Week 3 Fantasy Football Starts of the Week

Erik Trosclair • September 22, 2024

Let's get into it!

QB


Baker Mayfield - Baker is off to a great start this season. I like for him to keep it going against Denver this week.


Jared Goff - Goff is off to a shaky start so far this season, but this is a perfect opportunity. This Cardinals defense gives up the 3rd most points to QBs this season, and this is the highest over/under of the week.


Derek Carr - Derek Carr is playing some unreal football this season. This is the second highest over/under of the week. I think we will see some points in the Dome.


Brock Purdy - Purdy isn't off to the best start this season, but this Rams team is struggling right now. The Rams defense gives up the 4th most points to quarterbacks this season.


RB


Zamar White - Zamar is not having the season we thought he would have so far, but this Panthers defense is bad. This is a perfect game for Zamar.


Tony Pollard - Pollard is seeing a healthy workload, and is off to a great start. The Packers give up the 7th most points to running backs this season.


Zach Charbonnet - With Kenneth Walker missing another game, Zach should see nearly all of the backfield work.


Derrick Henry - This Cowboys run defense is not very good so far this season. We may see vintage Derrick Henry.


WR


DK Metcalf - Look for DK to build off of his huge game last week. The Seahawks may have to ball a lot in this one.


Marvin Harrison Jr. - Hopefully we can see some production outside of the 1st quarter in this one. This will turn into a track meet quick.


Rashid Shaheed - The Eagles have given up the 3rd most points to wide receivers this season. If he could get behind the defense once, that may be all we need for a big performance.


Jameson Williams - #sickostartoftheweek - The Cardinals are struggling on defense so far this season. Jameson has seen his snap share increase. I think we see some big plays in this one.


TE


Juwan Johnson - With Taysom Hill likely out of this contest, look for increased opportunities for Juwan.


Zach Ertz - Ertz caught a few balls last week. I think his involvement continues in this offense.


Colby Parkinson - The Rams have a lot of pass catchers that are out. Someone has to catch passes .. right? The 49ers are giving up the 4th most points to the tight end position this season.


Jonnu Smith - Smith had a solid game last week, with a backup quarterback coming in, we may see an increased workload for Smith.


K


Cairo Santos - Santos is having a great season so far. The Colts are giving up the 4th most points to kickers, and this one is in a dome.


Daniel Carlson - The Panthers have given up 73 points this season. Carlson should have a lot of opportunities in this one.


Jake Bates - This game has the highest over/under of the week. Jake should have a lot of opportunity here.


Chase McLaughlin - Chase has had several opportunities this season. I think that continues against Denver.


DST


Raiders - This Panthers team is struggling.


Browns - They are playing against Daniel Jones. That is all.


Packers - Will Levis has been mistake prone this season.


Seahawks - Look for Seattle to have a decent game against a backup QB.

Team Stats (Trail Blazers at Pelicans) Final Score: 120-143 Rebounds: 419-57 Assists: 27-36 Blocks: 7-8 Steals: 5-10 Turnovers: 15-8 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Shaedon Sharpe, 21; Trey Murphy III, 24 Rebound Leaders: Kris Murray, 9; Yves Missi, Saddiq Bey, 8 Assist Leaders: Deni Avdija, 6; Derik Queen, 7 My Player of the Game: Derik Queen Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The Pelicans have won their fourth game of the season. Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
