Fantasy Football Week 3 Start 'Em and Sit 'Em: Zach Charbonnet is the best play on the slate, more starts
Welcome to week 3. Are you still having fun? Do you have enough healthy players on your roster? I hope you don't give up on the season, even if you are 0-2.
Remember, your fantasy team may be a MASH unit right now, you're not alone. With all the stars in the mix, many fantasy managers are dealing with the same problem.
Players like Derek Carr, Carson Steele, Quentin Johnston and Mike Gesicki are all rushing to the waiver wire to grab them as potential starters. Fantasy managers are making some crazy trades. And we're all putting band-aids on our rosters just to get by in some cases.
But that's why we play fantasy football — to manage our roster. That's the fun of being a general manager. You can overcome the odds and keep trying to win.
Hopefully, things will turn around this week, and it will be great if we don't get hurt again. So stay tuned, keep the faith and focus on the prize (is that cliché enough?).
It's a long season, and you can still manage your way to the playoffs and an eventual championship. Go bleeping

With Kenneth Walker III (oblique) out in Week 2 at New England, Charbonnet stepped up for the Seahawks and fantasy managers. And now Charbonnet will do it again in Week 3 against the Dolphins. Against the Patriots, Charbonnet had 14 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown, and he added five catches for 31 yards on five targets. Walker is not expected to play again in Week 3, and this is a great matchup against Miami. The combination of Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby rushed for 24 carries, 117 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Dolphins, along with two catches for 15 yards on three targets. And then James Cook and Ray Davis combined for 20 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns and two catches for 16 yards and a touchdown on two targets in Week 2. I like Charbonnet to return as top-10 in all leagues in Week 3, and he should once again have a dominant performance in place of Walker.

Buccaneers (vs. DEN)
The Broncos have scored one offensive touchdown in two games and Bo Nix has been sacked four times and thrown four interceptions. It should be a good outing for the Buccaneers DST, and Tampa Bay had two interceptions against Jared Goff in Week 2 while holding the Lions to just 16 points.
- Seahawks (vs. MIA)
- Packer (at TEN)
- Bear (in IND)
Eagle (at NO)
In two games against the Panthers and Cowboys, the Saints scored 91 total points and the offensive line gave up just two sacks. New Orleans also has just two turnovers on the season and the Eagles have just three sacks and one interception in two games against the Packers and Falcons, while allowing 51 total points.
