Week 3 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice

CHI vs HOU: Last week, the Broncos were one of my top picks against Houston. Davis Mills did not disappoint, taking 3 sacks and failing to score a touchdown. This week it’s the same story: the Texans are on the road again, this time visiting the Bears, who are certainly good enough to take advantage of such a great matchup.

SEA vs ATL: Last week, the Falcons put up a respectable 27 points against the Rams (20 on offense), but LA still turned in a strong fantasy showing thanks to three turnovers and three sacks. I don’t see a reason to expect any better from Atlanta on the road in Seattle this week.

DAL @ NYG: Daniel Jones and the Giants avoided turnovers and took home a win against the Panthers last week, but they did it with only 19 points. Now they get to face a Dallas team that sacked Joe Burrow six times and held Joe Mixon under 60 rushing yards last week. The run-first nature of the Giants with a healthy Saquon Barkley means the Cowboys’ upside might be limited, but I don’t think they have much downside either.
