Another NFL week<\/a> is in the books. The scriptwriters<\/a> are on the horizon for yet another masterful season. There have been some amazing games and some real stinkers. Nonetheless, it\u2019s football and every game has at least one player to watch for fantasy purposes. Good or bad, any game is watchable as long as you have a player starting on your fantasy team. <\/span>As the season blossoms, there are some weeds to pull, and then some seeds to add to your garden. Picking the right batch makes all the difference in a championship run or watching the fantasy playoffs from the couch. Make sure you buy and sell the right players to get ready for the crunch time of fantasy football.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantasy Football Week 3 Buy and Sell Targets<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Players to Buy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Josh Jacobs (RB: Las Vegas Raiders)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Back-to-back disappointing weeks from Josh Jacobs<\/a> scoring a combined 19 total points to start the season. Fortunately for Jacobs, he\u2019s one of the best players on the team and will remain heavily involved. He\u2019s got a firm grip on the running back touches and is even third in target share. The schedule opens up the next several games with some less-than-average run defenses, so Jacobs should get back to his 2022 form. Jacobs was likely a high fantasy draft pick and the owner could be frustrated with double duds. Trade for Josh Jacobs today.<\/span><\/p>\n

AJ Brown (WR: Philadelphia Eagles)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many fantasy football managers were just as frustrated as A.J. Brown<\/a> last Thursday night. Only six targets in the game are simply not enough for one of the league’s best. The top three options for the Philadelphia Eagles’ passing attack all command a high target share and, barring an injury, that won\u2019t change. The Eagles offense is among the top scoring teams in the league and the points will come plenty. Last season, Brown had three games under 10 fantasy points, so take advantage. This could be the last time A.J. Brown\u2019s value is on the low side, try to swoop<\/a> him up where you can.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sam LaPorta (TE: Detroit Lions)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Normally rookie tight ends take time to develop and aren\u2019t a factor in their rookie seasons, but Sam LaPorta<\/a> has been a quick learner and has produced immediately. There are only two players on the team with double-digit receptions and over 100 yards receiving: Amon-Ra St. Brown<\/a> and Sam LaPorta. It\u2019s encouraging to see the young prospect involved so early in the season and his volume should only increase as the campaign continues. There isn\u2019t much to be excited about at the tight end position, but the promising rookie is an inspiring talent. Try to obtain the rookie before his \u201cbreak-out\u201d game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some key Sam LaPorta usage numbers:<\/p>\n

Week One
\ud83d\udd38Pass Block % – 15.6%
\ud83d\udd38WR Snap % – 32.8%<\/p>\n

Week Two
\ud83d\udd38Pass Block % – 8.8%
\ud83d\udd38WR Snap % – 53.7%<\/p>\n

We are moving in the right direction folks!<\/p>\n
