Fantasy Football Brothers releases our second edition of our fantasy player projections for Week 3. The reader response was strong and we received some positive and negative feedback. But mostly positive. We hope you enjoyed last week’s projections and hope they helped you to win your fantasy matchups in Week 2. While we missed on some: Who would have thought Matt Schaub would have chosen the week two matchup to show up? Or that Tennessee’s defense would decide to take the weekend off. Our projections are not tied to our ranks, as we try and give you the reader as many looks and scenarios as possible in the fantasy game. We are here to help you dominate your league, keep you three steps ahead of the rest of the league, answer your tough questions, and help you win your league. So with all of that out of the way let’s get to the projections for Week 3. Enjoy……
