Which under-the-radar players might be able to give your fantasy team a lift? Which chalky players might not be as safe as they seem? Our featured analysts name some potential sleepers and underachievers along with start/sit advice for Week 3. Find all their Week 3 start/sit lineup advice here. And below we dive into a few notable players.
Fantasy Football Week 3 Start/Sit Advice
Kendre Miller (RB – NO)
“Kendre Miller has top-24 upside this week. Alvin Kamara‘s suspension has one game left. Meanwhile, Jamaal Williams will miss time with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2. However, head coach Dennis Allen said Miller should make his NFL debut this week against the Packers. While some are worried about Taysom Hill, the Saints gave Tony Jones Jr. two rushing touchdowns over Hill after Williams left the matchup against the Panthers. Meanwhile, Green Bay has surrendered 4.4 yards per rushing attempt and 25.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game to running backs this season. Miller is a borderline must-start RB2 in Week 3.”

“Rookie Kendre Miller is making his NFL debut this weekend. He has been hampered by a nagging hamstring injury but is practicing in full leading up to a matchup against a Denver Broncos defense that gave up chunks of yards to Brian Robinson. He will share the backfield with Tony Jones but should have a solid week. He should be a solid flex start with possible RB2 numbers this week.”

Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)
“The Bills finally got the ball rolling in Week 2, and I think the key was balance. Dalton Kincaid, as he progresses, will benefit from that said balance, as defenses are now going to be a little more concerned about the Bills’ rushing attack. There is no better situation for a young player to get both targets and TD opportunities, as the man isn’t designed to block and when on the field, will only run routes. I think he gets his TD this Week 3, and I think he has over 50+ yards receiving.”

Tyjae Spears (RB – TEN)
“Tyjae Spears against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3 is a good sleeper start. Spears saw his touches increase from 4 in Week 1 to 10 in Week 2. He has been incredibly efficient on the ground, averaging 6.9 yards per carry on his 11 rushes so far this season. Spears has gotten some work in the passing game as well- it’s clear the Titans want him involved in the offense. I wouldn’t be surprised if Spears scores double-digit fantasy points in Week 3, similar to Jaylen Warren in Week 2 against the Browns.”
