Fantasy Tidbits - Week 3

I have a team in Yahoo FFB that's pretty heavy in Dolphins, and I'm doing well! Starting Tanny, Miller, Clay, Sturgis, and the D against Atlanta this week (and I have Ryan, Julio and Gonzales!). I'll never start players against my team...just can't do it...probably a good thing I don't FFB for $$$.

Anywhooz...here's a few tidbits about the players in this matchup from Yahoo's FFB dudes:

Ryan Tannehill
- Falcons lack a pass rush and are dealing with a number of key injuries on defense and other than not throwing TDs, he's looked great.
- Atlanta has given up the 6th most fantasy points to Quarterbacks this season.

Matt Ryan
- Teams are attempting 48 yard passes against the fins because they can't run on them so that should be the case this week plus they're vulnerable against the tight end.
- Miami has given up the 12th fewest fantasy points to Quarterbacks this season.

Lamar Miller
- The Falcons do have some key injuries on defense and Miller could be helped by some downfield plays but playing time and snap total still fairly low.
- Atlanta has given up the 13th fewest fantasy points to Running Backs this season.

Jacquizz Rodgers
- He was the guy who took over for Jackson last week but Snelling looked better and the matchup is brutal so the best you can hope for is 4-5 catches.
- Miami has given up the 9th most fantasy points to Running Backs this season.

Brian Hartline
- The Falcons lack of pass rush and their safeties are not exactly cover guys so could come through again if you need him.
- Atlanta has given up the 10th most fantasy points to Wide Receivers this season.

Mike Wallace
- Big game last week catching 9 of his 10 targets and the Falcons are vulnerable to big plays with no pass rush and box players at S.

Roddy White
- Another underwhelming game last week with 3/21 on 3 targets so he remains an avoid player for now.
- Miami has given up the 6th fewest fantasy points to Wide Receivers this season.

Julio Jones
- Incredibly active last week with 14 targets and he obviously went off and the Falcons should have to lean heavily on the pass.

Charles Clay
- Produced with 5/109 on 7 targets last week and this is a very solid matchup if desperate.
- Atlanta has given up the 16th most fantasy points to Tight Ends this season.

Tony Gonzalez
- Miami is getting crushed by opposing TEs and giving up the 2nd most points to the position thus far.
- Miami has given up the 3rd most fantasy points to Tight Ends this season. (WTF? 2nd then 3rd?)

Miami D/ST
- Pretty good defense and a decent enough potential at home but Ryan generally takes care of the ball.
- Atlanta has given up the 4th fewest fantasy points to Team Defenses this season.

Atlanta D/ST
- The Dolphins are getting sacked 4+ times a game but the Falcons lack a pass rush and have injuries on defense.
- Miami has given up the 7th most fantasy points to Team Defenses this season.

Nothing earth-shattering or revolutionary there. They're focused on fantasy points so some of these statements are not in sync with actual game play, just fun to look at IMO. I think they're sleeping on Clay. Whatchall think? I'd say the head-to-head QB comparison bodes well, but (as we all know) the TEs could rule the day.
