Hannah Wilkes, who flew to Earth after her second week defeat, talks about the return of “King” Deryck Henry to the Tennessee Titans, Derek Carr’s incredible start to the season, and in her weekly NFL fantasy football column offers several sleep options for week three. ..
Sky sportsNFL fantasy football guru Hannah Wilkes will help you navigate the 2021 season in her weekly column as she reflects here on her second week defeat, Cooper Kupp’s damn replacement.
(Don’t come to me Giants fans, the records speak for themselves)
And there are some things we should perhaps learn more confidently in the third week; Leaving Cooper Kupp on the bench, by accident or not, is a really bad idea *; Tyler Lockett is always open, no matter how the performance is scrambled; and sometimes, whatever you do, you lose your fantasy match.
If you were playing Kupp, Lockett, Derrick Henry or Aaron Jones in week two, I can feel your pain (in my two leagues … all good in my other three #humblebrags). The good news is that you shouldn’t be seeing them again for a while, and if you’ve hooked Tony Pollard, Justin Fields, or Cordarell Patterson on Waiver Wire ahead of week three, you might be about to EXIT.
* Yes, I’m such a fool.
If I told you three weeks ago that after the second week of the 2021 season, the team sitting atop AFC West will be 2-0, with QB throwing over 800 yards with two TDs in every game, and that the quarterback in question would be Derek Carr, I can’t help thinking that you might think I had too much shandi for lunch.
But this is the world we live in.
The Las Vegas Raiders are now the number one offense in the NFL, a minor offense in the league, and ranked second in the “big games.”
Carr’s ankle injury could limit his standoff with the dolphins in week three, but since he’s only represented in 50% of fantasy leagues and is eighth in QB in fantasy, he might be worth picking up if the Raiders are in play. fact is the real deal.
