NFL Week 3 Panthers & Thursday Night Football fantasy football start

I didn’t do too bad in my advice last week. A.J. Green did have a nice game vs the Ravens. All of my must starts put up at least double digits. Falcons running back Tevin Coleman was a good sleeper. The Panthers did a nice job on Julio Jones though Womens Torrey Smith Jersey , holding him to 64 yards receiving. Browns vs JetsThere aren’t many sure fire players in this game. In fact I would say try not to start anyone from this game. The only player I would say start is wide receiver Jarvis Landry provided he’s not a late scratch as his injury status is ‘Questionable’. But if he is active you should probably start him. Must StartsWR Jarvis LandryStart Em if you have toRB Bilal PowellRB Isiah CrowellWR Quincy EnunwaI really don’t like any of these players but it seems someone has to score some points. Sleeper PicksCleveland DSTThis defense can get after the quarterback and they are good at turning the ball over. Combine that with facing a rookie quarterback and it bodes well. I think the Cleveland defense is a good option this week and might be a good pick up for later in the season as a streaming option. TE David NjokuI think this could be the week Njoku shows the potential we saw in the preseason. Panthers vs BengalsI’m feeling a high scoring game in this one with plenty of players to put in your line up. Feel free to include all of the starter quality players in this one.WR A.J. Green QB Andy DaltonQB Cam NewtonRB Christian McCaffreyRB Giovanni BernardThis week I’m taking wide receiver Devin Funchess off the list and adding running back Giovanni Bernard. Funchess is not getting the targets needed at this point and his propensity to drop a key ball every game is disheartening. With Joe Mixon most likely out Bernard becomes a must start. Also seems he torched the Panthers a few seasons back. Start Em if you have to:K Graham GanoGano could have a big game if the Panther defense stalls in the red zone. Sleeper PicksWR Tyler BoydI said last week Bengals wide receiver John Ross could be a sleeper. I picked the wrong Bengals wide receiver. Boyd is actually looking worthy of a start. Both he and A.J. Green could put up double digits.WR D.J. MoorePanthers head coach Ron Rivera liked what he saw from Moore last week and hinted he may get more targets. That would bode well for a player who can take a short pass for a long gain. Plus he has the best hands of the wide receiver corps. The Panthers would be crazy not to get him more touches. Panthers coach Ron Rivera wanted a little something more from his offense, which is why he turned to his old boss Norv Turner as the team's new coordinator this season.Rivera, who once coached under Turner in San Diego, said he got exactly what he was hoping for Sunday.Cam Newton threw for two touchdowns and ran for two others , Christian McCaffrey racked up a career-high 184 yards rushing and Carolina handed the Cincinnati Bengals their first loss of the season 31-21 behind a well-balanced offensive attack."We want to impose our will," said Newton, who praised Turner's play calling. "We are a team that can attack a defense in many different ways. As the game progresses I see the body language of defenders and they are wearing down."Newton completed 15 of 24 passes for 150 yards and ran for 36 yards as the Panthers (2-1) won their seventh straight home game going back to last season.McCaffrey, who tied a franchise record with 14 receptions last week against Atlanta Authentic Cam Newton Jersey , did his damage on the ground this time. He surpassed his previous career high of 66 yards rushing and became the first player in franchise history to post a 100-yard receiving game and a 100-yard rushing game in back-to-back weeks.Newton believes McCaffrey's 28-carry outing will dispel myths he's just a scat back."He's a total running back," Newton said. "... This is not a fluke. He has been doing this his entire career, collegiately and professionally. The fact that we have a special talent, you can't really gear in using packages for him."McCaffrey said the labels "definitely" bother him, but has learned to deal with them."The more and more I go through this league I learn that it's never been about proving anyone wrong or proving anybody right," McCaffrey said. "It's proving myself right, and that's the biggest thing that I've had to mentally take over as I continue to grow."When the Panthers weren't running McCaffrey, they used him as a decoy.On one Turner play call Authentic DJ Moore Jersey , Newton sold a fake pass to McCaffrey and came back to the other side of the field to hit backup running back C.J. Anderson for a 24-yard touchdown on a screen play. The Panthers call it their Pony 21 set, which features McCaffrey and Anderson, a 1,000-yard rusher last season with Denver, in the backfield."This is a different style of offense, the way they attack," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "We have to adjust and morph and play in it and make sure we stay sound in it. You have to be good for the whole ballgame. There were times we were perfect and times we were not."GREEN DAYBengals wide receiver A.J. Green, who had three touchdowns last week against the Ravens Authentic James Bradberry Jersey , left on the third play in the third quarter with a groin injury when he was hit while trying to make a catch over the middle. He did not return.Green said after the game he was starting to feel better and expects to play next week against Atlanta."At first, I thought I'd just knocked the air out of myself and just needed to catch my breath," Green said. "When I got up and running, I was pretty sore."YOU GOTTA OBADAEfe Obada, the first player to make a 53-man roster from the recently formed NFL International Pathways Program, turned in a huge game in his first NFL appearance, getting an interception, a key fourth-quarter sack and two quarterback pressures on Dalton. One of his pressures was initially ruled sack-fumble in the second quarter Womens David Mayo Jersey , but later overturned by instant replay to an incomplete pass.DALTON'S DAYAndy Dalton was 29 of 46 with two touchdowns, but was intercepted four times, including twice by rookie cornerback Donte Jackson. Carolina's defense, which allowed 432 yards and 31 points to the Falcons last week, held the Bengals (2-1) to 66 yards rushing without Joe Mixon in the lineup.ON THE FUMBLENewton took a lot of heat for not jumping on a loose football in a Super Bowl 50 loss to the Denver Broncos, so he wasn't going to risk losing another in the fourth quarter with the Panthers clinging to a 28-21 lead. After a strip sack, Newton beat three Bengals players to the ball to maintain possession."Come hell or high water I was going to get that fumble, how about that?" Newton said. "I'm just trying to create good habits."BOYD STEPS UPTyler Boyd had a big game for the Bengals with six catches for 132 yards and a touchdown. Gio Bernard had 61 yards rushing on 12 carries and a touchdown Authentic Kawann Short Jersey , and five catches for 25 yards filling in for the injured Mixon.INJURIES:Bengals: Nose tackle Ryan Glasgow was carted off the field in the fourth quarter with a lower right leg injury and did not return.Panthers: Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly left in the fourth quarter with dehydration but received an IV in the locker room and returned to make an interception on a "Hail Mary" on the game's final play.UP NEXT:Bengals: Visit the Falcons next Sunday.Panthers: Have a bye next week, then host the Giants on Oct. 7.
