Saturday Late Night Edition
Who
are you Starting & Sitting (Week 3)
Start
or Sit
(Sunday’s Games)
Javorius
Allen (start)
Just like last week, Buck Allen is a start for Week 3 against the Jaguars. He
may not do too much treading on the ground, but his pass catching skills will
help his value this week. Allen is expected to pick up the load if running back
Terrance West is limited or slowed.
Tyrod
Taylor (sit)
The Bills quarterback has an awful matchup this week facing the Broncos No Fly
Zone defense. The Denver defense hasn’t been exactly seal tight, but they seen
some pretty good skill position players at the receiver spot (like Dez Bryant
and Keenan Allen), something Taylor is lacking. Sit the Bills quarterback.
Kelvin
Benjamin (start) The Saints are in town and that means lots of yards all
around. The Saints have allowed an avalanche of yards passing and rushing in
their first two games. Time for Benjamin owners to reap the rewards of this
matchup. Start the Panthers wide out.
Jordan
Howard (sit)
The Bears starting running back is off to a slow start this season and things
may not get any better on Sunday. Howard will line up against the Steelers 8th
ranked run defense that allow just 3.3 yards per tote. Sit him.
Ameer
Abdullah (start) In what should be a matchup filled with a lot of points on
both sides, I really like Abdullah to see a fair amount of carries and overall touches
in this matchup. The Falcons allow 5.4 yards per carry, start Abdullah.
Jack
Doyle (start) The Colts tight end is the No.13 fantasy TE currently. With a
matchup against the Browns defense that’s allowed the most receptions and 3rd
most receiving yards to opposing tight ends, expect Doyle to improve his
ranking.
Jacquizz
Rodgers (sit)
The Vikings defense allows the 6th fewest fantasy points to opposing running
backs and overall they are ranked 11th against the run allowing just 3.1 yards
per carry. I don’t like Rodgers in this matchup, sit him.
Mike
Gillislee (start) The Patriots running back played more of a featured role last
week with 18 carries and a score. The Texans will be tested in the air by
quarterback Tom Brady and his bunch, which should open up a few running lanes
for Gillislee. He’s sure to get one of those easy scores as well.
Jermaine
Kearse (start) The Jets receiver has been busy through two weeks, ranked as
the No.7 fantasy WR. Kearse has been targeted 14 times in two games and figures
to see a steady diet of targets on Sunday against the Fins; a defense that’s
allowed a 73% efficiency rate for opposing receivers.
Brandon
Marshall (sit) The Giants number 3 receiver has been non-existent through two
weeks and shouldn’t be trusted at this point. Marshall has caught just two
passes and looks completely out of sync with quarterback Eli Manning right now.
Sit him.
Derrick
Henry (start)
Let me start with, sit DeMarco Murray. The writing's on the wall for this one
anyway. Even if Murray is active, he is likely to play second fiddle. Henry ran
like a beast last week totaling 92 yards on the ground and he should get the
Lionshare Sunday against the Seahawks 23rd ranked run defense that allows 5.2
yards per carry.
Jeremy
Hill (sit) The
team axed their Offensive Coordinator and head Coach Marvin Lewis has to be
feeling the heat. Expect a lot of changes, including the usage of or lack of
usage for running back Jeremy Hill. There are whispers this week we could see
more of the rookie running back Joe Mixon. Hill’s a risky play, pass on him
this week.
Hunter
Henry (start)
The Chargers tight end finally got some work in week 2 and turned in a nice
stat line of 7/80/0. Henry caught all seven of his targets last week and could
be just as busy Sunday against a Chiefs defense that’s allowed the 6th most
receiving yards against opposing tight ends. Start Henry.
Samaje
Perine (start) Starter Rob Kelley has been ruled out, so the rookie will get
the nod. Start him. The Raiders are ranked 19th versus the run, allowing 4.8
yards per carry. Perine should get plenty of run in the backfield Sunday night.
That’s My Take.
