Hello, everybody. Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast. I'm Ryan Warmly, joined today by Pat Fitzmaurice and by Derek Brown. We are answering our week three key questions here on the show, previewing all of the matchups for week three. And, you know, this is kind of crazy that we're already here. This is really when, like, trends become real patterns and it feels, everything just feels a little bit more real, right? Like, 0-2 is like, man, you're off to a bad start, but you can bounce back. You get to 0-3 in your fantasy leagues. That's where it starts to feel closer to insurmountable, even if mathematically it's not that case. Reminder for everybody that all of our weekly consensus rankings and tiers can be found at fantasypros.com slash rankings.
Full slate to get through. So I say we just jump right in. Fitz, I will start with you with game one of the early slate. It's Chargers at Bills, a game that looked really fun prior to the season, looks a little bit more one-sided now. I think the spread last I checked was a full touchdown there. which would have been surprising to hear a couple of weeks ago. Only two defenses fits have allowed more points this season through two weeks than Buffalo. Is this the week that the chargers offense finally comes through for fantasy managers?
I'm still pretty skeptical. Um, the chargers are 27th and offensive DVO, a 19th and yards per play 31st in offensive EPA per play. It's just been pretty ugly. The middle of the offensive line still looks like it's a big problem. Um, The Colts defense hasn't been great, but it's not Colts level bad. It's just that the Bills offense has been so good that it's forcing opposing offenses to really put their foot on the gas and try to keep up. So not a lot of hope for the Chargers just because of how bleak it's looked so far and because that offensive line still looks like a problem. I think I'm slightly below consensus on a lot of the Chargers. And to begin with, the consensus is pretty down on the Chargers.
But I don't know, maybe the Mike McDaniel offense suddenly kicks into gear at some point. It's possible. But there are some underlying issues here.
Debro, what do you think, both in terms of the Chargers offense, like getting a couple of games under their belt, maybe shaking off some of this rust and learning the new offense, in terms of the Bills maybe not having the strongest defense, also in terms of, like Fitz was saying, the Bills having such a strong offense that the Chargers might just get a lot of fantasy points from having to try to throw a ton to keep up. Do you think there's an opportunity here for the Chargers offense to bounce back a bit for their fantasy managers? I think your hope for the Chargers offense this week is that they look like the Packers did yesterday and you get a lot of garbage time production. I don't know what kind of Chargers offense we get, man.
I was skeptical about McDaniel in the offseason. I remain skeptical. But this is the week where if you want any kind of glimmer of hope, You got to hope that you get it this week, man, because if you don't get it this week, they have Seattle, they have Denver, they have Kansas City, they have Los Angeles, they have the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens right after this. So if hope isn't coming this week, people, it might not be coming at all. So I don't know. Like, I see a path for the Chargers in this, like with the Bills, with how bad their defense has been in the early going season.
