Should you believe in Carlos Hyde and Stefon Diggs's hot starts? Should you be freaked out by Amari Cooper and Marshawn Lynch's cold starts? We'll tell you, plus we'll dive into the Bears/Packers Thursday night game film and tell you what to make of Ty Montgomery's injury and Aaron Jones's possible ascension. Guest: Cousin Josh.

As the great philosopher Nicky Spickets once said, "When your picks are this bad, they're bound to turn around soon!" The boys lick their wounds after a historically bad Week 3—and a historically profitable week for Vegas—and hopefully right the ship with some savvy plays taking advantage of the market's overreactions.

The new Cowboys triplets did just enough to win some fantasy weeks, while flag player Larry Fitzgerald exploded and saved a lot of bacon. Let's review the rest of the Week 3 game film, and then turn our attention to the waiver wire, where some speculative running backs could offer a key to an October fantasy surge!

It wasn't a great weekend for the echo chamber! If we went chasing supposed usage changes, we mostly got burned. While that doesn't mean such changes never happen, it reinforces the idea that trying to predict usage or game flow is often too random a battle, and we're better off investigating talent. So let's do it! Let's look at some game film from Week 3! Guest: Sam Gold of NFLBreakdowns.com.

It's *probably* a little early to think about major fantasy football trades. Then again: if someone in your league is panicking on a player you like, it's never a bad idea to see if you can get them to make a decision they'll regret! We count down some interesting acquisition candidates, plus dive into Thursday night's Rams/49ers film. Guest: Raymond Summerlin of Rotoworld.

We're not *supposed* to change our opinions on players after just one week. That's called "overreaction." But we have to admit: there are a few players whose usage and performance scared us or thrilled us, and made us reassess.

Film Don't Lie!

We'll walk you through some of the NFL's most vexing players and lineup decisions on today's show, in the least hypocritical way we can muster! Guest: Bobby Sylvester of FantasyPros.com.
