Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 3? Elic Ayomanor, Quinshon Judkins, Trey Benson, Blake Corum, Christian Kirk, Dyami Brown, Tyler Warren, Kareem Hunt, Dylan Sampson, Rachaad White

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor carries a sleeper flex appeal heading into a Week 3 tilt against the Indianapolis Colts. The fourth-round rookie was competing for a role throughout training camp and the preseason, and has already emerged as a full-time player in the offense.

In Week 1, Ayomanor saw an impressive seven targets, but was only able to catch two for a mere 13 yards, facing a tough Denver secondary. Then in Week 2, Ayomanor was able to find the back of the end zone for the first time in his career and bring in four of his six targets for 56 yards against a potent Los Angeles Rams defense.

Given his emergence and increasing target share, managers in deeper 12+ team leagues should view Ayomanor as a viable flex option facing a Colts defense that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to the position this season. If he were to once again see a high target share, he could enter high-end WR3 status for Week 4.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson continues to see more opportunities so far this season, but his fantasy relevance hasn't hit a startable point just yet. In Week 1, he saw 33% of the offensive snaps and then received 44% in Week 2.

He finished right around the middle of RB3 territory in PPR formats for both weeks, so his production hasn't warranted being in fantasy lineups yet. Despite getting only three carries against the Carolina Panthers, he also saw six targets for a 24% target share.

Trey Benson's playing trend is one to watch as the season goes on, but he's better left on the bench going up against the San Francisco 49ers' defense while on the road.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum is trending toward handling a larger role going forward, but his productivity could be held in check ahead of Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Corum saw his snap share jump from 17 percent to 30 percent in Week 2, and he also scored a touchdown while rushing for 44 yards on five carries.

While a favorable matchup against the Titans may have boosted his efficiency, it appears that the Rams are still looking to get him more involved. Even if he handles around one-third of the snaps in Week 3, though, he won't be a reliable fantasy option.

Williams profiles as the Rams' short-yardage back and their go-to option around the goal line, and Corum will likely see reduced efficiency against an Eagles defense that has allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt is in a nearly 50/50 split backfield with Isiah Pacheco heading into Week 3. Pacheco is pacing the backfield in carries, but the duo is tied with 47 rushing yards on the season. Hunt and Pacheco have been so inefficient that Patrick Mahomes is actually the team's leading rusher through the first two weeks.

Despite his struggles, Hunt has been the preferred back on passing downs and short-yardage situations. If he can hang onto this role in the offense and improve his efficiency, Hunt could be the most fantasy-relevant player in this backfield. The 30-year-old will have the opportunity to turn it around in a juicy matchup against the New York Giants. The Giants ceded 82 rushing yards and a touchdown to Jacory Croskey-Merritt in Week 1 then 97 yards and a touchdown to Javonte Williams in Week 2.

Given his short-yardage role, Hunt could find himself in the endzone this weekend against this porous Giants defense. Hunt will have to prove his worth soon with rookie Brashard Smith waiting in the wings, but he should have a chance to hang onto the role for at least another week. Hunt is ranked RB41 in our Roto Baller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a deeper league flex option.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was surprisingly solid during last week's win over the Houston Texans. White only saw two rushing attempts and one reception in the season opener, but came to play in Week 2.

He rushed 10 times for 65 yards with a touchdown on the ground. White also hauled in both his targets for one additional yard through the air in the win. The 26-year-old remains the backup to Bucky Irving, which is going to limit his upside. However, the Bucs are banged up with Chris Godwin (ankle), Jalen McMillan (neck) both out.

Also, Emeka Egbuka (groin) listed as questionable for Week 3 matchup against the New York Jets. That being said, the Bucs might need White to play a bigger role on offense this week. There's certainly some risk to starting White, but when active he has decent PPR upside.
