Fantasy Football Quarterback Streaming Week 3: Baker's Back, Baby

Week 2 of the fantasy football season saw surprises up and down the fantasy scoreboard. Familiar faces Kirk Cousins (QB2) and Russell Wilson (QB3) proved that they still have what it takes to cash in a spike week performance from time to time, while new faces Joshua Dobbs (QB4), C.J. Stroud (QB11) and Desmond Ridder (QB12) reminded us that projecting football outcomes can be wildly difficult. We can expect more of the same in Week 3, so let’s try to nail down some waiver wire options who could jump into the top 12 ahead of this week’s games.

For streaming purposes, 4for4’s Schedule-Adjusted Fantasy Points Allowed (aFPA) is a metric we rely heavily on to determine weekly matchup strength. As the season progresses and more data is available, aFPA becomes more and more reliable, using rolling 10-week data. Targets and efficiency metrics are also considered when choosing weekly streamers.

To provide the advice you can implement, candidates for streaming must be rostered in no more than 40% of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.

Week 2 Recap

We had nowhere to go, but down after our Week 1 article nailed two of the top three quarterbacks, and all four streaming suggestions landed in the top 12. Last week wasn’t as profitable, but it can be a slog, relying on the waiver wire at times. We’ll bounce back this week. Onward and upward.
