Fantasy Football Breakdown - Week 3

Rising Stars

QB: Joe Flacco. I don't like the Cleveland defense at all. I do like the fact that Flacco is playing at home, where he burned the Chiefs for 25 fantasy points in Week 1.

RB: Willis McGehee. Another Raven. See Flacco, Joe.

WR: Andre Johnson. There is no Revis on the Jags to stop him. I think he has a huge day.

TE: Chris Cooley / Brent Celek. Love their matchups this week.

D: Eagles D. Playing the Chiefs who might not have Dwayne Bowe = fantasy heaven.

Sleepers

QB: Kevin Kolb. Playing the Chiefs this week at home. That should be enough, but he had a good week last week if you take away his INTs. I don't think he throws more than 1 this week as the KC defense is not that good. If I didn't have one of the top 7 QBs, I'd start Kolb this week. Aaron Rodgers is another good pick this week.

RB: Ryan Grant. Playing the Rams. Basically if you're playing the Rams or the Chiefs and you're not in the top 10, you're an automatic sleeper.

WR: Greg Jennings. He'll get more than 0 points this week. I guarantee it.

TE: Jason Witten. Currently 11th - I'll guarantee he's in the top 10 after this week.

D: Steelers / Redskins. Solid matchups.

Duds

QB: Byron Leftwich. Technically in the top 10 at number 9. I list him here because I like the Giants D and there really aren't any weaker plays in the top 10 for QBs this week.

RB: Frank Gore. The Minny defense is legit and I think Gore has been playing over his head the last two weeks. Cedric Benson should also have a pretty bad game.

WR: Mario Manningham. A little dinged up and I just don't see him replicating what he did in weeks 1 and 2. He is still the man though.

TE: John Carlson. I don't like Seneca Wallace or the matchup with the Bears this week.

D: Bills. We might as well call this the "top 10 defenses going against New Orleans" every week it happens.
