Danny Heifetz 0:06
On today's episode of the Ringer Fantasy Football Show, we're gonna go over all the games for week three. Uh I I don't have other things to say. That's mostly the episode, right, Greg?
MichaelAaron Flicker 0:15
That's right. You got that right, Danny.
Danny Heifetz 0:19
I agree. We usually try to list all the things, but that I that's really concise. That will be most of the show. One stat for every game coming up. After this conveniently timed advertising break. This episode is presented by Verizon. Let me tell you all about Verizon's new simplicity plan. You get one plan, one price, just $30 a line per month, even for a single line. So while everyone is running four trade analyzers before offering a backup tight end, Verizon said, one plan, one price. Sometimes the simplest move is the best one, like the Simplicity Plan. Head to Verizon.com today. For new customers who switch to Verizon, $30 per line includes auto pay and switch discount. Additional taxes, fees, and terms apply.

Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show.

How do the hosts evaluate the Bengals vs Steelers game?

Danny Heifetz 1:22
My name is Danny Heifen. Today I'm joined by Danny Kelly of Kick World Back, and we are previewing week three of the NFL season. A lot of backup quarterbacks. Uh wow. Already got Marcus Mariota, Jameis Winston, and then Tyson Bajan and/or Case Keenum three weeks into the season. A little bit of a downer. Come on, DK.
Danny Kelly 1:39
Brutal. Brutal. I mean, I when was last time Case Keenum played? Like three years ago. Case Keaton's played four games since COVID. He's kind
MichaelAaron Flicker 1:48
of in that Chase Daniel camp where he's just like a career backup and he's like the elder statesman of backups where he's just kind of always in the league. He's always there. He
Danny Kelly 1:56
had one really good season, I think. He's
Danny Heifetz 1:57
a coach. Like if you're a quarterback like that, you're the third guy and you're a vet. You're being paid to just basically be like a coach who's like a mole and you're hanging out with the quarterback all the time. And it's like a cool older brother to give you advice when you won't listen to mom or dad. Like that's really what his role is in the NFL.

What key statistic highlights the Seahawks vs Commanders matchup?

Danny Kelly 2:12
Dude, his one good season. He was a starter for the Vikings in twenty seventeen. Uh he had uh twenty two touchdowns, seven picks. Twenty seventeen. That just feels like a a lifetime ago. I don't even know what we were doing back then.
Danny Heifetz 2:25
So we'll see what happened Kay uh Caleb Williams. Yeah, I mean that's Monday Night Football. Should we just are we just doing that now? Are we just starting with that? I mean, that was the I feel like did it did end up being in the news of the week was of all the quarterbacks, Jackson Dart walking off the C uh the field ended up being out for the season. And then Caleb Williams carted off crying into the towel is like, Yeah, maybe like two weeks, three weeks, we'll see. So
MichaelAaron Flicker 2:44
you want to do the last game of the week first?
Danny Heifetz 2:46
I think we did by accident. That's kind of like the entire one, but we can maybe we'll circle back at the end. But I guess we should start with the earlier games in the beginning. But
MichaelAaron Flicker 2:54
the the morning slate. We're doing one stat for every game. Um I'll start. Bengals Steelers.

Which factors influence the Texans vs Colts game prediction?

MichaelAaron Flicker 3:02
Game of the year. The Bengals are favored by three and a half points to win this game. It's in Pittsburgh. My one stat. The Cincinnati Bengals. Have allowed a league low, seventy-eight rushing yards to running backs this year. They are top five in rushing yards allowed per game and and and they are top five in rushing defense success rate. The Bengals defense. is kind of a thing now. And it's not something you you really ever associate with the Bengals. They used to be Cowboys North or whatever you wanted to call it or the Cowboys or Bengals South. But the Bengals are a little bit more balanced now. And This game, look, I I think the Bengals always play well against the Steelers. I went back and I looked up how Burrow does against the Steelers versus every other team in the NFL.
MichaelAaron Flicker 3:48
Burrow scores four more points a game against the Steelers versus all the other teams, which is like not nothing. Interesting.
Danny Heifetz 3:54
In fantasy or real life.
MichaelAaron Flicker 3:55
Oh, sorry, the Bengals. When when Burrow is the quarterback for the Bengals, they score 30 points per game over the last four seasons.
