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
Robert Woods (WR – HOU)
“I’m not entirely sure why people don’t like Texans WR Robert Woods. The Houston offense has thrown the ball at least 40 times in each game thus far to keep pace with their opponents, resulting in back-to-back 6-catch performances from their veteran wideout. Both Woods and teammate Nico Collins sit high atop the team lead in targets (20 and 19, respectively), and I would expect the Texans will again have to air it out to keep up with the Jaguars in Week 3. Good ol’ Bobby Trees shouldn’t be on your waiver wire!”

Josh Reynolds (WR – DET)
“Josh Reynolds is a great start this week despite sitting outside the top 100 flex rankings. Over the first two games, Reynolds has been heavily involved in the Lions offense, seeing at least six targets in both games. There is also some worry about Amon-Ra St. Brown being banged up with a potential toe injury. Even if Amon-Ra is healthy, Reynolds has a role in this offense and gets to play the Atlanta Falcons, who just gave up two touchdowns to Jayden Reed. Reynolds should be heavily involved again and is a great sleeper start for week three.”

Tony Jones Jr. (RB – NO)
“Tony Jones Jr. is a nice sleeper option if you’re in need of a flex player, assuming Jamaal Williams is unable to go in Week 3. The Saints are facing a Green Bay defense that is in the bottom three in rushing yards allowed across the first two weeks. Jones Jr. could shoulder the majority of the workload for a Saints offense that has run the ball 30 times a game in the first two weeks. ”
