Whether you are turning over every stone in pursuit of the perfect DFS lineup, looking for a tie-breaker in a difficult start/sit decision in season-long leagues, or simply loading up on obscure stats to reference in an attempt to impress your fellow nerdy football friends while watching the games this Sunday, you are in the right place. SportsLine Fantasy analyst Jacob Gibbs spends his days sifting through advanced stats for every player and every team in order to properly prepare you with the most important information for the upcoming week of football.
Gibbs' Fantasy football draft rankings were the eighth-most accurate in the nation across the 2018-20 seasons, per FantasyPros, and he is back with weekly Fantasy rankings and a DFS Helper for SportsLine users. In 2018, Gibbs predicted Patrick Mahomes' Fantasy explosion. In 2019, he projected big-time breakouts for Lamar Jackson and Chris Godwin, while also identifying Darren Waller as the top late-round tight end pick. Last season, Gibbs was one of the few analysts who ranked Davante Adams as Fantasy's WR1 entering the season, and he was all over the breakout seasons for Calvin Ridley and Antonio Gibson. Anyone who has followed Gibbs advice over the past three seasons has been well on their way to a league title.
Now, Gibbs has analyzed every angle for each Week 3 matchup and shared the 50 stats the stand out as the most noteworthy for this week's set of games.
One matchup Gibbs is especially excited for in Week 3: Jacksonville receiver Laviska Shenault against an Arizona secondary that has funnels passing games to the short and intermediate areas of the field. The Cardinals try to force opposing passers to beat them with short dump-offs, but Trevor Lawrence has been one of the most aggressive downfield passers through two weeks. Jacksonville hasn't found much success with that approach, and it will be interesting to see if they change things up against an Arizona defense that will invite them to funnel targets to Laviska Shenault in the middle of the field. Shenault's price is down across the industry after Jacksonville's slow start, and this just might be the perfect opportunity to buy-low on him in a get-right matchup that is perfectly suited for his skillset.
So which under-the-rader WR could take advantage of a great matchup? And what should we expect from the Bears' passing game? ... Join SportsLine here to see Jacob Gibbs' 50 Stats to Know for Week 3, all from one of the nation's most accurate experts as graded by FantasyPros!
