Starter to sit

QB Tom Brady, Buccaneers

at Broncos

The Broncos have suffered a rash of injuries, which could play a part in sitting Tom Brady this week in a way. That, and Brady just isn’t good this season… yet. It’s hard to say he won’t thrive at some point with all the weapons around him, but in Week 3, the Broncos could eat up time of possession by running the clock and riding the likes of Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay in a low-scoring affair, minimalizing Brady’s’ output once again. The QB also has four picks in two games, so.

RB David Johnson, Texans

at Steelers

One can feel that David Johnson is the focal point of the Texans offense, but until their offensive line improves, that’s not going to change his impact, and the same can be said about quarterback Deshaun Watson to a lesser extent. But the biggest point to make is their opponent: the Steelers. The NFL’s No. 1 run defense so far this season.

RB Mark Ingram, Ravens

vs. Chiefs

A big-time quarterback matchup here in the Raven’s Lamar Jackson and the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes. It’s not that the Chiefs have a great run defense. In fact, they’ve allowed 150.5 yards per game on the ground which is awful. But if you have a viable No. 3 option behind Ingram, go with that option. Shootout in the making here with a lot of passing beyond the first quarter.

WR Emmanuel Sanders, Saints

vs. Packers

Without Michael Thomas in the lineup, the Saints offense, quarterback Drew Brees included, hasn’t been up to the fantasy football standards we’re used to. In Week 2, even in a game where they were passing late against the Raiders, Emmanuel Sanders got nothing going. One catch. That same situation could ensue vs. the Packers this week.

WR Marvin Jones, Lions

vs. Cardinals 

There’s a couple of things going against Marvin Jones this week. No. 1 receiver Kenny Golladay is still banged up and even if he plays, he might not be 100 percent so Jones will attract a decent amount of attention from the Cardinals. Arizona has allowed the least amount of point to opposing receivers this season in fantasy football thus far.
