Most fantasy football teams are limping into fantasy football week 3 after a number of injuries to important players across the league last week. Whether you come in healthy or are trying to patch up your roster, it’s important to take into consideration the fantasy football week 3 matchups to attack. To find some of the matchups where players appear primed for success this weekend, check out the following slides.

Hopefully, you’ve been able to avoid all the injuries, but even if you haven’t you can overcome any shortages with good “coaching.” Just ask the Texans what that looks like after fantasy football week 3 got off to a horrible start for Houston owners. The Patriots played their third QB and still rolled the Texans on Thursday Night Football while limiting fantasy options Lamar Miller, Brock Osweiler, DeAndre Hopkins, and Will Fuller. Whether you’re ahead, behind, or haven’t started your matchup this week, check out the matchups you should try to target for a big Sunday and Monday.
