Reflections from Week 2:
Quarterbacks
* Stroud stamped his class. Minshew provided a respectable floor, while Howell needs a momentum shift.
Running Backs
* Ford and Moss powered through to RB7 and RB5, respectively. Breida, however, faded into the background.
Wide Receivers
* Mims and Atwell made their presence known. Reynolds, not so much.
Tightends
* A hiccup week for Ertz.
Diving into Week 3:
Quarterbacks:
This week, the spotlight is on injury repercussions.
* Jameis Winston: With Carr battling an AC joint issue, Winston is a potential one-week filler despite a lackluster show.
* Andy Dalton: After a stellar week, Dalton is on the radar but treads on thin ice, especially with the possibility of Young's return. It's a risky gamble, but it could be a match-winner.
* Kyler Murray: A bold play. If Murray returns, he could ascend the fantasy ranks swiftly, considering Arizona’s underestimated base team strength.
Running Backs:
Miami's explosive performance highlights their RBs.
* Devon Achane: Toppling charts with RB1 numbers, Achane is the gold rush of the week. However, a crowded backfield and Wilson’s return pose a substantial risk.
* Jerick McKinnon: The season's evolution might see McKinnon taking the lead in a talented but crowded setup.
* James Conner: Possibly already snagged, but if overlooked or available for a trade, he's a valuable asset, especially as Arizona escalates.
Wide Receivers:
A new face emerges.
* Tank Dell: On a hot streak and is a priority grab, with his dynamism mirroring Achane’s. This rookie is proving his mettle.
* Joshua Palmer: The sidelining of Williams thrusts Palmer and Johnston into focus. The veteran Palmer could have the edge.
* Adam Thielen: Gaining momentum, Thielen might be the PPR goldmine with the Dalton/Young duo.

Tight Ends:
The rookies are breaking ground.
* Sam La Porta: If available, a record-breaking week makes him an urgent addition.
Even if your squad is trailing at 0-3, remember the season is still in its infancy. Time to hustle and strategize!
