Week 3 Starting Lineups - "If Real Football Used Fantasy Scoring..."

New this week, by popular demand - fantasy matchup grades. Instead of just listing the fantasy lineups for each team, I will also now grade each player on how well they match up to their opponent. These grades will reflect only this week's games and not be an overall reflection of how well each player will grade out over the course of the season.

Grades will be given ranging from F to A+ for all listed fantasy starters. If a player is not listed as a fantasy starter below, consider them to graded an F- and also know that other than fluke plays or injuries, they will not be expected to see any significant time and should not warrant a start on any fantasy roster.

As with all fantasy grading/projection systems, the Creative Misfortune fantasy grades are meant to be a guideline to help you make roster decisions, not the final rule.

Check back on Tuesday for the results of this week's "If Real Football Used Fantasy Scoring..." matchups.
