As the fantasy football season nears Week 3, managers face tough decisions regarding lineup adjustments. Players like Justin Herbert, Joe Mixon, and the Green Bay Packers' wide receivers may warrant a benching due to injuries and challenging matchups.

Herbert risks limited fantasy points against a strong Steelers defense while playing through an ankle injury. Conversely, Derek Carr of the New Orleans Saints demonstrates promise against a struggling Eagles defense.

Mixon's ankle injury makes him a potential sit against the Vikings, while Zach Charbonnet from the Seattle Seahawks is poised for more touches.

The Packers' wide receivers also face uncertainty as their quarterback's performance affects their viability in lineups. Meanwhile, Diontae Johnson of the Carolina Panthers appears to be a safer fantasy option with Andy Dalton at the helm.
