Fantasy Football Week 3: Key Start and Sit Decisions Amid Injuries
Multiple injuries to top players are forcing fantasy football managers to make tough start and sit choices for Week 3.
- Wide receivers like Cooper Kupp, Deebo Samuel, and A.J. Brown are out, making lesser-known players like Khalil Shakir and Rashid Shaheed potential starters.
- Quarterbacks have mostly avoided injuries, but Bryce Young has been benched, and Derek Carr faces a favorable matchup against the Eagles.
- Top running backs like Christian McCaffrey are injured, while lower picks like Alvin Kamara and J.K. Dobbins have been surprisingly productive.
- Tight ends have been less affected by injuries, but players like Hunter Henry and Pat Freiermuth are recommended starts due to favorable matchups.
- Fantasy managers should avoid starting players like Michael Pittman Jr., Baker Mayfield, and Tucker Kraft due to unfavorable conditions and matchups.
