Two weeks into the season and already the injury train is a-rollin'. Hopefully your team isn't too devastated, but I suppose there's the chance that you drafted Nelson, Benjamin and Desean Jackson. There's always next year for you. For the rest of us, check out the Week 3 rankings below.
We like Drew Brees more than most, and think you should be starting him if he plays this week. Ryan Tannehill, on the other hand, could definitely struggle in an offense that hasn't clicked yet, especially since he is going up against the Bills, one of the early season defensive beasts. Giovani Bernard is definitely a guy you need to get into your lineup this week. Jeremy Hill may very well be in the doghouse, and Bernard has been very productive over the first two games this season. I would recommend caution when starting Devonta Freeman this week. He hasn't put up great numbers in the opportunities he has had in his young career and I don't expect him to suddenly turn it all around with the starting job. There's a reason they went with rookie Tevin Coleman first.
We like Percy Harvin as a WR3 this week. He's gotten consistent looks in each of the first two weeks and appears to be a favored, if not favorite, target of Tyrod Taylor. Watch out with Davante Adams this week. He was banged up in week 2 and is losing touches to James Jones and possibly Ty Montgomery as well. Jared Cook is poised for a breakout game in a matchup that could result in the Rams scoring a bunch of garbage time points, like the 49ers did last week. Be wary of starting Jordan Cameron this week. He suffered a groin injury during week 2 and has a history of not performing well when injured. Add that to a matchup with the Bills and he's a sit in our book.
Good luck this week, and try to avoid last-minute lineup changes. Don't second guess yourself!
Please wait...
