New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) could return to the field in Week 4, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

[…]

Jahmyr Gibbs To Receive Bulk Of Touches In Week 3

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is expected to operate as the team's top rusher versus the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy managers should deploy Gibbs as a […]

Jaylen Warren Headed For Bigger Role In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is expected to "get a bigger role" against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Isiah Pacheco On Track To Play In Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is expected to play against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He had been listed as questionable.

Hunter Henry Remains A Top Option In Week 3

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has entered must-start territory heading into Sunday's game against the New York Jets. The veteran has been a top pass-catcher in the Patriots offense thus far, catching 11 passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns. While some touchdown regression is inevitable, there's no denying that Henry has blossomed […]

Patriots Defense A Must-Start In Week 3

The New England Patriots defense should be started in all fantasy leagues versus the New York Jets this week. While New England has endured a relatively slow start on both sides of the ball, their defense's lack of excitement can be blamed on two incredibly tough matchups against the Eagles and Dolphins. The Zach Wilson-led […]

Chad Ryland Not A Top Option For Week 3

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland lacks fantasy appeal heading into Week 3 versus the New York Jets. While the rookie has converted all five of his kicks (including one field goal) this season, he's averaging just 3.5 points per game. Your fantasy football lineup would look better with a higher-upside kicker, one who has […]

Mike Gesicki Can't Be Trusted In Week 3

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki isn't a reliable fantasy option heading into Sunday's clash with the New York Jets. While Gesicki impressed with five catches and 33 yards in Week 2, he remains the clear No. 2 option behind Hunter Henry. As a result, Gesicki's production is still volatile going forward, and it […]

Kendrick Bourne Tough To Trust In Week 3

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne isn't a reliable fantasy option heading into Sunday's game against the Jets. Last week's return of DeVante Parker (knee) dropped Bourne's snap share to just 51 percent, so while he did still total nine targets and four receptions, it's unclear just how much playing time he'll get going […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Belongs On Bench In Week 3

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster should be benched (or left on waivers) in most fantasy leagues ahead of Sunday's game versus the New York Jets.

Rhamondre Stevenson Headed For Busy Week 3

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson should be a central part of the team's offensive attack against the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon. Stevenson is already off to a great start this season, totaling 149 scrimmage yards and one touchdown, and should see plenty of volume as the Patriots face a stout Jets […]

Mac Jones Faces Tough Matchup In Week 3

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will have his work cut out for him against the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon. While these two teams are evenly matched, New York has a relentless defense featuring the likes of Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, and others. The Patriots may choose to establish the running game early, […]

Is Chuba Hubbard A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 3? Waiver Wire Outlook

Is Gus Edwards A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 3? Waiver Wire Outlook

The Baltimore Ravens were dealt a devastating blow in Week 1 when oft-injured running back J.K. Dobbins tore his Achilles' tendon. There was speculation that Gus Edwards would operate as the Ravens' new No. 1 option out of the backfield, but Justice Hill earned the start and saw more touches than Edwards in Week 2. […]

Is Hunter Henry A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 3? Waiver Wire Outlook

The New England Patriots entered the 2023 season with a plethora of questions on offense, including significant uncertainty surrounding the tight end position.
