We are here to dig into the toughest decisions you may be facing for your fantasy matchup this week and give you answers. Some of those answers may even be right! Presenting our Week 3 start 'em, sit 'em calls. D'Andre Swift, RB, Philadelphia Eagles Swift has long been a fantasy trap because he is a dual-threat back with big-play ability. Yet he has consistently disappointed as injuries, coaching decisions, and some subpar vision have all contributed to a falling fantasy stock in recent years. He did nothing in his first game with the Philadelphia Eagles and we thought it would be another year of the same thing for Sw…

data-mm-id=”_izfq7192k”>Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been the poster child for the Kansas City Chiefs' issues at wide receiver this season. The 29-year-old was plagued by drops and not performing when his team needed it the most. But on the biggest play of the season, Valdes-Scantling came up with a circus catch to seal KC's trip to its fourth Super Bowl in five seasons. The Chiefs faced third-and-9 from their 46-yard line while leading the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 with 2:19 remaining in the fourth quarter. Patrick Mahomes dropped back and floated a ball deep downfield to Valdes-Scantling. MVS stumbled and fell backwards but managed to bring in the ball while on his back at Baltimore's 22-yard line. It was an unbelievable play. Check it out:MVS IN A BIG SPOT.📺: #KC…

Thierry Henry has blamed two Arsenal players for their defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Thursday.
Having drawn 2-2 at the Emirates, the Gunners limped out of the Champions League at the Allianz Arena, with a Joshua Kimmich header in the second half the difference between the two sides.

The Germany international powered the ball home under no pressure from a Raphael Guerreiro cross, and Jamie Carragher pointed the finger of blame at Gabriel Martinelli for failing to track the runner.
But Henry claimed was just as much at fault for the goal, insisting the Japan international was too focused on Leroy Sane, who had no hope of scoring.
Henry, who seemed really angry, said on CBS Sports: Jamie, can I play…

According to reports, Arsenal would be open to selling Brazil international Gabriel Jesus during this summer s transfer window.
The Gunners paid around £45m to sign Jesus from Premier League rivals Man City during the 2022 summer transfer window.
At the time, this was viewed as a coup but Jesus has been seriously impacted by injuries over the past two seasons.
Jesus has also been wasteful in front of goal as he has slipped behind summer signing Kai Havertz in the pecking order.
The 27-year-old has just 19 goals in his 66 appearances for Arsenal across all competitions, while Kai Havertz has 13 goals in his 48 outings during his debut season.
