Here is our fantasy football start/sit article, including all the players we’re calling sleepers and duds this week. Below, let’s take a closer look at a few players to consider this week.
Quentin Johnston (WR – LAC)
“Quentin Johnston is finally back on the fantasy radar and is a good sleeper start in Week 3. It would not surprise me if he becomes Justin Herbert‘s top target. He does not have the best matchup this week against Pittsburgh and will likely face defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick. I do look for Johnson to be a valuable wide receiver for fantasy teams for the duration of the season.”

Najee Harris (RB – PIT)
“I’m not sure how Najee Harris made his way into the top 40. It’s a low scoring offense with only 2 TDs on the season. The Steelers are also splitting snaps among their RBs (and the RB playing QB), and Najee was outsnapped by Jaylen Warren last game.”

Mike Evans (WR – TB)
“After smashing in Week 1, Mike Evans regressed last week, and I expect him to stay down for at least another week. Denver ranks No. 1 against fantasy WRs, and the matchup through the air isn’t super inviting. It’s likely that you need to start Evans, but if you have a suitable option to pivot to, I’d seriously consider it.”
– Kevin Roberts (Breaking Football)
“Mike Evans had a down week in Week 2; I do not anticipate that changing going into Week 3. Evans and the Buccaneers host the Broncos in week three. On the surface, the matchup looks intriguing. The Buccaneers have been good on offense, and the Broncos have struggled as a team for seasons; however, the Broncos have allowed the fewest fantasy points to the opposing team’s wide receivers in the young 2024 season. Mike Evans will play the X receiver primarily in this game, and Patrick Surtain II has limited both DK Metcalf to 29 yards in week one and George Pickens to 29 yards in Week 2. I anticipate Chris Godwin will have a solid fantasy production day out of the slot, and Mike Evans will have a difficult time meeting the WR11 and 12.8 fantasy points in half-point PPR projected production.”
– Derek Dennington (The Good Old Boys Fantasy Football Podcast)
“Mike Evans is the player in the top 40 flex rankings that is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week. He only had 42 receiving yards in Week 2 and faces defensive back, Patrick Surtain, and the Denver Broncos in Week 3. Chris Godwin continues to see more targets for Tampa Bay versus Mike Evans.”
