    NFL Fantasy Week 3 Question, who to start?

    Deep league.
    Who would you start/sit Sunday as 3rd RB

    David Wilson, NYG RB: Touches reduced because of fumbles in game 1, even though he's getting out of Coughlin's doghouse he's still not 100 percent out of there yet.

    Ben Tate, Houston: Been getting touches because Foster is still not 100 percent. Tate has been running with authority first two games, feels he should be a #1 feature back elsewhere, respects Foster, but doesn't like carrying his water. Like I said, so far he's been running the rock like he's pissed off, with authority.

    Wilson will be targeted for a couple of flair type passes out of the backfield this week.
    Tate is not a Schaub option.

    Tate will probably get more running yards, zero receiving yard.
    Wilson could get 25 receiving yards.

    Giants play Carolina, really shitty run defense.
    Texans play Baltimore, even with the new faces, has a good run defense.

    I am leaning Wilson, not sold on it yet though.

    Tough choice. I'd probably go with Tate. Carolina has a top 5 Front-7 right now. They're nasty, they limited Lynch in week 1 to basically nothing on the ground.

    If you want to play it safe, go Tate. If you are looking for the boom or bust guy, then go with David Wilson.

    Just grabbed Gainey as a potential bye week insert. He's the Browns 'feature back' for now.

    you sure? chris obgonnaya has played the most snaps next to t-rich....I think it was like a 90+ to 70+ split (which is mind blowing in itself)

    I am still undecided, been going back and forth all week.
    Good post, PO, I know you are desperate for that free SBR point, but don't you think you can post something on topic.

    I think Wilson has the bigger potential for the week, they don't really have a decent alternative so if they're gonna run it'll be with Wilson.

    Coughlin mentioned today the game play Sunday is ground control.
    Wilson it is.
