Fantasy Football: Christine Michael is a Must Start in Week 3!
Fantasy Football Week 3 Start 'Em and Sit 'Em Help: Christine Michael Must start in week 3!

The Seattle offense has not been very good this season. Russell Wilson has looked pretty bad and is playing with a bum ankle. This all is the set up for a perfect day for Thomas Rawls. Oh, wait! Thomas Rawls hasn't practiced all week and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game.
So, who is going to be the starting running back in Seattle? Well, none other than Christine Michael. Even though in the title I said "must start" this really isn't a must start situation. However, it is a low risk high reward situation. The low risk is playing Michael as your #2 RB and hoping for a break out day. Michael has been pretty good this year and will see a lot of carries Sunday against a sketchy Niners middle.
You can feel comfortable with starting Christine Michael as one of your two backs and hoping for the best. He will see roughly 20-25 carries and is good for 50-60 yards. He also will be used on short yardage goal line scenarios. That always bodes well for fantasy owners.
