Peyton Barber Jersey , Sit and Sleepers If last week in the NFL and in fantasy football taught us anything, it’s that we know nothing.Let’s take a look
at how the crazy Week 3 impacted our projections.QUARTERBACK (3/3): Arizona
hadn’t looked very good coming into Week 3, but neither had Bears quarterback
Mitch Trubisky. This continued as Chicago got the win, but Trubisky finished
26th among fantasy quarterbacks. Meanwhile, Matt Ryan and Kirk Cousins both
delivered on their respective start and (anti)sleeper predictions. Granted,
Cousins’ drop in points came for other reasons. RUNNING BACKS (3/3): Saquon
Barkley bad good on my starting advice while Jordan Howard was able to bounce
back into the Top-15. Lamar Miller was my sit and while he finished 20th (RB2 in
12-team leagues), sitting him was definitely the right choice for your DFS
players.RECEIVERS (1/3): Once again my worst grouping of the week. Fitzgerald’s
PPR machine didn't get going against Chicago. Austin Seferian-Jenkins made good
on my sit advice after being a popular sleeper option in Week 3, and while I got
my sleeper tight end team right it was Vance McDonald who racked up the points,
not Jesse James.DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS 2.5/3): Chicago finished with fantasy
football’s third ranked defense in Week 3, making those who started them very
happy. Pittsburgh was gifted a few turnovers and even forced one. But, the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers defense didn’t quite turn-in starting points, so we’ll call that
half a point for the sits. Our sleeper (Philadelphia Eagles) came in as DST9, so
you were in the green if you play in anything bigger than an eight team
league.OVERALL (79%): An increase in overall accuracy this week. But we want to
get it higher. Let’s get to it.QUARTERBACKSPhoto by Harry How/Getty ImagesSTART:
Philip Rivers, Los Angeles Chargers (vs San Francisco)Rivers has been strong and
steady through three weeks putting up 68 total points while completing nearly
75% of his passes thus far.San Francisco is surrendering 23.43 points per game
to quarterbacks so far
Authentic Ryan Smith Jersey , and Rivers should be able to come in somewhere around 25 points for you this weekend.SIT: Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders (vs
Cleveland Browns)The Browns have a solid defense, and the Raiders have sputtered
out of the gates in the second Gruden era of their franchise history.Oakland
could get the win, but Carr’s two touchdown to five interception ratio up to
this point doesn’t inspire any confidence in this match-up.SLEEPER: Eli Manning,
New York Giants (vs New Orleans Saints)New Orleans still doesn’t have their
secondary figured out and this is only going to help the younger Manning brother
get it figured out, for one week.Manning has completed 80% of his aimed throws
this year, tied for seventh on the season. He should be able to aim plenty
against this Saints defense.RUNNING BACKSPhoto by Otto Greule Jr/Getty
ImagesSTART: Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys (vs Detroit Lions)Concerns about
the Cowboys offense could be put on hold for one week. Especially if they ride
the legs of the their star running back.The Lions are allowing more than
25-points per week in fantasy football leagues to running backs, and Elliott is
still Top-10 despite his team’s struggles early on.SIT: Jordan Howard, Chicago
Bears (vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers)Tampa’s defensive worries are in the back end
more than the front.With one of the better linebacker duos in Kwon Alexander and
Lavonte David, along with the defensive line stacked with Gerald McCoy, Jason
Pierre-Paul and Vinny Curry, Howard figures to do little against this
unit.SLEEPER: Tarik Cohen, Chicago Bears (vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers)If there is a
Bears running back who could make a splash play or two and end up with some
contributing points to your fantasy success this week
Youth Justin Evans Jersey , it’ll be Tarik Cohen.The second-year running back hasn’t touched the ball more than eight times in a single game this season.
He had eight or fewer touches in 2017 eight times, and the Bears went 2-6 in
those games.In their 2017 loss to the Buccaneers, Cohen had eight touches in the
receiving game alone, and he turned those into 55-yards. His running totals were
significantly lower, but his ability to impact the game on offense is
clear.Chicago will need to get both backs involved to enjoy sustained success,
and given Cohen’s performance as a receiver last season, he should get some
opportunities here.RECEIVERS (WR/TE)Photo by David Eulitt/Getty ImagesSTART:
Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs (vs Denver Broncos)A no-brainer for year-long
leagues. But is he worth the price tag in DFS? Yes.Currently the league’s top
tight end in fantasy football production, Kelce has scored seven more points
than the second-place guy (Tampa Bay’s O.J. Howard) despite having more than ten
fewer targets than the league leader in that stat-line (Philadelphia’s Zach
Ertz).Playing the Broncos this week, big players show up in big games, and this
rivalry is one of those.Also, Denver is allowing the seventh-most fantasy points
to tight ends among active teams this week.SIT: Dallas Cowboys Receivers (vs
Detroit Lions)Lets see. Tavon Austin has the most fantasy points of any Cowboys
receiver with 29 (WR50). Cole Beasley has the most targets (16), but has only
converted those in 25 fantasy football points. Michael Gallup has the team’s
largest average depth of target according to Pro Football Focus, and it’s only
13-yards. Until Dak Prescott and this pass offense get things figured
out
http://www.buccaneersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-chris-godwin-jersey , it’s a hard pass on any receiver with a star on his helmet.SLEEPER: Austin
Hooper, Atlanta Falcons (vs Cincinnati Bengals)We’re going for it here, folks.
Hooper is far from a focal point of this offense, but is still 17th among
fantasy football tight ends in targets with thirteen. Only eight tight ends have
more than fifteen right now, so he isn’t far off from being a Top-10 targeted
tight end.This week he draws a Cincinnati defense which gave up three catches to
the Panthers’ Ian Thomas who had been targeted no more than six times coming
into Week 3.Hooper may not be a star, but he’s better than Thomas. So is his
quarterback. With the Bengals focused on the myriad of other weapons Atlanta
possesses, this is a sneaky spot for Hooper to have a good week.DEFENSE/SPECIAL
TEAMSPhoto by Scott Halleran/Getty ImagesSTART: Jacksonville Jaguars (vs New
York Jets)The Jaguars have the eighth highest fantasy football points output in
the NFL right now. Going up against this Jets offense should help them climb in
or near the Top-5.SIT: Denver Broncos (vs Kansas City Chiefs)I don’t think the
Chiefs offense will play the way they have every week, but I don’t think it’s
going to stop this weekend.The Chiefs are allowing negative points per game on
average for opposing fantasy defenses. Yeah. Stay away from that.SLEEPER: New
York Jets (vs Jacksonville Jaguars)The Jets have a really solid defense. It’s
the offense that’s the problem.Jacksonville knows the struggle all too well, and
we may see a game where both defenses come in producing points which make every
player happy.Bucs vs. Steelers history If you would have told Tampa Bay fans
that their team would be 2-0 heading into this Monday night matchup, they
probably would have looked at you like you are crazy. Ryan Fitzpatrick has been
everything the team hoped for and more. He’s the MVP of the league right
now.Monday night is a big game for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The constant drama
surrounding this team is a bit ridiculous and they need a win to quiet down the
emotions in that building. The Buccaneers and Steelers aren’t too familiar with
each other. With the Steelers playing in the AFC and the Bucs in the NFC,they
only face one another every four years. Monday night will only be the 11th time
that they will go head to head. This will be the seventh time in 11 matchups
that Pittsburgh is traveling to Tampa Bay. All-time series record: Pittsburgh is
8-2 against Tampa Bay. Last matchup: The “future” Mike Glennon led a last minute
drive en route to a 27-24 win for the Buccaneers.Buccaneers home record vs
Steelers: 1-5Statistic of the week: Can the Buccaneers stay hot? Or will the
Steelers capture their first win of the season? Should be a fun one at Raymond
James Stadium on Monday night football.
