*Three Up, Three Down is Greg Vorse looking deeper into the week-by-week fantasy rankings to tell you 3 guys ranked 15th or worse who should be in your starting lineup and 3 guys ranked inside the top 10 that he thinks could underachieve.

I'm currently putting the experts in their place by finding their flaws at a 71.5% clip hitting on 18 correctly, 6 incorrectly, and 4 "ties."

 

1 UP) Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans: Mariota is coming off of a 30 point performance against the Eagles and now gets a beat up Bills secondary to throw against. He won't set the world on fire, but should be ranked significantly higher than QB #22.

2 UP) Kerryon Johnson, RB, Lions: At some point Detroit is going to realize Kerryon needs to be Kerrying (see what I did there) the ball every time they decide to run. He finally found the endzone last week and has been pulling in three catches a game. Add it all up and you have a guy who needs to be higher than RB #27.

3 UP) Alex Smith, QB, Redskins: A lot like Mariota this is a matchup play as Washington and the Saints could be in a shootout and it's not like the N.O. defense has been stellar. Smith is coming off of a bye week and could need to score in the 30s to win. Play him ahead of his 17th ranking.

 

1 DOWN) James Conner, RB, Steelers: The running back blew up in week one of filling in for Bell, but he has regressed each week since. He should play well against the Falcons injured D, but to think he will score over 20 and be a top 7 RB seems a bit much at this point.

2 DOWN) Kyle Rudolph, TE, Vikings: Rudolph is coming off of a 1 catch for 11 yard performance against San Fran. I wouldn't expect that again, but his limited targets could be a sign that Cousins is starting to trust their stud WRs more than the TE. 

3 DOWN) Vikings D: Lets stay with Minnesota and pick on the defense. They are listed as a top 10 D against Philly and the time of taking advantage of Wentz returning is trickling into the ethers. Hedge your best with this squad.

DEEP DIVE: Doug Baldwin is currently slotted as the 28th WR, but in his first game back from injury he saw 7 targets hauling in 5 of them for 41 yards. All that should go up as Wilson starts to fall back in love with his top dog.

 

UP/DOWN TRACKER: Dude(ette), I was 6 for 6 in my 3 up, 3 down last week. STRAIGHT CASH HOMIE!
