Finding Paydirt: Week 3 Results
What a donkey… I was able to write up why I loved Chris Godwin for a touchdown but Mike Evans was a great leverage play. Welp…
Now that we know how my touchdown-picking went, I am here to update the results and provide a new leaderboard with one week left for the first RotoGrinders T-shirt. Week 3 came with a boat-load of touchdowns and as such the leaderboard went nuts. Mike Evans, Greg Olsen, Aaron Jones, oh my…

PRBill1 and bdub02 went off with five touchdowns apiece this Sunday. Normally, that would be the headline. Instead, BroLantis and schmidtty88 one-upped the duo with six touchdowns each. BroLantis, in particular, is absolutely scorching hot with 12 total touchdowns in the first three weeks of the season — easily making him the man to beat going into Week 4. Behind BroLantis, we find six contestants tied with nine touchdowns. Based on this past week, anything can truly happen if BroLantis does not add any touchdowns in Week 4.
Be sure to come back on Friday to enter your picks for Week 4 in the last effort for a T-shirt. Even if not for the shirt, all of the touchdowns add up for the season-long prize — a three-month combo premium membership to RotoGrinders content. Good luck!
Week 3 Takeaways
What the hell is going on with NFL officiating? I didn’t mention this in Friday’s article but the Thursday Night Football game was borderline unwatchable. Aside from the completely vanilla-approach of both offenses, the game felt like a series of stops and starts as officials called basically every hold that could be called. Since holding can probably be called on every play, this became tedious very quickly. Emphasize something else!
Danny Dimes is alive! Finally, after far too long, the Giants decided to legitimately bench Eli Manning and allow their fans something new. Will Daniel Jones perform like this one a weekly basis? Probably not. Was this a breath of fresh air after watching a statue misfire for four quarters? Absolutely! More of Danny Dimes, please.
Adios, Antonio Brown. Based on his social media presence, I am starting to really buy that Antonio Brown had his bell rung a few too many times. The alleged acts are horrible but the reactions to everything thus far point to a complete lack of reason and sense. Hopefully, we get a reprieve from this for a long time.
Survivor Pool thoughts? I went with the Vikings in my really large pool to fade the Patriots and Cowboys chalk. The Cowboys were 50% selected in the large pool I am in and how sweet it would have been to see a ridiculous upset. Having both teams available going forward will be useful. Who is this week’s chalk? The Rams?
Thanks for reading. Come back each Friday and Tuesday to play along with the community and react to my weekly takeaways.
