00:00Football is here! Woo! And this season, it's gotten off to a different start to say the least.
00:06We have no Brady, no Romo, no Peyton, we're out with the old, we're in with the new.
00:10The LA Rams had a very forgettable start to their season. They went 28-0. Not a single point. Yikes.
00:18Let's break down the highs and lows and look into the future.
00:21I'm Rachel Besser and this is Fantasy My Way.
00:28Well, week one is in the can and so is New York Fashion Week. That's right.
00:33My first riveting weekend in football was also filled with runway shows and parties.
00:39But despite being super busy, I was still able to check all of my scores for Fantasy. Thank you, Modern
00:47Technology.
00:48It's Fashion Week. I just got out of a fashion show. Checked my app and my team is losing.
00:54And then it started raining on me. Spoiler alert! I lost this week.
01:00My team lost.
01:06My team was crap. Okay, fine. I'm being a little bit aggressive. We didn't do horribly.
01:11But a loss for me is a loss. The main issue here was Des Bryant. Love the guy. He's my
01:17main man.
01:17But with Tony Romo out, things are going to get a little testy.
01:23My plan this week is fairly simple. I'm going to pick up wide receiver Mike Wallace, who's on the Ravens
01:30now.
01:31Everyone thought he was over. Turns out he's not. I'm also going to pick up rookie wide receiver Will Fuller.
01:36I think he had an amazing first game. He caught five passes. He had one touchdown. It was unbelievable.
01:42I also plan to drop my two wide receivers, Kevin White and Jermaine Curse.
01:49I'm sitting down with my week two opponent, James Cabrera. He also works at Refinery and I've heard he can
01:55throw down in fantasy.
01:56You've heard my game plan. Let's go hear his.
01:59Get to know your R29 Fantasy League owners.
02:03James Cabrera is one of R29's interface designers. His team, Spin the Bortles, is currently 0-1 and looking for
02:10the first W of the season
02:12versus good, better, besser in week two.
02:16We're about to get it popping, you and I. Yeah. I know.
02:19Have you played fantasy before? Yes. I'm actually in three leagues this year.
02:24Oh my god. How do you manage that? Three? I can barely do that.
02:28So when I drafted my team, I tried to draft the similar players so I wouldn't have any conflicts every
02:34weekend watching the games.
02:36Right. What is your strategy when it comes to week to week?
02:41Walk me through your plan.
02:42I usually, when I'm looking at the waiver wire, I look at the amount of targets.
02:46So targets means like that's the amount of times the quarterback actually threw the ball whether or not they caught
02:50it.
02:51Yep. So if your quarterback is targeting a certain player a lot of times that means, you know,
02:55he might have a higher chance of getting more yardage or he might be a favorite person that the quarterback's
03:00trying to hit.
03:01So how are you feeling then about next week? It's you and me. We're going head to head. How are
03:08you feeling?
03:08Um, I feel pretty good. I mean, I just felt like all my players had an off week last week.
03:14But I feel like I'm going to kind of roll with the same lineup I had last week just hoping
03:18Gronkowski's actually in there this weekend.
03:20Mm-hmm. How about if we make a bet?
03:23Okay.
03:24And loser this week has to wear a costume of the winner's choice to work and just in general for
03:36one day.
03:36What do you say?
03:37Okay.
03:38Okay. Deal?
03:39Let's do it.
03:40Nice. We're on. This is going to be some good stuff. How about we also cheers to that?
03:44Cheers.
03:48James, I wish you all the best. Good luck, even though you're going to lose.
03:51But now is the moment you've all been waiting for.
03:54It's my hot, fiery tips for week two.
04:00Here are my must starts for the week.
04:02Number one is definitely going to be the running back Spencer Ware.
04:05He put up 25 points this week, and until Jamal Charles is back, he's going to keep crushing it.
04:10My next must have is definitely going to be sophomore running back Melvin Gordon.
04:15He had his first breakout NFL game with his first two touchdowns, and he had 17 points for fantasy.
04:22I would put him in a running back two position or your flex position.
04:26My final must start is definitely quarterback Jameis Winston.
04:29He threw for 281 yards, had four touchdowns, and he's owned by 60% of leagues, but was only started
04:39in 15.7% of them.
04:42Pick him up. Start him.
04:46My second hot tip is going to be to sit the Cowboys passing game.
04:51Dak Prescott only put up 10 fantasy points. That is atrocious.
04:55And even worse, out of 45 pass attempts, only five were in the direction of Dez.
05:01What a dezzaster.
05:03I think they're going to click in the upcoming weeks as they play more together, but for week two, I
05:08say sit in.
05:09My hot tip three is who to pick up this week.
05:11After wide receiver Keenan Allen went down with a torn ACL, things got really interesting for San Diego.
05:17I would say you should pick up Tyrell Williams and Travis Benjamin.
05:21And while we're on the subject, there are a bunch of other wide receivers you should pick up off the
05:25wire this week.
05:26Those are my hot tips for the week.
05:27If you have any questions for week three, leave them in the comment section below.
05:32I've made my picks, you make your changes, and let's hope for a big fat win this week.
