WRs to start in Week 3:
Kelvin Benjamin (vs. Saints): Just go ahead and play all of your Panthers offensive players including . The Panthers offense will have afield day against New Orleans, and I expect Benjamin to be one of the recipients of a Cam Newton touchdown pass this week.
Tyreek Hill (vs. Chargers): was held in check in Week 2 against the Eagles. A speedy playmaker like Hill can only be contained for so long though. Before last Sunday Hill had a stretch of five straight games where he had a 50+ yard touchdown but that was ended by the Eagles defense. Hill could have a very nice week against a subpar Chargers defense.
Keenan Allen (vs. Chiefs): On the other side is a very good WR. The Chargers’ offense will likely have to throw the ball a lot to keep up with the Chiefs. Look for the Chargers to move Allen around to get him the ball, and although is a top-tier cornerback, the cornerback opposite him () can be had.
Under the Radar WRs:
Rashard Higgins (vs. Colts): You’re probably asking yourself: Who the heck is ? Higgins was the best WR for the Browns last week and seemed to be DeShone Kizer’s favorite target, especially after went down with an injury. The Colts also give up the 2nd most points to WRs, so Coleman is a good bet in Week 3.
Devante Parker (vs. Jets): Usually a wide receiver isn’t a great Fantasy option but this week they should be. is talented enough that he should see a nice week against a terrible Jets defense allowin the 10th most points to WRs, even with Cutler passing him the ball.
WRs to sit in Week 3:
Pierre Garcon (vs. Rams): I don’t even know if people are really playing this season but he definitely won’t have the season he had last year–this year he’s with the 49ers. The Rams’ defense allows the 4th least amount of points to opposing WRs so that also hurts Garcon.
Jeremy Maclin (vs. Jaguars): is finally scoring touchdowns again after signing with the Ravens this offseason. He’s been solid through two weeks but I’m avoiding him this week as the Ravens play the Jaguars who allow the 5th least points against WRs.
