Justin Boone recommends Jared Goff, Chuba Hubbard and Dalton Schultz as Week 3 fantasy starts, while advising managers to bench Bo Nix, Patriots backs TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson, and Bears tight end Colston Loveland.
Boone cites Goff's four-touchdown outing against Buffalo and Detroit's 27-point implied total. Hubbard has 151 scrimmage yards, five catches and three touchdowns through two games, and Jonathon Brooks is on injured reserve for at least six weeks. Bateman had nine targets last week, turning them into seven catches, 88 yards and a touchdown, with Zay Flowers trending toward another absence. Schultz caught 12 of 14 targets for 140 yards in Week 2 as Nico Collins is likely to miss another game.
Boone points to Nix's QB31 and QB18 finishes and the Rams matchup as reasons to sit him. Henderson and Stevenson are likely to split work against a Jaguars defense that has held each opposing back below 40 rushing yards. He also downgrades Diggs and McLaurin with Marcus Mariota under center against Seattle, which has allowed the fewest fantasy points to receivers. Loveland has one catch for three yards in two games and faces an Eagles defense allowing the second-fewest points to tight ends.
