As we head into Week 3 of the NFL season, anticipation is building for what promises to be another exciting slate of games.
Week 2 delivered plenty of standout performances, but also some disappointments, which is all part of the unpredictability of fantasy football. Last week, we hit the mark on all five players we advised avoiding, and now we’re back with another list of five players you should steer clear of in your Week 3 starting lineup.
1. Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers
Herbert is currently listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain, which already makes him a risky start. On top of that, he faces a tough Pittsburgh Steelers defense, which has allowed just one touchdown in two games. The Chargers have leaned heavily on their running game so far, so even if Herbert is healthy enough to play, he’s unlikely to put up the kind of numbers fantasy managers are hoping for.
