Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Week 3: Reviewing Fantasy Football’s Top Fringe Starters

Another week, another dilemma in your fantasy lineup. 

While it’s important to not make too many knee-jerk reactions after one bad game, you need to be realistic and not play favorites. Antonio Brown had a rare bad game last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he’s still a must-start.

Don’t punish a consistently good player because he could only muster 3.90 points on 11 targets. Instead, hope that he rebounds against the Philadelphia Eagles where he is projected to score 15.84 points.

However, don’t assume every player has the ability to bounce back like Brown. Here’s a look at a few players who should either start or be benched for Week 3:

Start ’em: Joe Flacco, QB, Baltimore Ravens

Joe Flacco is back, ladies and gentlemen. 

Flacco had his way against the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 despite turning over the ball on a couple of occasions. He’s looked more calm and poised in the pocket through the first two weeks of the 2016 season than he did all of last year, and that may be because he has found a new favorite target in Mike Wallace.

Flacco finished with 302 passing yards and two scores. Flacco put up 18.18 points in Week 2 and is a viable quarterback to insert into your lineup, especially since Baltimore is playing against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. 

Sit ’em: Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks

Until he proves himself to be a competent starting quarterback in the NFL again, Wilson is in wait-and-see mode. 

While he’s projected to put up the most points by a quarterback in Week 3, don’t listen to the projections this week. The Seahawks offense has been abysmal so far this season.

Russell Wilson’s Seahawks are averaging 7.5 points per game this season.
