Week 3 Fantasy Football Start Em Sit Em: 3 Quarterbacks Who'll Disappoint

With the 2011 NFL season already into its third week, the fantasy season is already at full tilt and running at a million miles an hour.

The bye week season is on the horizon, and winning as many of the games as you can with the full roster is essential to making it through the middle of the fantasy season and positioning yourself for a playoff push.

Every game’s importance has been magnified by the pace of the season, and while these quarterbacks are intriguing as possible plays, stay clear from them and play it safe with another quarterback.

Cam Newton—The Carolina Panthers have looked terrible through the first two weeks, but the one silver lining has been the play of rookie Cam Newton.

While his numbers are staggering, there is no way that he can accomplish that feat again this week, so don’t waste a start when you have another quarterback who is much more of a lock for solid points.

Ryan Fitzpatrick—If there were any time for the New England Patriots defense to show up big, it would be in Buffalo against the Bills and their Harvard quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The Bills have looked amazing offensively in the first two weeks of the season, but with the Patriots offense running on all cylinders, New England will concentrate on the Bills pass game and shut it down.

Mark Sanchez—I would never start the New York jets quarterback in my fantasy league, and the only people who take Sanchez as their fantasy team’s No. 1 quarterback are either Jets fans or people who left their draft on autopick.

With a matchup against an Oakland Raiders secondary that is surprisingly good despite the loss of Pro-Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, Sanchez will be in for a long day.
