Oh, Eli. It was a blast, wasn’t it? Liz Loza fetes Manning’s incredible career (more so in reality than in fantasy) by sharing one of the things we remember most about him:

As for newly anointed starter Daniel Jones, feel free to stash him in deeper leagues (he was a two-way threat at Duke, though it remains to be seen whether the Giants will let him run), but be prepared to dump him if he runs into the same problems as the guy he’s replacing.

Pro Football Focus rarely disappoints; here are a couple of nuggets worth keeping an eye on heading into Week 3:

Fantasy facts and stats to know for Week 3 in DFS! ⬇️⬇️

– Le'Veon Bell's 20 missed tackles forced are six more than anyone else.

– Arizona has allowed the most yards to TEs at 273 in two games.https://t.co/KDWifGy6Bv pic.twitter.com/dOhw2A6ib6

The Bell note is of particular interest, as it shows that the New York Jets running back is as elusive as ever – and while the Jets are going to see a whole lot of negative game script this season, that shouldn’t keep Bell from being an every-week RB1 threat if healthy.

Odell Beckham stans will enjoy this nugget courtesy Davis Mattek:

Odell Beckham has had 418 touches in his NFL career. His average touch has gone for 13.8 yards.

Beckham has been as good as advertised so far, with 13 catches for 232 yards (good for an average of 17.8 yards per catch) and one touchdown in two games. He’s a no-doubt WR1 every single week and should threaten for the overall WR1 title if the touchdowns are there.

We finish off the main section of the feature with one of the most unusual facts to grace the fantasy football world so far in 2019 – and it relates to the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the Denver Broncos’ once-vaunted defense, which has had all sorts of problems so far:

Zero sacks AND zero takeaways for Denver, having faced Derek Carr and Mitch Trubisky.

Quite possibly this season's most ridiculous fact. https://t.co/UrwNO8BovR

There was a time not long ago when the Denver D/ST had league-winning potential; these days, it can safely be left on the waiver wire.

Here’s a look at the rest of the most insightful takes from fantasy experts this week:

Definitely should be playing Ezekiel Elliott across all DFS platforms. In four games where the Cowboys have won by at least 21 points, Elliott has averaged:

20 rushing attempts for 106 yards and 1.75 rushing touchdowns. pic.twitter.com/f9BOqiM7Fl

Leonard Fournette has run the 4th MOST pass routes for an RB thus far.

More than pass-catching fiends Kamara, David Johnson, Tarik Cohen, Austin Ekeler, Chris Thompson…

— Kyle Borgognoni (@kyle_borg) September 19, 2019

(The Fournette note was posted prior to Thursday, when Fournette had four catches on six targets for 28 yards; he already has 14 catches on 20 targets after finishing with just 22 and 26, respectively, a season ago.)

Passing rates in neutral game script through two weeks
