Chances are, you won’t want to use a high waiver claim on a tight end, as there aren’t many inspiring options, but with so many owners likely looking for a new starter, you might have to make a move just to reserve the best of the worst. WEEK 3 RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker A few running backs and wide receivers had intriguing performances in Week 2, though a few garbage-time opportunists will make it tough to discern between the finds and the frauds....

It’s a tough world out there for fantasy owners and their TEs this year, and this week could spell trouble, too. Touchdowns seem to stay the name of the game for most TEs, and we can only hope the backups and low-owned players don’t steal all the scores this week. Some tight ends might have a change in rankings, like Delanie Walker if Marcus Mariota (hamstring) misses this week, and some of the top TEs, like Zach Ertz and Rob Gronkowski, are facing top defenses against TEs (although we expect they’ll still get their normal share of points), but it’s something to watch out for....

Because there are only two teams on bye next week (Vikings, Buccaneers), there won’t be a big rush to the waiver wire for fill-ins, but there are still plenty of potential replacements (though many are better suited as free agent additions as opposed to guys worth a waiver claim). Along with the players already mentioned, there are several RB handcuffs (always be looking for depth) and potential WR3s on our list this week, plus a few QBs, a couple TE pickups, and even a D/ST to consider going forward....

The Cardinals and Chiefs (Week 12), Panthers, Browns, Packers, and Titans (Week 13), and Colts Dolphins, Patriots, and Eagles (Week 14) still have byes to go, but everyone else has taken their mandatory week off. If you’re fighting for a playoff spot, you probably want to avoid targeting players from those teams. If your playoff spot is all but secured, you might be able to get extra value on those players....

Over at BigGuyFantasySports.com, I’ve created a “Clutch Rating” that aims to calculate a player’s “Clutch Factor” (level of consistency). How many teams are in your league what type of scoring format are some of the factors that go into the rating. For wide receivers in a 12-team PPR format, a wide receiver must earn over 10 fantasy points each week to earn a “Clutch Game”. As with every position, looking at my numbers helps us spot a few potential undervalued and overvalued players at wide receiver....

But is there a receiver who might be able to keep up with Megatron this week? Two of our Fantasy Source experts like DeSean Jackson, who has racked up 16 catches for 297 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' warp-speed offense. He'll match up with Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers on Thursday night, but we like D-Jax to get loose a few times and show off in prime time. The three remaining experts offer a trio of receivers who could also be fantasy studs in Week 3, including another wideout involved in the Thursday night game....

As you’ll see, I made plenty of questionable decisions in this mock draft. Recently, I participated in a 15-round mock set up by Walter Cherepinsky of WalterFootball.com. The 12-team standard draft gave me an opportunity to test our top-200 PPR rankings and figure out how standard drafters are differing from PPR drafters this year.

Ellington struggled in his first crack at lead-back duties, yet here we are talking him up as a sleeper again. This time though, the term appears to be a better fit as unimpressed and spiteful fantasy owners are likely to shy away from the diminutive runner. FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT PREP: More fantasy sleepers | NFL rookie rankings However, without another major back, aside from rookie David Johnson, added to the Cardinals’ roster, Ellington is expected to head into the season as the lead guy once again, providing forgiving fantasy owners with a shot at some profit....

I hope you get Drew Stanton-level ecstasy from mastering the byes with aggressive waiver wire pickups in Week 11. (The kick at the end takes this from great to GOAT.)

Spiller, Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen, Orleans Darkwa, Andre Williams, Duke Johnson, Isaiah Crowell Maybe Jim Caldwell will let Joique Bell run for 17 yards on 14 carries til the end of 2015, but Theo Riddick and Ameer Abdullah seem logically headed for more touches against the Raiders....

First- and second-year players are always going to get the most attention if they do anything in Week 1. If you drafted a boring veteran late, you’re probably better off dropping him for a rookie. The veteran likely won’t get picked up (even if he has a decent game), but any rookie who gets a notable workload will seem like he has an unlimited ceiling and be very popular on the wire....

The NFL really did a number on us with by having Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, and Drew Brees (and Trevor Siemian) all sitting the same week, then having the 49ers play the Colts and the Jets play the Browns. That basically takes away five plus matchups (counting the Saints) from which we could find sleepers. Instead, we have some good-but-not-great QBs in mediocre-to-bad matchups in our top 12 (Cam Newton @ Lions, Ben Roethlisberger vs....
