Fantasy Football Week 3 Start 'Em & Sit 'Em: Zach Charbonnet is the best play on the slate, more must-starts
By Jamey Eisenberg,

Welcome to Week 3. Are you having fun yet? Do you have enough healthy players on your roster? I hope you're not giving up on the season, even if you're 0-2.
Remember, while your Fantasy team might be a MASH unit right now, you're not alone. With all the stars banged up, a lot of Fantasy managers are dealing with the same issues.
Everyone is running to the waiver wire to grab players like Derek Carr, Carson Steele, Quentin Johnston and Mike Gesicki as potential starters. Fantasy managers are making some crazy trades. And we're all putting band-aids on our rosters in some cases just to get by.
But this is why we play Fantasy Football -- to manage our roster. This is the fun of being a general manager. You get to overcome adversity and try to keep winning.
Hopefully, things will turn around this week, and it would be great if we don't get ravaged by injuries again. So stay the course, keep the faith and remain focused on the prize (is that enough cliches?).
It's a long season, and you can still manage your way to the playoffs and an eventual championship. Let's bleeping go.
With Kenneth Walker III (oblique) out in Week 2 at New England, Charbonnet stepped up for the Seahawks and Fantasy managers. And now Charbonnet will do it again in Week 3 against the Dolphins. Against the Patriots, Charbonnet had 14 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown, and he added five catches for 31 yards on five targets. Walker isn't expected to play again in Week 3, and this is a great matchup against Miami. The combination of Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby ran over the Dolphins in Week 1 for 24 carries, 117 yards and a touchdown, along with two catches for 15 yards on three targets. And then James Cook and Ray Davis combined for 20 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns and two catches for 16 yards and a touchdown on two targets in Week 2. I like Charbonnet as a top-10 running back in all leagues in Week 3, and he should have a dominant performance in place of Walker once again.
The Broncos have scored one offensive touchdown in two games, and Bo Nix has been sacked four times and has thrown four interceptions. This should be a good outing for the Buccaneers DST, and Tampa Bay had two interceptions in Week 2 against Jared Goff while holding the Lions to just 16 points.
Seahawks (vs. MIA)
Packers (at TEN)
Bears (at IND)
Eagles (at NO)
The Saints have scored 91 total points in two games against the Panthers and Cowboys, and the offensive line has given up only two sacks. New Orleans also has just two turnovers on the season, and the Eagles have just three sacks and one interception in two games against the Packers and Falcons, while allowing 51 total points.
