Week 2 was a disaster in terms of injuries. From Saquon Barkley<\/a><\/strong> to Christian McCaffrey<\/a><\/strong>, there was no shortage of big names going down. That makes these names all the more important. Each week this column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo leagues or less. This group of players is basically a dream<\/span>\u00a0stream team. For reference, the threshold used for Wins and Losses in this article will be if the quarterbacks can score 15 plus points, such as\u00a0Gardner Minshew<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0who will look to keep \u201cMinshew Mania\u201d alive on Thursday Night Football, and if the rest can score 10 plus PPR points. Here is the stream team for week three.<\/p>\n

          Week 3 Stream Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          Quarterback \u2013 Gardner Minshew (JAX \u2013 46%) v MIA<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Minshew Mania is in full swing once again and boy is it glorious. Gardner was one of my most hyped players before the season started and was a feature as one of my bold predictions<\/strong><\/a>. There\u2019s so much to love about Minshew not only as a player but as a fantasy option too. So far he\u2019s been getting it done almost entirely through the air, which is a great sign, but he also has sneaky rushing ability as well that can give you a boost any given week. This week he gets to face a soft Miami Dolphins<\/strong> defense in primetime on Thursday Night Football. The mustache man is a great option in Week 3.<\/p>\n

          Honorable Mentions \u2013 Mitchell Trubisky<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(CHI\u00a0\u2013 8%) @ ATL,\u00a0Ryan Fitzpatrick<\/a> <\/strong>(MIA\u00a0\u2013 5%) @ JAX<\/em><\/p>\n

          \n

          the three QBs leading the NFL in completion percentage above expectation through week 2 are Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, and Gardner Minshew, just like we all expected<\/p>\n
