White Ryan Fitzpatrick 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, and Rivers should be able to come in somewhere around 25 points for you this weekend.SIT: Derek Carr http://www.authenticstampabaybuccaneers.com/cheap-chandler-catanzaro-jersey , 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, 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 http://www.authenticstampabaybuccaneers.com/cheap-donovan-smith-jersey , 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, 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 Youth Lavonte David Jersey , 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.Fantasy Buccaneers: Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a talented group of wide receivers. Arguably the most talented in the NFL, and definitely tops in the division.But, which ones should be on your draft board entering your fantasy football draft?*Statistics provided by Pro Football FocusPlayer: Wide Receiver, Mike Evans (WR17 in 2017)2017 Fantasy Football Statistics:- 71 receptions- 1,004 receiving yards- 5 touchdowns- 1 fumble- 200 PPR points (.34 points per opportunity)Evans is obviously going to be a draft target for many fantasy football enthusiasts in 2018, but we’d be kidding ourselves if we didn’t acknowledge his WR17 finish one season ago is a bit discouraging.Simply put, Evans was not immune to the offensive deficiency experienced by the team in 2017, and just how much we all believe the unit can improve this season is going to be a big factor in this decision.2018 Fantasy Football Projections:- 81 receptions- 1,171 receiving yards- 8 touchdowns- 1 fumble- 248.8 PPR points (WR9)Obviously PFF has some confidence Evans can bounce back and regain his Top-10 status in the fantasy football world.So, do I. Unless you’re in a ten-team league or larger Peyton Barber Jersey , this puts the Buccaneers receiver squarely in WR2 territory which is good place to put him as we all wait to see just how this season shapes up.2018 Fantasy Football Outlook: WR, Mike EvansBest Match-Up: Week 9 @ Carolina PanthersWorst Match-Up: Week 1 @ New OrleansWhere to Draft: 2nd RoundFantasy Playoff Potential: Two of Evans’ three playoff match-ups are against Top-10 defenses. If he truly rebounds, you may be able to survive it, just make sure you game plan to have a receiver with softer match-ups if you do. Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY SportsPlayer: Wide Recevier, DeSean Jackson (WR43 in 2017)2017 Fantasy Football Statistics:- 50 receptions- 668 receiving yards- 3 touchdowns- 0 fumbles- 139 PPR points (.31 points per opportunity)Jackson is one of those receivers who probably shouldn’t be drafted because the volume of production simply isn’t there enough in most fantasy formats.However, his explosiveness and the possibility of finishing every snap in the end zone keeps him relevant and almost always sees someone draft him.This year will be different. Not only did he and Jameis Winston simply not put together a strong showing, the quarterback is going to be out for the first three games and the emergence of another Buccaneers receiver is threatening to take some targets away from the veteran speedster.2018 Fantasy Football Projections:- 47 receptions- 732 receiving yards- 4 touchdowns- 1 fumble- 156.2 PPR points (WR48)At first glance, more yards and more touchdowns mean improvement. Fewer catches though means less consistent performance, and that’s a problem.Jackson wasn’t a reliable fantasy option in 2017, and if these numbers hold up, he won’t be one in 2018 either.2018 Fantasy Football Outlook: WR, DeSean JacksonBest Match-Up: Week 9 @ Carolina PanthersWorst Match-Up: Week 1 @ New OrleansWhere to Draft: Undrafted Hand-Cuff OptionFantasy Playoff Potential: With two tough defenses scheduled for playoff time it’s going to be hard to justify keeping Jackson on your roster. Hand-cuffing wide receivers isn’t a very popular strategy, but if you have an open spot and Evans on your roster, maybe think about stashing Jackson until a better free-agent comes available.
