Episode Description from the Publisher

Matthew Freedman and Zain Dhanani go game by game through the entire Week 3 slate, all 16 matchups, using spreads, implied totals, injury reports, and last year's positional funnel data to sort out who's actually startable and who you're better off benching.They open in Rio de Janeiro with Ravens-Cowboys, the highest total on the board at 52.5, where Dallas's defense was No. 1 last season in fantasy boost allowed to both quarterbacks and wide receivers. From there it's Chargers-Bills, Cardinals-49ers, and Jets-Lions before the afternoon slate, with Chiefs-Dolphins, Patriots-Jaguars, Raiders-Saints, and a Bengals-Steelers game that's suddenly a very different conversation.Along the way: Zay Flowers' hamstring and what it means for Rashod Bateman, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy in a game Kansas City is favored by 11.5, Quinshon Judkins against Carolina, Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin in Tampa, Malik Nabers in a 39.5-total game against Tennessee, Javonte Williams and Jake Ferguson in Brazil, plus Bhayshul Tuten, Oronde Gadsden, Woody Marks, and the Green Bay backfield.If you've got a lineup decision you can't settle, the game is in here.
