Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 3

Scoring rebounded last week, but more key injuries complicate lineups. After targeting the top waiver wire adds, knowing which players have appealing matchups this week can help you maximize your odds of winning. Our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 3 explores those players and others that should be avoided in Week 3. QUARTERBACKS Start ‘Em Kirk Cousins (Minnesota Vikings) Cousins delivered an impressive performance last week, accumulating 28.56 fantasy points. That ranked him as the second-best quarterback (QB2) for the week. Cousins, alongside Tua Tagovailoa, is one of just two quarterbacks to surpass 700 passing yards over the first two weeks of the season. He currently shares the league lead in passing touchdowns with six, tying with Jordan Love. Furthermore, Cousins is set to face the Chargers, a defense that has allowed the most passing yards in the league (666) so far. Considering the high-scoring potential of this home game, Cousins deserves a spot in your starting lineup. Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns) Watson has yet to experience his breakout moment in the 2023 season. But Week 3 presents a favorable opportunity in a great matchup with a scheme that will have to change after losing Nich Chubb on Monday. The Titans’ defense is notably more resilient against the run than the pass, ranking in the bottom 10 in pass DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) but in the top 10 for run DVOA. After two games, Tennessee ranks fourth against the run but plummets to 28th versus the pass. This could be a blowup spot for the Chub-less Browns passing attack. Sit ‘Em Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers) Love has posted top-5 fantasy numbers through two games, but he’s kind of doing it with smoke and mirrors. He ranks just 26th in attempts and 23rd with a meager 396 passing yards. That lofty touchdown rate that is supporting his fantasy value isn’t something that sustainable. This week, Love will be challenged at home facing a formidable New Orleans Saints defense. The Saints have allowed more than 20 points in a league-best 10 consecutive road contests. Overall, New Orleans boasts the NFL’s No. 4 defense and has surrendered the seventh-fewest passing yards. View Love as a modest QB2 in SupeFlex leagues, but one to avoid wherever possible. Running Backs Start ‘Em Gus Edwards (Baltimore Ravens) In their first game without J.K. Dobbins, the Ravens leaned on Justice Hill for most snaps (54% to Edwards’ 46%) and high-impact situations. However, Edwards made a significant impact, outgaining Hill on his 10 carries with 62 yards compared to Hill’s 11 carries and three catches for 53 yards. Hill hasn’t practiced all week and is considered unlikely to suit up. If Justice Hill sits with a toe injury expect the Gus Bus to roll against the Colts at home. Brian Robinson (Washington Commanders) Last week, Robinson commanded 55 percent of the snaps, received 18 out of 20 running back carries, ran 17 routes, and saw three targets. He amassed an impressive 129 yards, two touchdowns, and 28.9 fantasy points in the win, leading all running backs in fantasy points for the week. Facing the Bills in Week 3, a team that has struggled against inside runs, Robinson is poised for another strong performance. Also, Antonio Gibson has become an afterthought in Eric Bieniemy’s new offense. Robinson is quietly operating as a featured back and should be considered a “must start” until that changes. Considering how well he’s played, it might not. Sit ‘Em James Conner (Arizona Cardinals) While James Conner had a solid Week 2 against the Giants, the matchup against the Cowboys in Week 3 is awful. The Cowboys have demonstrated their ability to limit opposing running backs, and their defense could be one of the best in recent memory. It’s advisable to bench most running backs facing the Cowboys, who rank first against the pass and run. Conner’s snap rate and volume are appealing. However, he’s going to struggle in a game where the Cardinals have a league-worst implied total of just 15 points. Rachaad White (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) White’s performance is heavily reliant on volume, and he faces the Eagles in Week 3, a team that has allowed just 82 rushing yards to running backs this season. With an inefficient running style and a tough run defense, White is a player to avoid in this matchup. Wide Receivers Start ‘Em Amari Cooper (Cleveland Browns) Cooper performed well in Week 2 despite being considered very questionable with a groin injury. He recorded seven catches for 90 yards on 10 targets. That performance solidified Cooper’s standing as a reliable No. 1 wideout who can be relied upon each and every week. This week, Cooper and the Browns face the Titans, who have struggled against opposing receivers in their previous two games. Only four teams have allowed more passing yards than the Titans so far in 2023. With a favorable home matchup, Cooper has the potential for a big outing. George Pickens (Pittsburgh Steelers) In the absence of Diontae Johnson in Week 3 against Cleveland, George Pickens enjoyed significant involvement in the offense. Pickens saw a career-high 10 targets from Kenny Pickett and came up big on Monday Night Football against the Browns. Pickens responded with a career-best 127 receiving yards and a touchdown. The Raiders’ defense has allowed three receivers to score at least 13.2 PPR points this season, making Pickens a strong start in all leagues for this road matchup. Sit ‘Em Marquise Brown (Arizona Cardinals) As mentioned with Conner, I am pretty much benching the Cardinals this week. Brown showed promise in Week 2 against the Giants, but his Week 3 matchup against Dallas is challenging. The Cowboys’ pass defense is the best in the NFL this season, ranking first in yards, points allowed, yards per attempt, and even sack rate. Arizona is the biggest underdog on the slate and also has the lowest implied total. At best, Brown is a marginal starter in three-receiver leagues for
Fantasy Football Injury Rundown

In a game like football, that embraces speed and hits, injuries are inevitable. It’s unfortunate, but the hope is that no player suffers any debilitating ailment. FullTime’s Fantasy Football Injury Rundown goes over all the injuries from this past week’s action and breaks down their potential impact moving forward. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Rundown. Also, we will continually update this list as more news is confirmed. Fantasy Football Injury Rundown: Week 3 Nick Chubb (RB) Cleveland Browns – Unfortunately, Chubb’s 2023 season is over after a devastating left knee injury. Chubb previously came back from a catastrophic injury to the same knee at Georgia. However, it is too early to tell if that will have any impact on the recovery of Monday’s injury. Jerome Ford becomes the top waiver wire priority for Week 3. Also, there are some rumblings of a reunion with Kareem Hunt. Browns’ HC Kevin Stefanski told reporters that he expects RB Nick Chubb to be out for the season with a significant knee injury. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 19, 2023 Saquon Barkley (RB) New York Giants – A sprained ankle is expected to sideline Barkley for 2-3 weeks. Even though he is reportedly doing better than expected in his recovery, there is no chance Barkley will play on short rest in Week 3. The positive here is Barkley avoided a high-ankle sprain and that he’s trending positively. Matt Breida would log starts for any games Barkley misses. Austin Ekeler (RB) Los Angeles Chargers – What was quite an under-the-radar ankle injury last week looks much more concerning heading into Week 3. In comments to the media after LA’s second-consecutive loss, Brandon Staley said there is no timetable for when Ekeler could be back in the Chargers’ lineup. This is obviously a big blow for fantasy managers and the Chargers, who have a pivotal game against the winless Vikings this week. Joshua Kelley dominated snaps in Week 2 and should continue to act as the club’s main back as long as Ekeler is absent. Joe Burrow (QB) Cincinnati Bengals – It could be a while before we see a fully healthy Joe Burrow. Cincinnati’s QB is still dealing with that calf injury. Zac Taylor indicated that Burrow is questionable to play in Week 3. With the Bengals scheduled for Monday, fantasy managers should consider all other options. Anthony Richardson (QB) Indianapolis Colts – Richardson’s second game was off to a promising start before he self-reported concussion symptoms and left the game in the second quarter. The first-round rookie is in the league’s concussion protocol. It could be difficult for him to be cleared in time to suit up in Baltimore. As of now, it’s looking like Gardner Minshew is likely to draw the Week 3 start. We will keep the FullTime Fantasy Discord channel appraised. David Montgomery (RB) Detroit Lions – A quad injury will keep Montgomery out for a game or two. This may, or may not mean a bigger role for Jahmyr Gibbs. After Montgomery exited on Sunday, Craig Reynolds began seeing snaps immediately. Also, the club promoted Zonoan Knight from the practice squad on Tuesday. Fortunatley, the injury isn’t particularly concerning, so it may only cost Montgomery 1-2 games. Brandon Aiyuk (WR) San Francisco 49ers – A CT scan revealed that Aiyuk’s clavicle is intact. This is good news. Aiyuk’s availability on Thursday will come down to pain tolerance. We will have an update in Discord once there is some clarity. Jamaal Williams (RB) New Orleans Saints – Williams hurt his hamstring in the second quarter and was unable to return to action. Williams has been inefficient but got a lot of opportunities in his game and a half. If he misses Week 3, Tony Jones would likely draw the start, with Kendre Miller likely to make his debut. Also, this is the final week that the Saints won’t have Alvin Kamara, who is due to return in Week 4. Williams’s potential to be an RB2/3 is on very shaky ground. Brandin Cooks (WR) Dallas Cowboys – After sitting out Week 2 with a sprained MCL, Cooks is trending toward a Week 3 return per Jerry Jones. This would actually be a surprise as MCL injuries generally take 2-3 to fully recover from. We would advise proceeding with caution this week in regards to starting Cooks. Diontae Johnson (WR) Pittsburgh Steelers – Johnson was placed on Injured Reserve by the Steelers. The earliest he will return is Week 7. Pittsburgh’s offense has looked stagnant. But Johnson is too good of a player to cut bait. Fantasy managers with IR slots have no choice but to play the waiting game. Chris Evans (RB) Cincinnati Bengals – Evans missed Week 2 with a hamstring injury. Trayveon Williams earned a 22% snap share with Evans sidelined.
