Fantasy football 2017: Week 3 starts, sits, pickups and drops
Tight end
Start: Jack Doyle (vs. Cleveland Browns, 41%)
If there is one player I’m starting in the Indianapolis Colts-Cleveland Browns game this week, it’s Doyle. He’s getting the targets in the Colts’ offense right now and is going up against a Cleveland team that has given up two-straight 20-plus point games to tight ends.
Sit: Jimmy Graham (at Tennesee Titans, 84.1%)
Graham is still not producing in Seattle. He caught one pass for one yard last week against the San Francisco 49ers and he’s banged up going into week three. If he keeps putting up low numbers, he’ll be droppable very soon.
Pickup: No one
This is not looking like a good week from streaming tight ends. The guys who aren’t on rosters are either not getting many targets or might lose targets to someone else. It’s too boom or bust to try to pick a starter from this group. If you absolutely must pick someone up, Eric Ebron, Austin Hooper and Evan Ingram seem like the best bets to score a touchdown in week three.
Drop: Hunter Henry (66.8%)
Tight ends in timeshares are not worth starting. Antonio Gates is still getting a ton of targets and because of that, Henry is just not going to be consistent yet despite his excellent game last week.
