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. The 24-year-old has arguably looked better than Najee Harris so far this season, especially in the passing attack. It's worth noting that Rapoport reported Warren and Harris would split […]

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. The 23-year-old has 93 rushing and 31 receiving yards through two games, though his fantasy value could rise to the RB2 range if the Chiefs jump […]

Jamal Adams Will Remain Sidelined For Week 3

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (knee) had been listed as questionable for Week 3 but is not expected to play, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old hasn't played in a game since Week 1 last year, and while there was hope that he could return Sunday versus the Carolina Panthers, that won't be the case. […]

Tyree Wilson Expected To Play Sunday

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Tyree Wilson (illness) is expected to play in Week 3 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had been listed as questionable after missing two days of practice this past week. He did manage to participate in a limited capacity on Friday.

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Jeff Okudah (foot) is expected to play in Week 3 despite being listed as questionable. He'll be making his Falcons debut against his old team, the Detroit Lions. The 24-year-old was solid last season, amassing 73 tackles, one forced fumble, and one interception.

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. Smith-Schuster has been the definition of mediocre so far, totaling 13 targets, six catches, and 61 yards through his first two games with the Patriots. He continues to […]

Ezekiel Elliott Remains Off Fantasy Radar For Week 3

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott can be left on your bench or waivers in most fantasy leagues this week. As the Patriots gear up for a clash with the New York Jets, Rhamondre Stevenson continues to have a firm hold on the No. 1 running back role. Elliott, on the other hand, has […]

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

As the Carolina Panthers continue to figure out their identity on offense, a few underrated contributors have emerged. One offensive playmaker on the rise is running back Chuba Hubbard.

Is Roschon Johnson A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 3? Waiver Wire Outlook

Should I Drop Jerrick McKinnon? Fantasy Football Outlook

The Kansas City Chiefs suffered a narrow loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 1 but were able to bounce back last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chiefs have struggled to get dependable production from their playmakers, including running back Jerick McKinnon. Is Jerick McKinnon worth starting in fantasy football? Can I drop Jerick […]

Is Darnell Mooney Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

The first two weeks of the 2023 season have not been very enjoyable for Chicago Bears fans, and their outlook only gets bleaker as they travel to Kansas City for a clash with the Chiefs in Week 3.

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. Through two weeks, both Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki have played key roles in the offense, but the former has been Mac Jones' preferred option in the passing game. Is this a […]

Chad Ryland Hits First Career Field Goal

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland made both of his extra point attempts and also converted the first field goal of his career during a Week 2 loss versus the Miami Dolphins. Ryland's field goal came from 49 yards out and gave New England its first points of the contest. He is now 5-for-5 on […]

Patriots Defense Forces Turnover On Rookie’s First Career Interception

The New England Patriots' defense allowed 24 points during a Week 2 loss at the hands of the Miami Dolphins. The Patriots, much like the Chargers in Week 1, had trouble slowing down the Dolphins' red-hot offense. However, to their credit, the unit held Tyreek Hill to 40 yards and rookie Christian Gonzalez notched his […]

Mike Gesicki Gets Involved Versus Former Team

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki turned six targets into five receptions for 33 yards against his former team, the Miami Dolphins, in Week 2. Gesicki operated behind Hunter Henry but still delivered solid production on an equally promising 72 percent snap share. Henry is the only Patriots tight end who can be firmly […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Totals Just 28 Yards In Week 2

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in five of six targets for just 28 yards against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night.
