Welcome to the Week 3 NFL Handicapper Consensus! Last week did not go well for the handicapper as a whole and as a result, the handicapper consensus picks were a complete dud. Things have a way of evening out as the handicappers will look to bounce back in Week 3.
In this series, we will publish a consensus of Handicapper Picks against the spread and totals where we pay for the premium picks and take the time and effort to accumulate them, so you don’t have to. This week we pulled picks from 16 expert sites and 46 different handicappers to get our consensus betting selections. Picks make the Consensus list if they receive at least four more selection on one side than the other side. We will also be grading handicappers throughout the season.

Here is the NFL Handicapper Consensus list for Week 3…
The NFL DFS industry experts now have two weeks’ worth of data points from games this season to help connect the dots on who the best plays will be heading into Week 3. So, it should probably not be a surprise that five Chiefs show up on this weeks weighted consensus rankings. But none of them top the list at their respective positions. To find out who does top the lists be sure to sign up for a FREE 7-day trial.
In this series, we will publish a consensus of NFL DFS expert’s recommendations that take into account each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking for each position. To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. If you have ever wondered how to differentiate between two players who were both selected by the same number of experts, then this is the list you need. We also list the projected Ownership Percentages for Cash and GPP leagues to help you identify some players that could be good low-owned contrarian plays. We will include all players that have a Rank Score of at least 10.

Here is the NFL Weighted Consensus list for Week 3…
The NFL season is rolling along now as we enter Week 3. Week 3 is a tale of two types of games with four games chiming in with a Vegas total over 52 points and six games with a Vegas total of 42 points or fewer. Take a wild guess which games you’ll want to get a lot of your exposure to in DFS lineups and which games you’ll want to avoid except for the defenses for the most part.
My “Bets” struggled last week putting me at 6-6 for the season. I have 7 plays listed in this week’s article including the Jets +3 over the Browns on Thursday.

Note: DVOA referenced in this article stands for Defense-adjusted Value Over Average which is a metric from FootballOutsiders.com.
So, let’s get right to the numbers and analysis…
| Team | QB | RB | WR1 | WR2 | WR3 | TE | D | K | Vegas |
| New York Jets | 44 | 52 | 38 | 46 | 41 | 36 | 54 | 47 | 40 |
| Cleveland Browns | 42 | 48 | 36 | 41 | 36 | 47 | 61 | 42 | -3 |
The Jets are coming off a home loss in Miami and will stay on the road on a short week playing in Cleveland on Thursday night. The Jets passing game behind Sam Darnold has a decent ranking in the middle of the pack in yardage and TD passes and will face an equally mid-level Browns pass defense in yardage allowed and TD passes, however, they do carry an 8th DVOA ranking against the pass. The best way to attack the Browns pass defense this season is through the RB where they rank 30th DVOA against pass-catching backs which could set up Bilal Powell as a potential option. Meanwhile, look for WR Quincy Enunwa to continue to be the primary target and chew up a bunch of short receptions as the Browns have allowed 16 receptions per game (25th) to opposing WRs. The Jets running game should be solid as they rank 4th in rushing yards by RBs this season, while the Browns have ceded 99 rushing yards per game (25th). They should also do well in the red zone as both teams have averaged one rushing TD scored and allowed by RBs through two weeks, so that brings Isaiah Crowell, who is returning to face his former team, into the mix. Outside of the RBs and Enunwa, there is nothing to consider expect a long-shot revenge game spot for Terrelle Pryor if you’re feeling lucky.
The Browns almost worked their way into another tie or even a win in Week 2 against the Saints but kicking woes put an end to that. Tyrod Taylor and the Browns figure to have trouble moving the ball through the air on Thursday night against a good Jets pass defense that ranks 2nd DVOA this season and is in the top 10 across the board against opposing RB/WR/TE options. Jarvis Landry to once again monopolize the targets and has the best individual matchup working out of the slot. The ground game will see the most production coming from Taylor on QB scrambles/keepers as he averages the most yards per game on the ground for QB this season and the Jets rank 26th in QB rushing yards allowed this season. Carlos Hyde should once again be the primary ball carrier but could have a hard time generating much as the Jets have allowed just 3.39 YPC (7th) while the Browns have only produced 3.14 YPC (29th) by RBs this year. Maybe Hyde can punch one across the goal line to save his day for the third straight week but don’t bank on it.

Here is the NFL Handicapper Consensus list for Week 2…
Welcome to the Week 2 NFL DFS Expert Weighted Consensus Rankings! After a lot of high-owned chalk options went off in Week 1 the salaries have tightened up somewhat this week but the experts still definitely have their favorite options for this Sunday. The Chiefs/Steelers comes in with the highest Vegas total on the slate but there are a variety of other games that could also shootout.
In this series, we will publish a consensus of NLF DFS expert’s recommendations that take into account each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking for each position. To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. If you have ever wondered how to differentiate between two players who were both selected by the same number of experts, then this is the list you need. We also list the projected Ownership Percentages for Cash and GPP leagues to help you identify some players that could be good low-owned contrarian plays. We will include all players that are selected by at least two experts.

Here is the NFL Weighted Consensus list for Week 2…
It was great to have football back in our lives last weekend. Week 1 showed that sometimes you just have to roll with the chalk as DFS scores and cash lines were very high thanks to stale pricing that had been sitting on the shelf for weeks. Week 2 should be a different story with fresh salaries and a glimpse into which teams and players might be ready to produce this season.
Note that my Hot Sheet data points will take into account the first week of the season combined with last season’s numbers for the first few weeks of the new season.
Also, be sure to check out my Top Bets for Week 2 at the bottom of this writeup. My Week 1 plays went a perfect 5-0!

So, let’s get right to the numbers and analysis…
| Team | QB | RB | WR1 | WR2 | WR3 | TE | D | K | Vegas |
| Baltimore Ravens | 48 | 46 | 42 | 53 | 70 | 60 | 57 | 73 | -1 |
| Cincinnati Bengals | 35 | 43 | 20 | 39 | 32 | 50 | 41 | 42 | 44 |
The Ravens are coming off a Week 1 thrashing of the Bills but have a short week to travel to meet their division-rival Bengals on Thursday night. Joe Flacco and the passing game for the Ravens had success in the opener with 260 yards through the air to go along with three TDs. Meanwhile, the Bengals allowed Andrew Luck to throw for 319 yards and two scores. Despite those gaudy Week 1 numbers, I expect a major regression in the Ravens passing offense against a familiar foe on a short week as they ranked 30th in passing yards last year. I don’t like any of the individual matchups for the Ravens primary receivers and the TE position which could have some success doesn’t have any fantasy-worthy targets expect maybe a single game flier on Nick Boyle. The running game should feed RB Alex Collins more than seven times this week and could have some success against a Bengals defense that ranked 29th in rushing yards allowed to opposing RBs last season and didn’t have a much of a test in Week 1 with a weak Colts ground game. The best play on the Ravens is probably their kicker (Justin Tucker) and defense.
The Bengals picked up a hard-fought road win over Andrew Luck and the Colts in Week 1. While they are on a short week, they at least get some home-cookin’ against a familiar foe. Andy Dalton and the Bengals passing game will likely struggle against a strong Ravens pass defense that was stingy last season allowing the 3rd fewest TD passes and the 10th fewest passing yards per game. The Bengals do have a lot of good playmakers on offense so one of them could slip behind the defense for a long score but predicting one would be foolish. Joe Mixon had a strong Week 1 performance with 95 rushing yards and a score and could be the best option to move the ball down the field for the Bengals in this game. The Ravens ranked 25th in rushing yards allowed to opposing RBs last season. It figures to be a defensive struggle without much fantasy intrigue.

Note that expert’s “current” score is based on last year’s results but will transition to this year’s score after Week 1. In general, you will want to build a lineup with the highest ranked players for Cash games but drop down to grab a few of those players lower on the list for GPPs as they will likely carry lower ownership but are still strong plays this week.
