What an incredible week of football. I mean, it's not great if you're planning things, but the value of entertainment goes through the roof.

More fantasy

the The Bills were hugely successful, the Patriots seemed deadly for the second week in a row and all # 2 receivers became # 1. It was awesome.

Unless you are a 49ers fan.

Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a knee injury late in the game with the Chiefs and early reports are not encouraging. Let's start with what it does for the rest of Fantasy's assets in San Francisco.

You can drop all your 49ers.

With Garoppolo probably made for the season, things are on the verge of becoming ugly for the San Francisco 49ers. C.J. Beathard will be the starting quarterback, and that's not good news for anyone. The 49ers will have trouble moving the ball and scoring points. Last year, they scored more than one touchdown twice in his six games. You can easily drop all your 49ers now, it's going to be a debacle.

Verdict: Do not believe it.

Yes, you can easily drop all 49ers wide receivers. Marquise Goodwin may well be the only exception, but it's really hard to believe that it will be a simple flex or boom in the deep leagues. If you still hold Pierre Garcon or Dante Pettis? Say goodbye. But I want the runners and George Kittle.

In the case of Kittle, it has more to do with the overall quality of the position or its lack. In most leagues close to his talent, there is simply no end to the derogation, so let's see how he behaves with Beathard. As for the halves, Morris will always be the first supporter and Breida the best passer. Beathard has targeted Carlos Hyde 50 times in his six games last year.

It is officially time to start worrying about Andrew Luck.

The subject of Luck's shoulder force was hot early this season. It was one thing when one was making assumptions about his Y / A (5.3), which was low of career, and wondered if it was because of his arm. It's quite different when the Colts call on Jacoby Brissett to lift a last minute Hail Mary. There is no need for interpretation – he does not have the same strength in his shoulder. The only question now is whether it's a permanent state and how it affects its fantasy value.

Verdict: Believe it.

I drove the train of luck, while dismissing questions on the shoulder. It was not that I thought Luck looked like the same guy, it was that I did not think it mattered because he was going to lead the league in the passing attempts and be a volume producer at worst. This volume was largely there, but it still has not resulted in a good production. There are two reasons for this, and I'm not sure how to feel them either.

1. The Colts' defense was much better than expected, allowing the Colts to be more conservative in attack.
2. The smugglers have given up the chance; he could easily have four touchdowns on Sunday.

Because of my uncertainty about these two topics, I do not suggest that you give up the chance. I'm not even sure I'm ready to say you can not run it against a Texan defense that was cut and cut by Eli Manning. But it's really time to start looking at it.

Tyler Boyd should be owned by all leagues.

In a week that was full of No. 2 receivers producing the No. 1 on their own team, you may have missed Boyd's production. It may be because many of you thought that he was the third receiver of this team, behind A.J. Green and John Ross. For the second week in a row, Boyd proved that was not the case. Against the Panthers, he captured six of the seven targets for a total of 132 yards and one touchdown. It is now one of the top 20 receivers of the season in both formats and it's only held at 28%. There have been a lot of surprising performances during the third week, but Boyd's deserves your attention when the waivers are respected.

Verdict: Believe it.

Yes, part of that match was missed due to a groin injury, but that is not limited to the third week. For the year, Boyd ranks second with 18.4%. He captured 73% of these targets and averaged 16.6 yards per team. He has the ability to open and he has shown good hands. This is the third year famous for Boyd, and he has his breakthrough. Be grateful if no one has noticed it before you and do not add it to your league.

You can trust Chris Carson to start running.

Well, I guess Brian Schottenheimer was right. All the Seahawks had to do was run the ball and they would win. Of course, the causal link may be reversed, but what really matters to Fantasy owners is that Pete Carroll's actions have finally lived up to his words, and Carson has been used as a leader of line. Carson was 32 years and 102 passing yards and a touchdown Sunday against a run defense. He even caught two passes for 22 yards as a cherry on the sundae. With the Seahawks who give him almost all the work, you can finally trust him as a starter.

Verdict: Do not believe it.

The only thing to debate is whether you want to risk another week before selling. The Seahawks' defense lifted for their first home game and ended an angry Cowboy attack. That's why Carson has produced. Although their offensive line is better, they only generated 113 yards on 39 rush attempts. It will not be often that Seattle will have a game scenario like this, and when it does not, Carson will become a bad Fantasy again. If you need him during week 4 against Arizona, I could understand a week more, but it's a risk.

Josh Allen should be added in the leagues to a quarter.

Take your victory turn, Bills fans. In what was perhaps the biggest surprise in more than a quarter century, the Buffalo Bills dismantled the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The biggest reason was their defense, but Josh Allen would be second. Allen completed 15 of 22 passes for 196 yards and a score. He ran for 39 extra yards and two touchdowns. In a game where the game script should have worked against him, Allen was a star. It should obviously belong to all leagues to two quarters, but it is also time to register on a standard list.

Verdict: Do not believe it.

Nope. Not even as a backup. Go watch your waiver thread. You will find better, more established quarterbacks than Allen. It was a very encouraging start for its owners in the dynasty leagues and those in the two-quarter format, but that's about it all. He still has a terrible offensive line and is still surrounded by the worst players in football. It was a bold performance of Allen and Bills, but we will have to see a reminder at Lambeau before we start talking about its use in Fantasy.
