Happy week 3 of the 2025 NFL season! Welcome back to my weekly Start/Sit Hub! Mike here, providing you with information that can help you win your fantasy league week in and week out.
Week 3 is kicking off Thursday night with a matchup between the 2-0 Buffalo Bills and the 0-2 Miami Dolphins. 2 teams that seem like they could not be farther apart in how they have started the season. Bills are favored by 12.5 with an over/under point total of 49.5. I think James Cook and De’Von Achane are in for big nights. My prediction is a Buffalo win by a score of 34-16.
I am here every week during the fantasy football season with start and sit suggestions that can impact your team each week. My decisions as always include obvious and not so obvious picks. I would also like to clarify that my sit suggestions are based on the assumption you have or can add a player that has a better chance at success. Good luck this week and continue to check out my weekly articles.
TNF START/SIT
Start – James Cook – James Cook has been cooking to start the season with the Bills. Week 1 he cooked Baltimore with 102 total yards and a rushing score and then went and cooked the Jets for 135 total yards and 2 TDs. Now he gets the Miami Dolphins who allowed the Colts to rush for 156 team yards and then allowed Rhamondre Stevenson to gain 142 total yards. Cook should have a field day on Thursday against a struggling Miami team.
Sit – Tyreek Hill – it pains me to put the cheetah in a sit spot but there are few players that are highly owned on these teams that I would feel comfortable sitting. Hill has been visibly frustrated with Tua and the Dolphins offense through 2 weeks. He did eclipse 100 receiving yards in week 2 which is great, but the Buffalo defense is the best defense they have seen so far. Sit at your own risk because of his high ceiling, but he is outside my top 25 WRs this week.
Come back in the coming days for the rest of week 3’s START/SIT picks.
