Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 3

3. Bucs-Rams Total 75+ points

Technically this is not a fantasy prediction, but it obviously impacts fantasy directly. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have spent the past two weeks with an explosive offense. However, it’s come with some issues. We will talk about Tom Brady’s nine touchdown passes, but he also has three turnovers. Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournette haven’t been able to take off, so the offense has to be one-dimensional.

This Rams defense is no joke, but the offense is what has been leading the way. Matthew Stafford is in love with Cooper Kupp. Darrell Henderson scored in consecutive weeks, but now he’s injured and Sony Michel is the starter. Those who took a shot on the former Patriots running back might get some value this week.

These two teams are going to go shot for shot. There could be 10 touchdowns between the two. This has the feels of that Chiefs-Rams matchup from a few years ago. There are going to be 80 passes between Stafford and Brady, which means plenty of opportunities for Kupp, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Rob Gronkowski, Robert Woods, and Antonio Brown. If you are facing anyone from the Rams and Bucs this week, you should be worried. If you have anyone in this matchup, start them. There’s a good chance there will be points.
