BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: After an incredible performance in Week 2, it'll be hard to sit New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers in fantasy this week. The rookie caught 10 passes for 127 yards and one touchdown against the Washington Commanders. However, Nabers has an extremely tough matchup against the Browns in Week 3.
Cleveland allowed the third-fewest fantasy points and receiving yards (2,076) to opposing wideouts last season. So, Nabers could have a hard time getting opportunities in this game. That's why he is more of a WR3 in fantasy this week -- even after his big fantasy day last week.

The Browns have one of the better secondaries in the league, led by cornerbacks Greg Newsome II and Denzel Ward. Ward will likely be matched against Nabers on Sunday, which isn't great for his fantasy potential in Week 3. The Pro Bowl corner has allowed just two catches to opposing wideouts this season. As a result, the rookie should probably only be started in 12-plus team leagues this weekend.
