Fantasy football start/sit Week 3: What to do with Eric Ebron
Here is why the Lions TE is in position to have another big fantasy week.

The Lions host the NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons Sunday. The Falcons do not have a shutdown defense by any means. They have given up at least four receptions and 39 or more yards to TEs so far this season. The Bears and Packers were able to exploit the middle and the Falcons linebackers in Weeks 1 and 2.
Fantasy impact: Ebron is walking into a very favorable matchup Sunday. His large frame and great hands make him an ideal red-zone threat. The Falcons are weak in the middle and that is a dream for TEs. Ebron should be able to ride the momentum of Week 2 to another big performance.
