Well, scoring 50 points above your projection is a damn good way to secure it. Nice lineup.
As for other players and owners, let's have a look at Tatts. Tatts, what a pickup in grabbing Larry Fitzgerald, I thought he was done for sure, but he's put up great numbers two weeks running.
You definitely should have known to play Blount in a game between the Patriots and Jags. And I'm not so sure Tannehill is stable enough to depend on on a weekly basis. Eifert not getting that TD that was overturned didn't help, but he'll bounce back. AB scoring only 10.80 is a slow night for him. That's how ridiculously good he is, as 10 points is usually good enough for most starts. Kendall Wright is hit or miss, eh but you don't really have much room for him unless Ellington comes back and makes David Johnson irrelevant again. Plus you've got Yeldon who the Jags have said they plan on turning into an all down back. Its gonna be tough choosing which players to lineup moving forward.

Before this year, I'd never heard of Blount. When doing the research in who to pick there were 3 or 4 RBS above him in the rankings but after reading up on each team and each player I decided on him.
Since then, there has been 3 games before this one. A pre season game in which he did nothing.
Suspended week 1.
Week 2 did absolutely nothing again.
So week 3 arrives, I have Johnson and Woodhead who both served me well week 2 And Blount who has been a non entity so far.
There's no way I'm starting him until he shows some potential. After this week I can pay attention to reports a little more.
Patriots won't use him week in and week out so I've got to be smart about picking him.
Exactly. For example, last week against the Jaguars. The Patriots were set to kill the Jags, and once they get a huge lead, they like to run out the clock. And when you're a team running the ball to run out the clock, you use the BIG RB.
Blount is the Patriots BIG power RB. Lewis is smaller, but more agile.
This was even written in Blounts box. You do click on your players boxes and read what the latest news about them is right?
Before the Pats/Jags game.
"Fri, Sep 25
According to ESPN Boston, "word is" LeGarrette Blount will play a bigger role in Week 3 against the Jaguars.
Advice: Blount was limited to seven snaps in Week 2 after missing the NFL opener due to a suspension. A bigger role might not mean much for Week 3 considering how little Blount played in last week's win over the Bills, but it would make some sense for the Patriots to try to get their power-running game rolling against the Jaguars. They could have a big lead in the second half, and Blount is a better fit for "closer" work than pint-sized scatback Dion Lewis."
They pretty much told you exactly thay they were gonna use him once they built up the lead, which was a given considering how good the Pats are and how bad the Jags are.
So you can say what you want about wondering when and when not to play Blount, but last week, week3, it was a given.
But who cares. You're 3-0 and at the top of the league. You didn't need those points, I'm just proving a point which is that it was obvious that Blount was in for some heavy use week 3.
Jags stifled the Dolphins the week before. If this was a close game then Blount wouldn't have gotten the action he did. It also says that in the first two paragraphs.
I do read each players update. I did mean Wright. I got mixed up with Karlos Williams as they both have the same initials.
