Fantasy Picks Week 3

So I play on Fanduel and this is my lineup for week 3.  Understand, this lineup is constrained because of the salary cap of FanDuel.  I am also a Carolina Panthers fan, so I tend to find a way to get the Panthers represented sometimes.  However, I feel really good about this lineup and think it's a winner.

I'd love your feedback, so drop me a line and/or join me on FanDuel.

My picks for week 3:

QB: Andy Dalton or Carson Palmer or Tom Brady
The case for Andy Dalton - He's playing Baltimore without Terrell Suggs.  That means Dumervil will see double teams and more time for Dalton to find AJ Green and others downfield. Could be a big game.
The case for Carson Palmer - He's playing San Fran who isn't frightening anyone these days.  The defense just gave up big plays to Big Ben and the Steelers.  It's a good matchup for Carson and the Cards.
The case for Tom Brady - He's playing Jacksonville! Nuff said!

RB: Isaiah Crowell, Giovani Bernard
Crowell is the man in Cleveland right now.  He is also up against and up and coming Raiders defense that has to prove they can stop the run.
Bernard has been seeing plenty of touches the first two weeks, even as a back up to Jeremy Hill.  I look for that trend to continue, especially in the wake of his 100+ yd day in week 2.

WR: Emmanuel Sanders, Amari Cooper, Julian Edelman
Sanders is not a number 2 receiver, he is a 1A receiver.  Peyton looks for him just as much as Demaryius, and even more so on third downs.  I look for him to have another stellar game against Detroit this week.
Cooper had a breakout game against the Ravens and he and Derek Carr seem to have a great rapport. With Crabtree also having a great game, he may not have to see Joe Hayden too much in week 3.
Edelman is a target grabbing machine for NE.  He's Brady's most reliable/favorite target.  Especially in PPR leagues, Edelman is a stud.

TE: Greg Olsen
Olsen has a good matchup against a weak Saints D.  He's also Cam Newton's most reliable target.

K: Brandon McManus
Denver can put up some points, especially if they let Peyton control the offense the way he did in the second half of the Thursday night game against Kansas City.  McManus should have plenty of opportunities to get points against Detroit.

D: Carolina Panthers or Arizona Cardinals
The Panthers D is not only a top ten D in the league, but also in fantasy.  They have a favorable matchup against a banged up Drew Brees and the Saints.
The Arizona Cardinals are playing a week SF team.  They are looking to take control of their division.  Look for some turnovers by an opportunistic defense.
