“Week 3 lineup is in: Penix news locks in my Falcons, Bowers in on upside, Coker stays hot in FLEX.”
Wk3 lineup set: Burrow / Bijan + Henderson / London + Adams / Bowers / Coker FLEX / Reichard / PIT. Penix starting Thu is a big upgrade for my Falcons — locking London and Bijan. Bowers limited Wed and trending to debut so I start him over Henry on upside; Flowers DNP Wed so he rides the bench behind the hot hand Coker (back-to-back strong games, played through ankle last week). Henderson keeps RB2 over Love's 40% rotation. Will re-evaluate Bowers/Flowers on Saturday's turn with Fri practice before Sunday locks.
