. I didn't really buy into it. And then week one, he had all the air yard, but we didn't get the production. Week two is a little better. He looked awesome in this game. He's going to be a real problem for opposing teams, and he might be a problem for Stefan Diggs as well. I want to talk about the losers that Dave gave, actually, on the full-length show, right?

2:23.1

Big time names, Jonathan Taylor, Alan Robinson, and Kyle Pitts.

2:24.1

Those were Dave's losers.

2:26.8

Taylor had 10 carries and one catch.

2:30.3

Robinson had two catches for 27 yards on six targets.

2:34.9

And Kyle Pitts had two catches for 35 yards on three targets at the Giants.
