Fantasy Football Week 3 Start 'Em & Sit 'Em Wide Receivers: Start George Pickens now, plus more sleepers

Pickens had a tough matchup in Week 2 at Denver with cornerback Patrick Surtain, and he finished with two catches for 29 yards on four targets. In Week 1, Pickens had six catches for 85 yards on seven targets against Atlanta, and I'm expecting a similar stat line -- if not better -- in Week 3 against the Chargers. Pickens is worth starting as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

It's fun watching Williams have his third-year breakout campaign in front of our eyes. Through two games against the Rams and Buccaneers, Williams has 20 targets for 10 catches, 200 yards and a touchdown, and he's scored at least 14.4 PPR points in each outing. Williams should be considered a solid No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in Week 3, and he could see a boost in value with Amon-Ra St. Brown (leg) potentially limited if he's less than 100 percent.

Flowers is off to a solid start this season with 21 targets in two games against Kansas City and Las Vegas, and he has 13 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown over that span while averaging 16.6 PPR points per game. This game has the potential to be a shootout with a projected score of 48.5, and Flowers would be in a great spot if the Ravens are chasing points and struggling to run the ball. I like Flowers as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

Keenan Allen (heel) was out in Week 2 at Houston, and he missed practice Wednesday leading up to Week 3 at the Colts. That should be a boost for Moore, and this matchup against Indianapolis is his best one to date after playing the Titans and Texans in the first two weeks of the season. Moore has 18 targets in two games, but he's only managed 11 catches for 89 yards and is averaging just 10.7 PPR points per game. The Colts are No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Moore should finally deliver as a No. 2 Fantasy option in all leagues in Week 3.

It's time to start Shaheed as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues. He's been impressive in two games against Carolina and Dallas with seven catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets, and he's averaging 18.6 PPR points per game. I'm hopeful that Chris Olave starts playing at a higher level as well, but clearly Klint Kubiak's offense has been great for New Orleans, especially Shaheed. This week, the Saints are facing an Eagles defense that has allowed two opposing receivers to score touchdowns in each of their first two games, so hopefully Shaheed and Olave can each find the end zone in this matchup.

Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) getting hurt is awful news for Waddle. He's played eight games in his career without Tagovailoa, and Waddle has 42 catches for 453 yards over that span with no touchdowns. That's an average of 5.3 catches and 56.6 yards per game. While Tyreek Hill remains a must-start Fantasy receiver -- he has 25 catches for 302 yards and a rushing touchdown in four games without Tagovailoa -- Waddle is tougher to trust. I would only start Waddle in three-receiver leagues in Week 3 at Seattle with Skylar Thompson under center.

Pittman has 15 targets in two games against Houston and Green Bay, but he only has seven catches for 52 yards and no touchdowns over that span. He's been outplayed by Alec Pierce, and Josh Downs (ankle) could return this week for the Colts to further complicate things for Pittman. The Bears secondary has been great so far this season in holding Calvin Ridley, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell to 8.0 PPR points or less, and Pittman is only worth starting as a No. 3 PPR receiver in Week 3.

Johnston is worth adding in the majority of leagues after his performance in Week 2 at Carolina with five catches for 51 yards and two touchdowns on six targets, but you don't have to start him in Week 3 at Pittsburgh. The Steelers have yet to allow a receiver to score a touchdown this season and have held Drake London and Courtland Sutton to a combined three catches for 41 yards on seven targets. Stash Johnston on your bench, and hopefully he'll continue to remain a go-to target for Justin Herbert so you can use Johnston as a reliable Fantasy option later in the year.

We keep waiting for Kirk to become a factor for the Jaguars and Fantasy managers, but he's basically been invisible for the first two games of the season against Miami and Cleveland. Kirk has seven targets combined in those two games for two catches, 29 yards and no touchdowns. Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis are outplaying Kirk, and he didn't get any boost in Week 2 against the Browns with Evan Engram (hamstring) out. Buffalo's secondary has held Marvin Harrison Jr., Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to a combined eight catches for 69 yards and no touchdowns on 13 targets in two games, and this could be another poor outing for Kirk in Week 3.

Sutton is one of 18 receivers this season with at least 16 targets, but he's been a miserable Fantasy option despite all of those chances. In two games against Seattle and Pittsburgh, Sutton has combined for five catches for 64 yards and no touchdowns, and he's not worth trusting in most leagues in Week 3 at Tampa Bay. Bo Nix is going to have to look better throwing to Sutton before Fantasy managers can rely on starting him in most leagues.

It's tough to sit Evans in the majority of leagues, but this could be a rough week for him against the Broncos and cornerback Patrick Surtain. So far this season, Surtain has helped limit DK Metcalf and George Pickens to a combined five catches for 58 yards and no touchdowns on eight targets. Evans is coming off a down game in Week 2 at Detroit with three catches for 42 yards and no touchdowns on six targets, and he could have another poor performance in Week 3 given the expected matchup with Surtain.
