2011 Fantasy Football: NFL Week 3 Sleepers

Ryan LesterSep 23, 2011

Sometimes you need a fantasy gem to be successful. Here is a list of LestersLegends’ under the radar players that could possibly pull out a win for you in Week 3.

Colt McCoy, QB, Cleveland Browns vs. Miami Dolphins: I won’t go into the Dolphins being the 30th ranked pass defense because we know that Tom Brady skewed that curve. McCoy has thrown 72 passes on the young season with three touchdowns to just one interception. He has shown considerable improvement from Week 1 to Week 2 and should be solid in a winnable game at home.

Dexter McCluster, RB, Kansas City Chiefs @ San Diego Chargers: Thomas Jones was probably the more popular add, but they both will get touches. With the Chiefs likely playing from behind most of the game, McCluster should be active in the passing game.

Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seattle Seahawks vs. Arizona Cardinals: Lynch has just 44 yards in two games on 19 carries (2.3 ypc). He’s playing at home for the first time this year, which works in his favor. He’s also facing a Cardinals team that is 23rd against the run with 123 yards allowed per game.

Jesse Holley, WR, Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins: Holley had three catches last week for 96 yards. He should be active again without Miles Austin.

David Nelson, WR, Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots: Nelson, a popular waiver pick, should get plenty of action this week as Buffalo tries to match wits with New England. Nelson has 14 catches for 149 yards in two games.

Jeff King, Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks: King has scored in both games this year. With all the attention Fitz garners, King should find space to operate.

Arizona Cardinals Defense/Special Teams @ Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks aren’t a very good team. The Cards have already forced three interceptions and multiple picks would not be surprising.
