Along with my ten featured players, here are ten more in this week’s edition of Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em.

START ‘EM

Quarterback – Jimmy Garoppolo vs Chiefs
Running Back – Giovani Bernard vs Panthers
Wide Receiver – Golden Tate vs Patriots
Tight End – Evan Engram vs Texans
Defense/Special Teams – Carolina vs Bengals

SIT ‘EM

Quarterback – Dak Prescott vs Seahawks
Running Back – Jamaal Williams vs Redskins
Wide Receiver – Mike Williams vs Rams
Tight End – Eric Ebron vs Eagles
Defense/Special Teams – New Orleans vs Falcons

It’s a good strategy to start any quarterback playing against the Kansas City Chiefs because that defense is garbage. Jimmy G should definitely be able to expose that secondary and put up solid points this week.

Giovani Bernard is taking over for Joe Mixon this week, which that right there makes him a good option to start in fantasy football. As for Golden Tate, teams have had success passing against the Patriots defense, which makes Tate a good starting option this week.

Evan Engram is one of the better tight ends in the league despite his slowish start, but the Giants are a mess of a team. He’ll be worth starting due to garbage time points though. Lastly, the Panthers defense should do a better job at slowing down Andy Dalton than the previous two Bengals opponents did.

As for the Sit ‘Ems, Dak Prescott isn’t worth starting unless he’s going up against a really bad defense. He’s been disappointing so far this year. At running back, Jamaal Williams hasn’t popped in the way Packer fans and fantasy owners had hoped.

Mike Williams probably won’t make a ton of big plays against a tough Rams defense. Eric Ebron has been good through two games, but he’s sharing snaps with Jack Doyle and will now play an Eagles defense that’s solid against tight ends (for the most part). Lastly, don’t buy into the Saints defense just yet. They played well against the Browns. Need I say more there?

Hopefully these suggestions go better than last weeks bunch! Good luck in week three, everyone!
