Week 3 Preview Board
ESPN projections were verified September 22. They can move with lineups and injuries.
No Maam vs Bench Don't Kill My Vibe
2-0 vs 1-1 / Power #2 vs #8ESPN snapshotNo Maam 95-92
League officeNo Maam, 98-90
Key battle: Jaxon Smith-Njigba vs Ja'Marr Chase
Availability: No Maam has Jordyn Tyson on IR; Bench has no current ESPN injury-summary entry.
The champion just erased a 49-point Thursday opening. Bench just escaped the basement. One team is defending the belt; the other is asking whether Week 1 can be expunged.
Nabers think I'm selling dope vs DSIZZLE INYAMOUTH34
0-2 vs 0-2 / Power #11 vs #10ESPN snapshotDSIZZLE 91-77
League officeDSIZZLE, 91-76
Key battle: Jahmyr Gibbs vs Bijan Robinson
Availability: Bowers and Charbonnet are out; Malik Nabers is questionable; Jayden Daniels is doubtful in ESPN's current view.
Someone must leave 0-3 off the resume. DSIZZLE at least has a quarterback projected to participate, which is a surprisingly persuasive advantage.
No Vaseline vs Show Me Your TD's
1-1 vs 2-0 / Power #7 vs #6ESPN snapshotSMYTD's 99-87
League officeSMYTD's, 96-89
Key battle: Amon-Ra St. Brown vs Justin Jefferson
Availability: Jordan Mason is on IR for No Vaseline; Pittman and Harvey are out for SMYTD's, with Evans questionable.
No Vaseline gets a new audience after last week's cheerleaders left without saying goodbye. SMYTD's is 2-0 and currently borrowing confidence from the league's lowest points-against total.
Big Dog Squad vs P-TOWN PLAYAS
1-1 vs 1-1 / Power #4 vs #3ESPN snapshotBig Dog 92-68
League officeBig Dog, 96-92
Key battle: Davante Adams vs CeeDee Lamb
Availability: Saquon Barkley is questionable for Big Dog; P-TOWN has no current ESPN injury-summary entry.
The model hates P-TOWN's current lineup. P-TOWN's biggest threat remains P-TOWN's current lineup decisions. Big Dog arrives with Monday-night confidence and a freshly repaired reputation.
TP Hulk Smash vs La Cosa Nostra
1-1 vs 1-1 / Power #9 vs #5ESPN snapshotTP Hulk 99-88
League officeLa Cosa, 94-91
Key battle: Lamar Jackson vs Patrick Mahomes
Availability: A.J. Brown is on IR for TP Hulk; Nico Collins and Zay Flowers are out for La Cosa in ESPN's current view.
ESPN likes TP Hulk by 11. The league office remembers that La Cosa has scored 100 twice and TP Hulk just won with 67. Projections are witnesses, not judges.
Black Mamba vs The Muscle Team
0-2 vs 2-0 / Power #12 vs #1ESPN snapshotMuscle 94-86 current box projection
League officeMuscle, 105-78
Key battle: Josh Allen vs Trevor Lawrence
Availability: Puka Nacua is out for Black Mamba; Dobbins and Brian Robinson Jr. are questionable. Stribling is on IR for Muscle.
The league's highest-scoring team meets the lowest-scoring team. This is either the safest pick of the week or the exact sentence fantasy football saves for evidence.
