Week 3 Fantasy Football Starts/Sits + Game Picks

Week 2 of the NFL season was full of upsets and standout fantasy performances. The highlight of the week was Alvin Kamara, who I recommended starting, putting up 44.0 PPR points. Last week, I was 66.7% accurate with starts/sits (Week 1 was 67.1%), well above NFL.com, which was just 50.9% accurate (Week 1 was 54%). My game picks are now at 21-9 for the season.
