About this episode
Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Fantasy Football for NFL Week 3. NFL Fantasy Football Podcast – Week 3 NFL Fantasy Football Podcast - … [Rod Villagomez] (0:08 – 0:39) Rod sets the stage: “It feels like it’s just started, and yet we’re fully into this with injuries and all of these things happening.” This opening stresses how quickly the season has escalated, creating chaos for fantasy managers. [Munaf Manji] (0:40 – 1:57) Munaf expands: “You probably had Joe Burrow… Jaden Daniels… Brock Purdy… and now you’re scrambling.” His analysis reflects the immediate fantasy impact of quarterback injuries, especially in superflex leagues, and sets up the episode’s theme: making difficult replacement and flex decisions. [Rod Villagomez] (1:58 – 3:55) Rod shares personal experience: “I have lost Brock Purdy, Jaden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy in pretty much one of each of my fantasy rosters.” This illustrates the broader point—injuries are forcing managers into uncomfortable waiver moves like starting Daniel Jones. The implication: adaptability is now critical for survival in fantasy leagues. [Game Analysis & Stats] Munaf cites James Cook’s breakout: “284 rushing yards through three games, four total touchdowns, 355 scrimmage yards.” Cook’s consistency demonstrates the value of recognizing rising backs early. He also notes Josh Allen’s “three passing touchdowns yesterday and no interceptions thus far.” On the Dolphins’ side, Tua’s regression is key: “He’s thrown an interception in every game thus far… four interceptions total.” The takeaway is that fantasy managers should consider benching Tua until stability returns. [Flex Debates] Cade Otten vs. Kyle Pitts: Both agree Otten may deliver more short-term fantasy relevance because Pitts is overshadowed by Bijan Robinson and Drake London. Breece Hall vs. Michael Pittman: Rod and Munaf favor Pittman, citing Hall’s lack of usage and Tampa Bay’s elite run defense. Jordan Mason vs. Drake London: Both back Mason, especially with Aaron Jones on IR, making Mason the clear RB1. Tyler Allgeier vs. Rachaad White: Consensus leans Allgeier, as Atlanta’s matchup with Carolina suggests heavy run volume. Keenan Allen vs. Xavier Worthy: Allen’s “17 targets, 71% catch rate, two touchdowns” firmly positions him as a must-start over a questionable rookie. [DFS Lineup Build] (46:13 – 55:30) They construct a DraftKings lineup, spotlighting Dak Prescott, Jordan Mason, Alvin Kamara, Keenan Allen, CeeDee Lamb, Troy Franklin, Rome Odunze, Brock Bowers, and Falcons DST. The discussion emphasizes value hunting— “Jordan Mason at $5,400 is a great play” —and strategic stacking (e.g., Dak with CeeDee Lamb). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
