Week 3 of the NFL season has some great matchups coming with the Green Bay Packers playing the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers playing the Chicago Bears on Sunday night and some wide receivers to keep an eye on to start or sit includes Larry Fitzgerald, Eddie Royal, Hakeem Nicks, Mike Wallace, Julio Jones, Marlon Brown, Roddy White, Andre Johnson and James Jones.
The Packers and Bengals is a game to watch for the wide receivers, as AJ Green, James Jones, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb all could be involved in the offense quiet and bit and could put up some points for fantasy owners. Green has been off to a great start this season for the Bengals and Andy Dalton, making 15 catches for over 200 yards with two touchdowns and that is most of dalton's 562 passing yards and they will be going up against a Packers team that has plenty of firepower at the position.
Last week Aaron Rodgers had a great game with nearly 500 yards passing and four touchdowns and he already has seven touchdowns this season and Randall Cobb is leading the way with 16 catches for over 230 yards and two scores. Rodgers has done a good job this season spreading the ball around, as Cobb has had double-digit receptions in both games and he made nine catches for 128 yards and a touchdown last week against the Redskins, besting his opening game with 108 yards on seven catches.
The Packers also have Jordy Nelson and James Jones producing this season, combining for seven touchdowns already and Jones had a big game last week with nearly 180 yards receiving. Nelson has 10 catches for nearly 200 yards this season with four touchdowns, while Jones has 11 catches for 178 yards after being held in check during the first game of the season. The Giants have a big game coming up with the Panthers at 0-2 and Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks are expecting to have big games against a depleted secondary for the Panthers.
Marlon Brown is a solid option after Jacoby Jones was injured and Larry Fitzgerald is expecting to have a bounce back game after being held in check last week while dealing with a hamstring issue. Andre Johnson is coming back from a concussion issue while Eddie Royal already has five touchdowns and half his catches this season have been for scores and he is stepping up after an injury to Malcom Floyd. Mike Wallace, Julio Jones and Roddy White are players to watch as well in Week 3.
