Start or Sit These Players on Monday Night to Win Week 3 Fantasy
The first two Monday Night matchups have been good for fantasy scoring. In Week 1, the Ravens and Raiders overtime thriller produced some high scores, and last Week in Green Bay, Aaron Jones went off for over 40 PPR points. Week 3 looks like another potentially high scoring game with plenty of relevant fantasy assets on each team
Hopefully you entered Week 3 looking to go 3-0, but rest assured, if you are 0-2 and looking to get your first win this week, all is good. The fantasy season goes quickly, but it is a marathon not a sprint. Fantasy football is a four month journey that hopefully concludes in a fantasy championship. I will be with you every step of the way with recommendations on who to start and who to sit for every Monday Night Football matchup.
With out further ado, let’s make the moves required to wrap up your Week 3 victory.
Quarterback
Start or Sit These Players on Monday Night to Win Week 3 Fantasy
Jalen Hurts – Philadelphia Eagles – Start
Jalen Hurts was my start of the week in Week 1 and he delivered, finishing with 28.76 points. I had Hurts as a start again last week and he struggled against San Francisco throwing the ball. He was 12-of-23 passing for 190 yards and no touchdowns.
The good news is he made up for it with his legs. Hurts had 10 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown, and in his two weeks combined he has 17 carries for 144 yards and 1 TD. After two weeks, Jalen Hurts is averaging over 25 points a game and is the QB6 overall.
Dallas has been good against the QB thus far this season, holding the opposing signal caller to 20.2 points a game. It is important to note that the Cowboys have yet to face a mobile QB. Tom Brady and Justin Herbert combined for 4 carries and 12 yards. Jalen Hurts had 19 fantasy points against Dallas last season (69 rushing yards), and I expect him to be even better on Monday night. I have Hurts ranked 5th this week and he is a must start for me.
Dak Prescott – Dallas Cowboys – Start
After the Week 1 performance in Tampa Bay (42/58, 403 yards, 3 TDs), it appeared that Dak Prescott picked up right where he left off after suffering a season ending ankle injury in 2020. After Week 2 versus Los Angeles, I now have some doubts.
I am not looking for Dak to throw the ball 60 times a week, but I am looking for more from him on the ground. Prescott has never been a Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray running the football, but he was a QB that I would have considered mobile. Entering this season, Prescott has a 16 game pace of 60 carries for 305 yards and 6 scores. Through two weeks this season, that 16 game pace is sitting at 32 carries for 104 yards and no scores.
Dak is still in my top-12 this week, he is just closer to the back (10th) than the front. The Eagles have played well as a defense and held Matt Ryan to 7.36 points and Jimmy Garoppolo to 19.56 in their two outings this season. With all the weapons surrounding Dak, he is near impossible to sit. Start Dak this week and hope he attempts more than the 27 passes he attempted in Los Angeles in Week 2.
