Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Week 3: Latest Fantasy Football Lineup Advice for Sunday

The clock is ticking to set your lineup before Sunday’s games and you still haven’t figured out who to start or sit this week. It’s too bad that Bill Belichick didn’t tell anyone that Rob Gronkowski would score zero points in fantasy this week, but alas, we must move on and not allow the New England Patriots to deflate dampen our spirits. 

With Sunday’s kickoffs to look forward to, it’s important to determine who is worthy of representing your team this week. Who should you start and who should you sit?

   

Start ’em: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Miami Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill? A starting fantasy quarterback? As crazy as that might sound, it makes sense this week. Why? Because the Miami Dolphins are playing against the Cleveland Browns. Need I say more?

The reality is that Tannehill hasn’t been that bad to start the season despite the Dolphins being 0-2. After a poor Week 1 performance, the Texas A&M alumnus put up 387 passing yards and two touchdowns against the New England Patriots.

While he did throw for two interceptions, Tannehill still managed to score 24.98 points.

Don’t get me wrong, Tannehill is no Andrew Luck and shouldn’t be allowed to breathe the same air as the Stanford graduate. But numbers don’t lie, and Tannehill will put up some impressive numbers against a less-than-impressive Browns defense.

   

Sit ’em: Russell Wilson, QB, San Francisco 49ers

This isn’t an attack on Russell Wilson or anything malicious; he just hasn’t been playing well enough to warrant a starting position in your lineup. Wilson is in wait-and-see mode. Don’t drop him, just let him ride the bench for a couple of more weeks until the Seattle Seahawks offense gets going. 

While he’s projected to put up the most points by a quarterback in Week 3 with 22.48, according to Yahoo Sports, he’s not a risk worth taking, as the Seahawks offense has been abysmal through two weeks.

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

The Seahawks have scored 15 points in two games against the Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams combined. As with most teams that have poor offensive showings, much of the blame must be put squarely on the quarterback’s shoulders.

Wilson has scored a total of 24.48 points in two games. To put those numbers into perspective, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys has 28.56 points through two games, and he’s only owned in 44 percent of Yahoo leagues.

Either pick up another quarterback like Prescott or rotate another quarterback into your lineup this weekend. Don’t risk starting Wilson.

   

Start ’em: Theo Riddick, RB, Detroit Lions

Theo Riddick is a No. 1 fantasy running back this week. Just let that sink in for a moment. 

It all began back in Week 1 when he proved himself to be a dangerous third-down back, putting up monster numbers against the Indianapolis Colts despite sharing carries with Ameer …
