FAABulous Football Week 3: The Highs and Lows of Fantasy Football
What a week this has been for fantasy football. In week 1 we saw a ton of high scoring matchups and offensive points light up the score board. Thursday night was a promising encore, but come Sunday and we saw one of the lowest scoring weeks void of wide receiver touch downs and points ever imagined.
In a similar regard to the ebbs and flows of the fantasy season is that of my life. This introduction is going to be short and sweet this week, as I almost was unable to get this article out to all of you. My lovely MacBook hit an all time low as I watched the screen turn to a purple static out of thin air which led to her untimely death. I then accepted my mission in the witching hour of the eve before waivers and set out to get a new MacBook.
Alas your waiver queen prevailed and I was able to return with a new computer in hand able to scour the waivers to bring you hope and coverage for the multitude of injuries we faced.
Now that we are here I know Week 3 will be FAABulous… nothing can stop us now, so let’s get to it!
All stats and data for FAABulous Football are pulled from Fantasy Life, PFF, NFL Next Gen Stats, ETR, Rotoviz, and Stealing Signals.
A Look Back at Week 2: Ship Chasing Team Standings and Waiver Wire Wins
I went through team by team, listing the players we won on waivers Week 2, followed by the next highest bid in our individual league, and finally what the average bid was for those players across Main Event Leagues.
I also included some of the top players that we did not win and shared the average bid those players went for in Main Event Leagues.
I will then recap our team performances of the week for better and worse.

Week 3 Waiver Priorities for FFPC
Below are all the players I like for Week 3 for FFPC leagues. I break down all players into tiers with FAAB suggestions, followed by player analysis and a list of players to consider dropping.
This article is also intended to provide value for those of you who play in deeper league formats and dynasty leagues.
Please note that with a drop list, you do not have to drop these players and all suggestions are general as it is impossible to cover all nuances of individual leagues.
