Managers must make crucial lineup decisions during each week of the fantasy football season. Starting the right players will often be the difference between winning and losing. Some may be debating between Najee Harris, Devin Singletary and Zack Moss for one of their Week 3 lineup spots. Here's which one to start.
Is Najee Harris a good fantasy pick in Week 3?
Najee Harris finished among the top 20 overall fantasy football running backs in each of his three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers so far. He has done so despite sharing their backfield workload with Jaylen Warren.

The Steelers have been using nearly an even split in snap percentage between their two running backs so far this season, but Harris has still maintained his reliable volume. He already has 39 touches through two games, making him a solid option in Week 3, despite facing a tough Los Angeles Chargers defense.
Is Devin Singletary a good fantasy pick in Week 3?
Devin Singletary has been a consistently reliable fantasy football running back during his career so far. He has finished among the top 35 players in his position in each of his five seasons so far and currently ranks as the RB26 through two games this year.
Up next for the veteran running back is a challenging matchup against the Cleveland Browns' elite defense. He may find it difficult to turn in a big Week 3 performance, but the New York Giants' commitment to him as their featured back still gives him a relatively safe floor. He has played in 76% of their total offensive snaps this year.
Is Zack Moss a good fantasy pick in Week 3?
Zack Moss was solid last season filling in for Jonathan Taylor with the Indianapolis Colts, finishing as the RB29 in fantasy football, despite only being a partial starter. He switched teams to the Cincinnati Benagls during the offseason, and so far as a full-time starter, he ranks as the overall RB28 through two games.
The veteran will have a favorable matchup in Week 3 when he faces off against the Washington Commanders. He has recorded a modest 24 touches in his first two games with the Bengals, but he has an opportunity to break out against a weaker defense than he has faced so far.
Najee Harris or Devin Singletary or Zack Moss: Who Should I Start in Fantasy Football Week 3?
While Najee Harris and Devin Singletary have outperformed Zack Moss through the first two weeks of the 2024 fantasy football season, the Bengals running back is the preferred lineup option out of the three running backs this week. Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool projects that he will have more rushing and receiving yards this week.
This particular suggestion is a good example of why matchups are so important when setting lineups. Singletary and Harris are facing off against elite defenses this week, while Moss' favorable situation against the Commanders heavily contributes to his higher weekly projection.
