Fantasy Football Pickups (Week Three)

[JetNation]

Hello Fantasy Football Fans!

Welcome to the 3^rd week of the season!  Each week, I will list the best free agent pickups of the week every Tuesday.   I build this list by looking at the many leagues I am in which range in participation from 10-14 teams so I will try and have pickup for every level.   We had some success last week and if they are still available grab them quick; Tate, Henderson, Meachem, Burleson, F Davis, Fitzpatrick, Simpson, and Decker.  Let’s get to it:

Average Size Leagues

• Cam Newton- Looks to be a wide open pass happy offense, jump aboard.
• Rex Grossman-Pretty shocking but you can do worse for a QB2.
• Dexter McCluster-With his WR eligibility, he is a must have flex guy.
• Delone Carter-Indy will struggle but he looked good filling in for the aging Addai.
• J Gaffney-He seems to be the favorite target of Grossman on the outside.
• Demetrious Moore-A 5^th round sleeper in Oakland, came up big in his opportunity.
• Roy Helu-A good roster stash if Shanahan wears out Hightower who has never had this workload.
• AJ Green-Dalton is not looking like a rookie and with Simpson they make a nice tandem as they should be trailing quite a bit.
• Deion Branch-If he is still out there, and now with Hernandez out should equal more targets.

Deep Leagues

• Keiland Williams-Setup to be the goal line back with the inevitable Best injury coming soon.
• Preston Parker-Looked to be Josh Freeman’s favorite target as Williams was triple covered all game last week.
• Jason Avant-One injury away from 10 targets a game.
• Leroy McClain-Should be the favorite for goal line carries in KC.
• David Nelson-Got the game winning TD in the now high flying Buffalo offense.

Good Luck this week!

My JN team is 2-0, I have both Newton and McCluster on my bench.

I'll admit, I should have started Newton during the past two weeks, but he's only a rookie, I'll give it another 3 or 4 weeks before I start Newton over Sanchez. Newton does have 120 points compared to only 81 from Sanchez, but I love that Sanchez to Holmes connection.

As far as Dexter goes, I wouldn't consider him a must have at flexer. I have both Gronkowski (Patriots TE) and Fred Jackson (Bills RB) as my two flex players. Dexter has put up only 14.24 points thus far through two weeks, Gronk has put up 49.04 and Fred Jackson has put up 39.85 points. I'll continue to let Dexter rot on my bench, until proven otherwise.

I'll tell you what though, Fred Jackson has to be considered as this years fantasy steal of the draft. Landed him during I believe the 10th and 12th rounds, but yet... He's leading all backs in rushing yards this season.
