D-Man's Week 3 Fantasy Football Sunday Matchups Report By: Dan Schreiber
I am Dan "D-Man" Schreiber from the Empty The Bench Podcast Network. Based on my three fantasy football PPR teams, I will explain what players I feel you should start and sit for the week 3 Sunday games. Besides my three teams, I will discuss other players to start and sit for the week 3 Sunday games for PPR leagues. I will also let you guys know what players are not to start because of injuries.
Players based on my three fantasy football teams to start:
Start
QB: Justin Herbert & Trevor Lawrence
RB: Rhamondre Stevenson, Zack Moss, Raheem Mostert, Jerome Ford, Bijan Robinson, and Travis Etienne
WR: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Chris Olave, Nico Collins, and Chris Godwin
TE: Dallas Goedert
W/R/T: Brian Robinson, DJ Moore, and James Cook
DEF: Chiefs & Browns
K: Jake Moody & Tyler Bass
Players based on my three fantasy football teams to sit:
Sit
QB: Sam Howell
RB: Isiah Pacheco, Austin Ekeler, Brian Robinson, Derrick Henry, Tyjae Spears, Dameon Pierce,
WR: Terry McLaurin, Skyy Moore, Christian Kirk, Courtland Sutton, and Marquise Brown
DEF: Bills & Saints
-In one of my leagues, I'm not starting Ekeler on Sunday due to maybe not playing because of an ankle injury. In his place, I have Moss. If Ekeler ends up playing, then start him.
-In one of my leagues, I'm not starting Henry on Sunday due to not playing because of a toe injury. In his place, I have Ford in my starting lineup over Henry's backup, Spears, because Ford is more of a better RB, and he'll get more carries. If Henry ends up playing, then start him.
-I have a backup QB, Howell, in one of my leagues because he will be a good pickup when the Commanders vs. Bears in week five since QB Herbert will be on a bye week then. Howell should have a great game against a terrible Bears DEF.
-I have the Bills DEF on my bench in one of my leagues because I have RB Robinson in my starting lineup since the Commanders vs. Bills. Having players and a DEF in your starting lineup vs. each other the same week is not a good idea because you might lose points and your matchup.
Players besides my three fantasy football teams to start:
Start
QB: Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff, and Jordon Love
RB: Christian McCaffrey, Kyren Williams, and D'Andre Swift
WR: Justin Jefferson, Tee Higgins, and Mike Evans
TE: Travis Kelce, Sam LaPorta, and Hunter Henry
DEF: Cowboys, Jets, and Jaguars
K: Justin Tucker, Younghoe Koo, and Chris Boswell
Players besides my three fantasy football teams to sit:
Sit
QB: Joe Burrow, Justin Fields, and Russell Wilson
RB: Joe Mixon, Alexander Mattison, and James Connor
WR: Adam Thielen, Michael Pittman Jr., and JuJu Smith-Schuster
TE: David Njoku, Zach Ertz, and Cole Kmet
DEF: Packers, Raiders, and Bears
K: Jason Sanders, Greg Joseph, and Ka'imi Fairbairn
Here are players that may or may not start Sunday due to injuries:
QB: Bryce Young (ankle), Joe Burrow (calf), and Anthony Richardson (concussion)
RB: Derrick Henry (toe), Breece Hall (knee), and Miles Sanders (pectoral)
WR: Jaylen Waddle (concussion), DK Metcalf (ribs), and DeAndre Hopkins (ankle)
