PRO RosterWatch Week 3 Matchup Tool

alex bylineWelcome back. This is a proprietary weekly tool provided by RosterWatch.

It is designed to be a decision-making tool for gauging the defensive opponents your fantasy players face. If you are new to this, our time-tested, most popular tool, the instructions couldn’t be simpler, and can be found below.

Week 3 Matchup Tool

To use the tool, think about your fantasy player.

Let’s say you own Raiders RB Latavius Murray, and would like to see how he matches up against the defense he faces this week.

First, look at the Raiders’ matchup for the week, and see what the number is inside the “vs. RBs” cell for the Raiders’ OPPONENT.

(Murray is an RB, and you would like to know his opponent’s rank vs. that position.)

As you will see, the Raiders are playing the Browns, who have a big, blue ‘No. 1’ in their “vs. RBs” cell. This is a great indicator for Murray owners.

Repeat the same process for other players on your roster as you are trying to decide which players to start and which to sit.

“1″ is the best matchup, “32″ is the worst.

BLUE: Best Matchups
LIGHT BLUE: Borderline Top Matchups
LIGHT RED: Borderline Bottom Matchups
RED: Worst Matchups

The rankings represented here are derived via a proprietary algorithm which takes into account not only standard “fantasy points against” metrics from 2014 and Weeks 1 and 2 of 2015, but also weighted averages and medians of separate individual player scouting grades for members of the 2015 unit that will be defending, pass-rushing, or covering against the position in question. For the first 3 weeks of the 2015 season, trends to end 2014 are quantified and reflected in the overall matchup rating as well as a substantial focus offseason personnel changes.

    Better week steam Tyrod or Tanny? and who would you rather have rest of the season? standard scoring, 6pts/tds

    1. ↓ Post By cignaci1

      Tanny should be owned all league formats.

      1. ↓ Post By ea4582

        Thanks but that I want to know their opinion

        1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

          We think both should be owned in 12-team leagues.

    2. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

      tannehill for the near future. I like taylor a lot, but his turnover potential limits his running upside.

  2. ↓ Post By ChisholmTrail

    Stevie Johnson – SD or Steve Smith – Baltimore? Both face bad matchups and I need one of the two as a flex.

    Is there a way to get rid of the ads on the right hand side? I can’t see the TE column. I’m a paid pro subscriber

      What browser and OS are you using Tim?

    WR2: A.Cooper
    RB1: L.Bell
    RB2: I.Crowell
    TE: R. Gronkowski
    Flex: D. Martin

    Bench: D. Woodhead, James Jones, DeAngelo Williams, K.Wright

    1. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

  7. ↓ Post By The_Based_Gruden

    Rough one… PPR FLEX play.

    P. Garcon tonight or wait and watch on D. Hopkins and if not roll with J. Stewart?

    1. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

      i’d wait. stewart has a plus matchup if nuk doesn’t go.

  8. ↓ Post By mendelbaum

    P Rivers or T Taylor?

  9. ↓ Post By cmartin333

    Matt Forte
    CJ Anderson
    Mark Ingram
    Frank Gore
    Shane Vareen
    Devonte Freeman

    Thanks!

      forte, anderson, ingram

    Interesting one this week Bernard or John Brown in a Flex PPR? Thanks!

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      Bernard matchup is horrible, Matchup tool says Browns is better, I’d roll with Brown in PPR, but please refer to final rankings as they’ll be updated a bit through the weekend as usual and also I’d look at Trashman’s flex rankings when they come out and see what he thinks too.

  12. ↓ Post By flemdog

    Need starting lineup (2rbs, 3 wrs, 1 flex & TE) ppr league…..
    Forsett
    Lacy (I have starks as well)
    Karlos Williams
    Danny Woodhead
    Amari Cooper
    Edelman
    Steve Johnson
    Cole Beasley
    Sammy Watkins
    Heath Miller

    Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

      forsett, woodhead, starks if no lacy, edelman, cooper, watkins, bennett

    Drop Funchess for Brandon Coleman? 14 Team PPR.

  14. ↓ Post By paigeallman1

    Because j hill let me down so bad last werk but is up against Baltimore defense I’m struggling if i should play j hill or tj yeldon…

    1. ↓ Post By jdlaw112521

      I have heard all week that j hill will be back in the saddle. Additionally, BAL d not scary now that Suggs is gone. Although NE d is not very good, believe JAX will be airing it out to try to keep up w/ NE o.

  15. ↓ Post By Gtb275

    Doesn’t sound great for Lacy to suit up on Monday. If he’s out, who would you start @ flex in 0.5 PPR – M. Gordon, S. Smith, or B. Cooks?

    1. ↓ Post By jdlaw112521

      SSS

  16. ↓ Post By Mishaman2

    Standard 2 rb and 3 wr (no flex). I’ve got Peterson and Forte as my rbs. David Johnson and Doug Martin on the bench. Nervous about Forte going into Seattle by himself. Is it crazy to consider Johnson or Martin this week instead??

  17. ↓ Post By rw-qm0cnk4cS

    does seattle really expect anyone to believe lynch wont start sunday? really? at 0-2 and mama lynch (who gives a squirt of rat piss) on the war path! anyway ,i have l bell,lynch and l murray, starting i need 2 wr out of these 4, t williams ,b marshall, a hurns, g tate, 12 tm ppr

  18. ↓ Post By jdlaw112521

    10-team PPR league w/ 1 spot for TE (ineligible for Flex). Currently have Rudolph on roster. Gates is on WW. Would you recommend picking up Gates after week 3 as replacement for Rudolph?

  19. ↓ Post By jdlaw112521

    Potential trade question…
    After week 3, would you recommend offering 0-2 team w/ QBs Brees & Kaep my Rivers/Hopkins for Demaryius Thomas?

    My roster is as follows…
    QB – Palmer, Rivers
    RB – Bell, Coleman, Martin, Adullah, Powell & Matt Jones
    WR – Cobb, Hopkins, Marshall, Stevie Johnson & Steve Smith, Sr.

    Do I play j Landry or ginn in my flex for a PPR league for week 4?
