As Week 3 approaches, fantasy football managers must carefully evaluate their starting lineups. Despite appearances, some players may not deliver expected results this week. The focus is on potential 'landmines' who, despite talent, face challenging matchups.
Derek Carr for the New Orleans Saints is under scrutiny against the Philadelphia Eagles' tough defense. With a limited rushing game, his fantasy output may be disappointing.
Zamir White of the Las Vegas Raiders might tempt managers with a favorable matchup, but his limited usage and competition from Alexander Mattison make him a risky start.
Jaylen Waddle's potential is hampered without Tua Tagovailoa facing the Seattle Seahawks, known for their strong pass defense.
Kyle Pitts must overcome a tough Kansas City Chiefs' defense that limits tight ends. Lastly, Rachaad White’s struggles may result in him playing second fiddle to rookie Bucky Irving, particularly with his underwhelming efficiency.
Week 3 demands strategic decision-making to maximize fantasy potential and avoid pitfalls.
