WEEK 3 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker FanDuel Picks Week 3: NFL DFS example lineup CORE PLAY: QB Kyler Murray, Cardinals vs. Panthers ($7,200) Week 3 is an interesting week at quarterback. I expect the majority of ownership to sway toward the Ravens-Chiefs matchup with Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes standing out at the top of the pricing. While you’re not going to get any arguments from me if you want to play either of those two guys, I want to spend down a bit at the position to help jam in Ezekiel Elliott and another high-volume running back....

Can you hold your excitement until Monday? That’s when the Steelers bring their soap opera to Tampa Bay, where the Buccaneers play the last game before Jameis Winston returns and bumps their own drama up a few notches. Worthwhile, right?

We can feel especially good about a few studs this week who find themselves in domes, Butker and Wil Lutz, along with our newly minted star, Slye. There are also no reasons to be concerned about stalwarts like Ka’imi Fairbairn and Matt Bryant, either.

We have the Crimson Tide and the Nittany Lions in the Sugar Bowl, and the Sooners and Tigers in the Rose Bowl Game. MORE: Week 5 College Football Playoff picture...

The highest team total (29.3 pts) for the week belongs to the Atlanta Falcons, coming off a bye and facing the struggling Miami Dolphins at home. Every player from the Falcons is in play here and I’ll dive a little deeper into their side of the ball. The other game that is an obvious stack spot is the Saints, off their bye week as well to take on the Lions in the Superdome....

Last week, we hit big with some of our sleepers. Namely, Mark Ingram and Keke Coutee, who were aided by TDs in their efforts. Austin Hooper represented our TE sleepers well, too, seeing a season high in targets, catches, and yardage, while two of our defenses (Arizona, New York Jets) were hits. However, our QB picks last week didn’t perform well as Blake Bortles, Joe Flacco, and Marcus Mariota all had their fair share of struggles....

A total of 12 FBS schools remain unbeaten, including eight schools from the Power 5 conferences. Our playoff picks from last week remain the same, at least for this week. MORE: This week’s SN Power Rankings | AP Top 25 | Coaches Poll A look at Sporting News’ bowl projections for the 2015-16 season heading into Week 9.

Helping Overweight Kids Once a child is diagnosed as being overweight, his parents are usually given general information on improving his nutrition and encouraging him to be more physically active. Unfortunately, this advice hasn’t helped the current child obesity epidemic much yet, and these kids often return the following year and have gained another 10 to 15 pounds. Having specific weight loss goals, in addition to more specific advice on how to eat healthier and how much more active they need to be, can be much more helpful....

Weigl is targeting a September return and the midfielder on Tuesday trained with his Dortmund team-mates for the first time since his injury. Dortmund 2/5 to beat Hertha Berlin While Saturday’s Bundesliga game at home to Hertha Berlin comes too soon for Weigl, the club tweeted he should be available for action “one to two weeks after the international break”. Dortmund posted videos of Weigl in training on social media to display the progress being made by the highly-rated 21-year-old, who started 30 Bundesliga matches last season....

Coleman commented in response to reports on Wednesday that Bale is ready to refuse the renewal of his contract at Real Madrid until 2021, as the Welshman is eyeing a move to Manchester City or Manchester United, reports Efe. “I’d prefer to see Gareth stay in Spain with Real Madrid, purely for selfish reasons,” Coleman told the Mirror on Wednesday.

Ozil’s current deal expires in 2018 but the Germany international reportedly wants improved terms to remain at the Emirates Stadium. The 28-year-old also wants to be part of a winning team, with Arsenal without a Premier League title since 2004. And as Wenger remained coy over Ozil’s future, the Frenchman quipped: “If you have a good bank, call me.” Wenger added: “I don’t think he needs convincing. He wants to stay here....

In an interview with Canal 13 in Chile this week, Sanchez was quoted as saying: “I want to play Champions League. The decision does not depend on me, I have to wait for Arsenal.” His apparent desire to leave the Gunners came after they missed out on qualification for Europe’s elite club competition for the first time in 20 years last season - Arsenal finishing fifth despite Sanchez’s career-best 24 league goals....

The usual suspects are still near the top, but one notable riser is Tampa Bay’s Ronald Jones. With Leonard Fournette (ankle) absent and LeSean McCoy banged up, Jones was targeted nine times and had six catches against the Chargers. If Fournette and McCoy miss time going forward, Jones and rookie Ke’Shawn Vaughn will handle the workload out of the backfield and Jones will have more PPR upside, as Tom Brady loves to throw to his RBs....

Reminder: The sleeper picks below could fail miserably this week. We always take a few chances because listing a bunch of “must-starts” and pretending they’re “sleepers” doesn’t help anyone. There’s no need to start the players below over proven studs, but if your roster is full of stars, then you don’t need our help anyway. If nothing else, our sleeper picks can help you spot DFS values, as the prices of these players should be affordable....

More from Iyer: Week 9 NFL picks Before they break down this week's schedule of games, Bender and Iyer also look back on Dez Bryant's actions and words from the Cowboys' frustrating Week 8 loss at Detroit. They agree the elite Dallas wide receiver has much growing up to do. You can listen to all of Huddle Up! (brought to you by Radio Exiles at Podomatic) right here, which includes Bender (Falcons) and Iyer (Bills) going with some shocking upsets in Week 9:
