Week 3 Fantasy Picks

Last week was not one of my best as my quarterbacks really did the opposite with my must starts and sleepers all throwing clunkers and the guys I stated not to start did better than them.  I did okay in the other spots as all my running back sleepers scored a touchdown, which never hurts.  Niles Paul, who was my surprise of the week did not disappoint as had a 8-98-1 stat line.  Let's hope that we have more of those picks and less of my quarterback picks.

Quarterbacks

Kirk Cousins, let me start with the quarterback, who is basically auditioning for a starting job in the NFL.  We don't know if it is for the Redskins or for another team, but he is auditioning.  After a solid game last week, we expect him to do pretty well again this week with the Redskins travelling to Philly to take on the Eagles.  They will need to throw and Jackson might have something to prove, which will help out Cousins as well.
Matt Ryan, if you have this guy, consider yourself lucky, at least when they are at home.  Tampa Bay is coming to the ATL and Ryan should have another nice game.  Just wanted to finish this thought as I began writing it before the game.
Nick Foles, my only issue would be is figuring out, if all of this is Foles or Chip Kelly.  Either way, Foles is becoming an every week starter as he is good for 2 touchdowns a game.  I would like that he complete more passes to Maclin and other receivers before I will begin to consider that it is all him, in the meantime, feel free to start this guy.
Andrew Luck,  he is having a hard time getting the win, but Luck is the future and the future is now.  They are going to Jacksonville winless, so this will be a game where they will need him to go off and I believe he will.

Don't Start

Colin Kaepernick, no Vernon Davis is almost as bad as no Michael Crabtree.  You might as well say he doesn't have either as Crab will be covered by Mr. Peterson, which is never good.  Stay away unless you are hoping for some rushing yards, which will not come easy either.
Andy Dalton, no AJ Green means it will be a little bit tougher and there are better options out there.  At home and not a tough opponent, but I would go somewhere else this week.
Jake Locker, playing against Cincy in Cincy.  Not a good look for any young quarterback, stay away.

Sleepers

It is now or never for this guy.

Eli Manning, looking pretty rough so far, the Giants need to get moving and this week at home against a weak offensive Houston team could be the game they need.  It will be tough to run, so expect Eli to throw a lot, maybe get you 2 touchdowns and could be a good QB# 2.
Geno Smith, I am beginning to like this guy from a fantasy perspective, but he is not getting the fantasy love he deserves.  He will be at home on Monday night with Chicago coming to town and they will be throwing, so Mr. Smith will need to keep up, which could mean 2 or maybe 3 TD's.

Running Backs

Zac Stacy, hasn't done much so far, but they have Dallas coming to town and that is the dinner bell for running backs.  Look for this guy to find the end zone on Sunday.
Frank Gore, I think with out Vernon Davis around and after last week's debacle with CK and his 4 turnovers, I expect Gore to get a heavy load and he has looked good so far.
Khiry Robinson/Pierre Thomas, Ingram is hurt and these 2 will fill the void.  Look for them to get even touches and Robinson to get goal line looks.
Stevan Ridley, the Patriots don't look to be passing much and Ridley is the goal line guy.  He had a lot of touches last week and I expect him to do the same this week.

Don't Start

Eddie Lacy, he has been up and down this year with his play and injuries.  Going into Detroit, I would not expect a lot of yards and Kuhn may vulture his goal line looks.

Sleepers

Donald Brown, will be the main back this week going to Buffalo and has been getting goal line looks already.  You could do a lot worse than this guy.
Lamar Miller, much of this is the same as Brown as with no Moreno in town, Miller will get the majority of the carries and Miami likes to run the ball.
Joique Bell/Reggie Bush, these 2 are going to have to keep the chains moving as we know this will most likely be a shoot out, but they are at home with Green Bay coming to town and this is a big game and these 2 will be needed.

Wide Receivers

Desean Jackson, Jackson has had this circled on his calendar for quite some time and I am sure Jay Gruden has this game planned and Cousins will target Jackson early and often as who knows the Philly defenders better than Desean.  They will need to throw and he should benefit.
Sammy Watkins, there are not a lot of great matchups and we might as well ride this guy and see if last week was just the beginning of a big season.
Julian Edelman, this guy should be an every week start in ppr leagues and if Brady keeps looking only his way, you might has well start him in all leagues as he is good for 8 catches a week.

Don't Start,

Michael Crabtree, too much going on this week as they travel to Arizona.  No Vernon Davis and Patrick Peterson covering him, it is time to stay away,

Sleepers

Torrey Smith, this will be conditional if Joe Haden is covering Steve Smith as they will be looking to give Torrey some targets as it has been widely publicized how little he is being used so far this year.
Mohammed Sanu, I don't love Dalton this week but he is going to have to throw the ball, so why not throw to this guy.  Big tall receiver should see some targets this week.
