Week 3 Fantasy Pick Ups


  • Travis Benjamin, WR, Cleveland Browns (He only has 6 catches on the season, but 3 are for touchdowns and he clearly has a nice re pore with Johnny Manziel.  He's also (as seen Sunday) a threat in the return game.  His TDs will dry up, but he's a big play guy who could serve as a Flex play or a Bye week fill-in.)
  • Matt Jones, RB, Washington Redskins (19 carries, 123 yards, 2 touchdowns.  Nice little Sunday.  Jones finished with 1 more carry than Alfred Morris.  I don't think he's overtaken him yet, but that could happen soon.  Bad news for Morris owners.)
  • Michael Crabtree, WR, Oakland Raiders (I have a hard time trusting Crabtree, but 9 receptions for 111 yards and a score is strong to quite strong.  On top of that he had 16 targets, which was 5 more than Amari Cooper, who should get the attention of Joe Haden next week and top corners throughout the season.  Derek Carr isn't horrible, so Crabtree may have some value after all.)
  • Devonta Freeman, RB, Atlanta Falcons (Sounds like rookie Tevin Coleman may miss time with a rib injury, Freeman isn't great, but for a couple weeks could see an increased workload and maybe fall in the endzone.)
  • James Starks, RB, Green Bay Packers (Eddie Lacy sprained his ankle paving the way for a lot of James Starks on Sunday.  Packers play next Monday, giving Lacy another day to recover.  Lacy owners need to add Starks and even those who are looking for a back should do so, if even only for 1 weeks worth of help.)
