Fantasy Football Week 3 Rankings & Start/Sit Advice
Week 3 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice
Tyler Higbee (LAR) at ARI: Higbee has a position-high 20 targets, which he has leveraged into a respectable 12 receptions and 110 yards. And the Cardinals defense has allowed an NFL-high 24.4 FPPG to tight ends this year. There’s no way this ends well for Higbee investors — but this is a perfect setup.
Hayden Hurst (CIN) at NYJ: Hurst is No. 3 on the team with 90 routes and No. 2 with 15 targets and 10 receptions. The Jets defense last year was No. 31 in pass DVOA against tight ends (26.7%). If I cared enough about this blurb, this is where I’d write a third sentence.
Evan Engram (JAX) at LAC: Even though he has a snap rate of just 70.2%, Engram — compared to WRs Marvin Jones and Zay Jones — is functionally the co-No. 2 receiver for the Jaguars on the basis of routes (61 vs. 68, 66), targets (12 vs. 11, 13) and yards receiving (74 vs. 71, 88). Last year, the Chargers defense allowed the most FPGG to tight ends (10.9).
Tyler Conklin (NYJ) vs. CIN: The Jets have an NFL-high 103 pass attempt with QB Joe Flacco, who is starting once again in Week 3, and TE C.J. Uzomah (hamstring) missed Week 2 with a doubtful injury designation and is uncertain to play this week. With his every-down role (95.5% snap rate), Conklin is No. 2 on the Jets with 92 routes and 16 targets, which he has leveraged into a respectable 10-56-1 receiving.
