Week 3 Wide Receiver Outlooks For Fantasy Football

Brandon Aiyuk, San Francisco 49ers - Fantasy Football Outlook

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is in Los Angeles to face the Rams in the team's first divisional matchup of 2024 on Sunday. Predictably, Aiyuk has yet to offer much to fantasy managers in the early going after choosing to sit out virtually the entire preseason.

In Week 2 in Minnesota, the former first-rounder caught four of five targets for 43 yards, which was an improvement from Week 1's two-for-five, 28-yard performance versus the Jets. He has yet to score a touchdown.

San Francisco is going to need him in LA though, as Deebo Samuel (calf) has been ruled out and George Kittle (hamstring) is doubtful. This game is as good as any for Aiyuk to get it going, with the Rams being shredded by rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. last week for 29 half-PPR points.

The stars seem to have aligned for Aiyuk to make his first splash this season, with the matchup and likely heavy target share intersecting with another week of rust being shaken off. Start him this week as a low/mid WR1.

Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Cardinals - Fantasy Football Outlook

After a disappointing Week 1, where Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. saw just three targets, his Week 2 performance quickly eased any concerns for fantasy managers. Harrison Jr. hauled in four catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns, making him the highest-scoring wide receiver in fantasy for the week.

The No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft will look to build on last week's performance against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. In Week 3, he should have a clear advantage over the Lions' cornerbacks, especially rookie Terrion Arnold, who has struggled early in the season. With a significant size advantage, the Cardinals may look to isolate Harrison Jr. in the red zone to exploit mismatches.

He remains a game-breaking presence for Arizona's offense, and fantasy managers should confidently have him locked into their starting lineups for Week 3.

Tank Dell, Houston Texans - Fantasy Football Outlook

It's been a rough go through two games for Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell, who ranks 63rd among receivers in fantasy points. In Week 2, Dell had a woeful minus-3 receiving yards, an 11% target share, and a bad drop that would have been a significant gain.

Houston seems committed to keeping the second-year deep threat involved, though, as he's been on the field for 66% of snaps and even drawn five carries for 35 yards. With Houston running backs Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) dealing with injuries, Dell seems set to have chances against a Vikings defense that has allowed the eighth-most passing yards in the NFL. He bears WR3/Flex consideration in this matchup.
