Week 3 fantasy football busts: 7 players to bench or fade

Between injuries and slow starts, the fantasy football season is causing issues for everyone. With that, it pushes us to make tough lineup decisions, which is why I'm here. The thick of the fantasy season is here, and weekly choices become more and more important as each week goes on.

Let's sort through all of that and put your lineups in a spot to pick up some wins by leaving these players on the bench in Week 3.

Even with a good matchup, Pollard is not a great option this week. With weekly PPR finishes of 44 and 36 in the first two weeks, Pollard is, at best, a fringe flex option. This week he's up against the New York Giants, who are in the bottom half of the league in rush defense. Pollard is still not an option. He's only playing on 53.5% of the snaps, splitting time with Tyjae Spears, in what is a horrible offense that's scoring only 15 points per game.

With TreVeyon Henderson back, Stevenson's path to production is very limited. Last week, Henderson played on 60% of the snaps, while Stevenson was down to 36%. Reggie Gilliam even played on 36% of the snaps.
