We’re three weeks into fantasy football season and this week’s Thursday night game takes us to Cleveland where we’ll see the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns square off.

This game might not seem like it has a ton of fantasy football implications, but there are a few. Both of these teams are on the rebuilding side of things and the NFL likely put this as a primetime match-up hoping for the off chance that both Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield would be starting. That’d pit two rookie quarterbacks against each other.

As we all know, however, Darnold is the starter in New York, but Mayfield is still strolling the sidelines for now. Tyrod Taylor probably has until midseason before the Browns hand things over to the Oklahoma product.

While this game isn’t going to be the most riveting, there are still a few players fantasy owners should keep an eye on as to who to slot into their starting lineup. Let’s take a look at this week’s edition of Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em for Thursday Night Football.
