The Week 3 mailbag features all the fantasy football advice you need leading up to the first kickoff on Sunday afternoon. This next question involves Eric Decker, A.J. Green, Santonio Holmes, and Deion Branch.
Here is the question from Twitter user Jeff Lake,
It must be nice to be able to choose between those four receivers this week, not everyone can be that lucky!
Eric Decker was the popular waiver wire acquisition, but do you really want to go all in on a player who has had just one good game in his career and faces the No. 3 ranked pass defense in the NFL? Probably not.
That leaves you with three receivers who have quality matchups this week.
Santonio Holmes hasn't lived up to expectations as a whole this season, but he faces the 21st ranked pass defense in this week's game. However, do you really trust Mark Sanchez at this point?
A.J. Green was explosive last week, catching 10 balls for 124 yards and a touchdown. Green faces a San Francisco defense that gave up a ton of yards to the Cowboys last week, and give up the sixth most yards to opposing receivers.
Deion Branch faces a Buffalo Bills team that gave up huge yards to Jason Campbell last week, and are likely to give up a ton of yards to the Patriots this week.
Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the three.
Branch is the safest option this week, but A.J. Green provides the most upside. If you are looking to play it safe, insert Branch in the lineup as he is a lock for 100 yards receiving, but may not grab you a touchdown.
Green has the huge upside this week. After watching Jesse Holley dominate the 49ers secondary, Green should be able to get open early and often. With Andy Dalton throwing him the ball, he could easily have a bad week as well.
The risk is worth the reward though, as Green could easily top the 150 yard mark this week, and haul in a pair of touchdowns against a very poor secondary.
