for week three of NFL action QuarterbackRyan Fitzpatrick Allen Hurns Jersey , owned in 23% of Yahoo leaguesRide the hot hand again until it turns super cold. Fitzy is on fire as he passed for four touchdowns and over 400 yards on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles mind you! This week he gets the Steelers defense that is giving up the sixth-most points to quarterbacks. Fitzy is your man, never forget that.Andy Dalton, owned in 27% of Yahoo leaguesHere¡¯s another guy who lit up a good defense, the Ravens, but Dalton shredded them for four touchdowns and 265 yards. He gets a tough Carolina Panthers defense this week but that Carolina secondary can be thrown on. A.J. Green is back which means so is the ¡°Red Rifle¡±.Running BackCorey Clement, owned in 22% of Yahoo leaguesClement is another hot hand to ride for week three, he was a holdover from last week and scored 17 points against the Buccaneers. With Carson Wentz back in the fold, he may even see more targets, plus he¡¯s good for one touchdown a game.Austin Ekeler, owned in 44% of Yahoo leaguesHe¡¯s been a lifesaver for folks dealing with guys like Mark Ingram on suspension. Go pick him up while you still can as he¡¯s outperformed projections in each of the last two weeks. Ekeler also has a very favorable matchup with a Rams team that¡¯s giving up the ninth-most points to running backs.Wide ReceiverGeronimo Allison, owned in 31% of Yahoo leaguesHe¡¯s outperformed his projections in the last two weeks as well which is a product of being in an Aaron Rodgers offense. Allison caught all six targets in week two against a great Vikings secondary. This week, it¡¯ll be tough again with the Redskins, on the road no less, but he¡¯s got the best quarterback in football. Give him a chance.Phillip Dorsett, owned in 24% of Yahoo leaguesThe Patriots had a tough beatdown at the hands of the Jaguars but this week they should be happy to know they play the Lions. Bill Belichick loves to battle his proteges and he¡¯ll get to face off with Matt Patricia. The Lions have struggled to contain or stop anything and have given up the ninth most points to receivers. Dorsett has the speed to really hurt the back end of Detroit¡¯s defense. Tight EndCharles Clay, owned in 22% of Yahoo leaguesWhen facing a great defense like the Vikings, just take what they give you. One area that has been trouble for the Vikings defense is dealing with tight ends. Clay is a good bet this week against a Viking defense that gives up the eighth-most points to the position.Jesse James, owned in 10% of Yahoo leaguesHe has outperformed his projections in each of the last two weeks and gets a divisional matchup with the Ravens. Though the Ravens are middle of the pack in terms of covering tight ends, James catches everything thrown his way and will score you a touchdown on average. That¡¯s more than you can say with most tight ends.DefenseDallas Cowboys, owned in 14% of Yahoo leaguesGive the home team a shot because their defense is legit. Though they barely outplayed the projections in week one, they bounced back in a big way on Sunday Night Football against the Giants. They had six sacks Authentic Deonte Thompson Jersey , allowed only 13 points, and recovered a fumble. Guess what? They get the Seahawks up next with a banged up offensive line and receiving corps.KickerGraham Gano, owned in 19% of Yahoo leaguesAre you like most NFL teams and need a kicker? Gano is your guy with a matchup against the Bengals, who give up the third-most points to kickers.Cowboys vs. Giants: Five things to watch including DeMarcus Lawrence going sack-a-delic on Eli Manning The Dallas Cowboys will be looking to avoid an 0-2 start as they host the New York Giants on Sunday night. After a stagnant offensive performance in the 16-8 loss in Week 1, the team will look to get the season going against a divisional rival. Not only are NFC East games important for divisional record purposes, the Cowboys find this game even more important as they do not want to put themselves in a hole early in the season. After being swept by the Giants in 2016, the Cowboys returned the favor by winning both contests last year. Who will strike first blood this year? Here are five things to keep an eye out for on Sunday night.1. Wreck FlowersDeMarcus Lawrence had a breakout season last year with 14.5 sacks. This included sacks in each of his first seven games of the season. It also included 5.5 sacks in just his first three games. And he kicked things off last year with a great season debut against the Giants.Last year, it was right tackle Bobby Hart who Tank was abusing, but thanks to the free agent acquisition of left tackle Nate Solder, the Giants can now move 2015 first-round bust Ereck Flowers over to the right side. That¡¯s great news for the Eli Manning¡¯s blind spot, but it¡¯s bad news for the Giants any time Flowers has to go up against a tough matchup. Sunday night will be one of those times.How will Giants head coach Pat Shurmur scheme to stop Lawrence from running all over Flowers?Well, that may be good in theory and all, but we¡¯re not buying that. In fact, Shurmur gave Flowers plenty of help last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Look for the Giants to use blocking tight end Rhett Ellison to give Flowers some help on the edge.Lawrence has to be salivating at the mouth and the All-Pro defensive end must dominate this matchup. Manning gets the ball out in a hurry and he also likes to roll out to his right to buy himself some extra time so it could be a race. And who wins could be the difference between a Eli pick-six or Odell Beckham Jr. sprinting down the sidelines for a touchdown.2. Big-play BarkleyWhen the Giants selected Saquon Barkley with the number two overall pick in the draft, division rivals cringed. He was the top player on many boards and the idea of having to deal with such a talented running for the next several years was very unsettling. But for Barkley to be effective, he¡¯s going to need his blockers up front to do their job and let¡¯s face it - the Giants offensive line isn¡¯t very good. Don¡¯t get me wrong, they¡¯ve made some improvements to their offensive line with the addition of Solder and second-round pick Will Hernandez, but it is still a weak spot on their team. Against the Jags, Barkley was kept in check for most of the game as he racked up several small gains runs, but he¡¯s persistent and eventually he¡¯ll fight his way into space.Here is one of them.Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli had this to say about the Giants new playmaking running back:In order to contain Barkley, the Cowboys defense is going to have to keep him from building up steam and wrap him up when they have the chance. Sean Lee is going to have to do a much better job tackling than he did last Sunday against the Panthers.3. Feed Zeke Youth Chidobe Awuzie Jersey , but avoid SnacksThe Cowboys must get their running game going this week. Ezekiel Elliott only had 69 yards rushing on Sunday which was his third-lowest rushing total of his young career. The Cowboys have lost all three of those games.And there is no secret that the Giants will be focusing on not letting Elliott beat them. All-Pro linebacker Landon Collins gave us his two cents on the matter:While Collins will have his target set on Zeke, the Cowboys will need to get past the line of scrimmage first and that means stopping nose tackle Damon Harrison from disrupting the middle. Rookie Connor Williams had a heckuva day fending off Panther Kawaan Short, but it¡¯s not going to get any easier against Harrison.The Cowboys are going to have to do a better job blocking up front and getting Zeke into space. If Dallas cannot get the running game going, it¡¯s going to put extra pressure on Dak Prescott.Speaking of which...4. Get Dak back on trackThere¡¯s no way to sugarcoat it - Prescott didn¡¯t play well against the Panthers. Whether it was making bad reads or misfiring on throws, the Cowboys young quarterback really struggled in the season-opener. Yes, that¡¯s disappointing. And yes, that¡¯s alarming considering the quarterback is such an important position. But as Bobby Belt points out, he¡¯s put a lot of good on tape to start freaking out just yet. Prescott needs to have a better game - no doubt about that. But let¡¯s not act like he doesn¡¯t have it in him. It¡¯s going to be a season-long exercise to develop good chemistry with his new receivers, but don¡¯t be surprised if Prescott has a strong rebound game against the Giants.And while Dak¡¯s arm needs to deliver on Sunday, I wouldn¡¯t mind seeing him use his legs a little more. I mean, if Blake ¡°Wheels O¡¯Toole¡± Bortles can flip the field against the Giants, I¡¯m sure Prescott can get some chunks.5. Stop Sterling on the money downsWhile all the attention is on the Giants big offensive playmakers in Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquan Barkley, they have another guy the Cowboys need to pay attention to. The Giants selected Sterling Shepard in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He had a strong rookie season with 65 catches, 683 yards, and eight touchdowns. While he didn¡¯t blow up last year after OBJ went down, he still had a solid 59 catches for 731 yards.With Beckham Jr. getting the bulk of the targets, Shepard is really great out of the slot and will be a tough matchup for Anthony Brown. If the Cowboys defense win on early downs only to give up a third-down conversion by giving Shepard too much space, it¡¯s going to give the Giants extra chances to find points. Getting pressure on Eli will help in the grand scheme of things, but it¡¯s extremely hard to do when Manning is getting rid of the ball in a hurry. Eli loves to run a fake hand-off out of the shotgun and then fire the ball to the quick slant to his right. Shepard will be there for him and the Cowboys defense needs to be ready.
