Fantasy Football Week 3 Free Agent Frenzy

We are now in week 3 and if your team was part of the carnage last week, at least there are a ton of options out there.   If this is a view for the upcoming year, the only way to win your league is staying active every single week. Some guys I listed last week that if still available should be grabbes;  Steve Smith, Chris Ivory, Larry Donnell, Ahmad Bradshaw and Brian Quick.   Here are my week 3 pickups in order of preference;

  • Knile Davis
    – Charles has a high ankle sprain which takes time,  Reid has said he will use Davis the same,  he is a top 10 Rb in the weeks he plays.
  • Donald Brown –  With Mathews out for at least 4 weeks he should get at least half the work and proved to be very capable with the Colts in a similar role.
  • Khriry Robinson –  This is a job share but Ingram was getting all the goal line carries and Robinson has proved capable in the previous year.
  • Matt Asiata –  He is a plodder but with all the uncertainty with Peterson, he is a must grab if you ave not done so last week.
  • Darren McFadden –  He looked pretty awful but is all the Raiders have and plays 3rd down,  if you got crushed not a bad flex option.
  • James Stewart –  He also did not look great but had 15 carries and a TD, have to grab a Rb1 if available.
  • Isiah Crowell –  This may be a grab and stash but they seemed to like him and if you have room, good guy to speculate on.
  • Greg Jennings –  He had a tough week but if the Vikings make a QB change his value could come back.
  • James Jones –  He has been a top 10 WR which will not hold up but the Raiders will be trailing and garbage points count the same as normal ones.
  • Niles Paul –  He hit the ground running last week and as long as Reed is out he is a TE1.
  • Kirk Cousins –  This looks like the perfect offense for his skill set and with their weapons, a great QB 2 as long as RG3 is out.
  • Miles Austin  _ He is purely a bye week pick up but those are starting next week.
  • Jeremy Kerley –  He becomes the Jets WR1 with the Decker injury
Its a rough week for streaming defenses but I will go with the Bills and the Bears.
