We have been on 🔥 this year boys and girls! Let’s jump right in.

Must Start

Dak Prescott QB: Dak is our absolute must start of the week at the QB position. For Dak to put what he’s shown us in the first 2 weeks of the season to use against the terrible Miami defense that is now WITHOUT Minkah Fitzpatrick?! Forget about it. Dak by a million this week. Plug him in with no worries.

Chris Godwin WR: I for one had a great time at the Godwin coming out party last week in Carolina. Now he gets a prime matchup against the terrible Giants defense. The fact is, Mike Evans demands so much attention, but has a hard time overcoming top corner coverage. So, Godwin will be able to continue to get a load of attention from Jameis Winston. Go with Godwin confidently.

Marlon Mack RB: The Mack Attack is our 🚨 START OF THE WEEK 🚨! Mack has been an absolute bell cow for the colts in this young season and we do not expect that to stop. The Atlanta Falcons defense has not been able to stop high level running backs for the past three years and Mack will be no exception. I see Mack scoring upwards of 25 fantasy points this week.

Cooper Kupp WR: The Kupp hype is real and we are huge buyers. Kupp is the x-factor in Sean McVay’s high powered offense. Some drives, they will only throw it too Kupp. He can go long stretches in the game without you knowing he exists, and BOOM, he breaks off a 45 yard touchdown grab. Going against the Browns secondary will be tricky, but Kupp rarely sees a top level corner cover him for more than a handful of snaps. And there in lies his value.

Sony Michel RB: Last week we went all in on Michel’s back field mate James White, and even though he scored a touchdown, his snap count charge was down considerably in comparison to Michel. The Patriots are known for being incredibly unpredictable when it comes to who will get touches. But this week it’s safe to say that Michel will get the lions share of them against the Jets. Do not sleep on White though. He is one Antonio Brown suspension or WR injury away from getting his PPR swag back.

Joe Mixon RB: I know this is a tricky one. I can hear you all now. “Sean, why the fuck would I start a guy that has only 27 yards on the season? Also, Sean why are you so smart and good at Fantasy Football?!” Yes I can hear you all loud and clear! But seriously, Mixon has been a huge disappointment. But the man has been banged up, and is notoriously a slow starter. This new Cincinnati offense has shown some major promise in the passing game. And there is a glaring hole in this offense that is for Mixon to fill. He draws a Buffalo defense that is good, but has frankly, not faced an NFL level offense all season. This is a make or breaks game for him, but so like Mixon and he will be starting in every league I have him in.

Kenny Golladay WR: The third year receiver out of Northern Illinois looked good in week 1, but then broke out in week 2. Hauling in a BEAST strong man touchdown from Stafford. Kenny gets an Eagles secondary this week that was lit up by Atlanta last Sunday night. The Detroit offense feels different this year. Stafford is as average as it gets, but it feels like they finally got him some real weapons. I am starting Golloday every week moving forward, and you should too!
