Hermsmeyer: Air Yards Buy-Low Model, Week 3

• Andrews' fantasy and DFS managers win big: Buy-low target Mark Andrews was the top TE in Week 2 and was on DraftKings' Milly Maker winning lineup.
• Buy-low model hits big in Week 2: Ten of the 18 players identified by the model in Week 2 outscored the Minnesota Vikings‘ Justin Jefferson, Cincinnati Bengals‘ Ja’Marr Chase and Las Vegas Raiders‘ Davante Adams – three of the four top-scoring WRs in Week 1.
• Week 3's premier buy-low candidate: The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ Diontae Johnson headlines the list for this week.

Week 2 was a solid start for the model. The top player, Donovan Peoples-Jones, may have laid an absolute egg (zero puntos and a dropped TD), but his battery-mate Amari Cooper, who was also on the list, turned in a top-10 performance.

Mark Andrews was the TE1 on the week, and he was on the DraftKings Milly Maker winning lineup (congrats to madcow65). We always love to see that.  Rookie Garrett Wilson went off for 30 PPR points, and both New England Patriots wideouts the model liked turned in excellent performances.

As we head into Week 3, it’s important to stress that WR performances are volatile. Just to underline again why the Buy-Low is useful: 10 of the 18 receivers identified by the model last week turned in better performances than Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase and Davante Adams – three of the top four scoring leaders in Week 1.
