Fantasy Football Reactions, Ramblings, and Quick Hitters from Week 3

Ok...now we're cooking. After what I'd consider a fairly benign first two weeks of the season, Week 3 provided plenty of excitement, shocks, and disappointments for fantasy managers. We'll start out with Miami's eye-opening dominance and close with Dallas' surprising debacle in the desert while touching on several other fantasy-relevant topics along the way. This […]

Patrick Mahomes "All Good" After Injury Scare

Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle), who was limping at one point in the Week 3 blowout win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday after getting his ankle rolled up, is "all good," according to a source. He's not dealing with a serious injury and should be fine for the Sunday night game […]

Green Bay Packers running back Patrick Taylor saw an expanded role for the second straight week with Aaron Jones (hamstring) inactive in the 18-17 comeback win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Rashan Gary Picks Up Three Sacks In Week 3 Win

Green Bay Packers defensive end Rashan Gary had three sacks in the Packers' 18-17 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. Gary is beginning to emerge as his workload is slowly being ramped up following an ACL tear that ended his 2022 season halfway through. He only played 12 snaps (38%) in Week […]

Najee Harris Does Little With 19 Touches

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris continued to underwhelm in the Sunday night win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Pittsburgh's […]

Quentin Johnston's Role Could Be About To Grow

If Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams' knee injury causes him to miss significant time (potentially the rest of the season), first-round rookie receiver Quentin Johnston could be called upon much earlier than expected moving forward.

Brian Branch Shines In His First Start

Detroit Lions' safety Brian Branch shined in his first start, as the Lions beat the Atlanta Falcons 20-6. Branch made 11 solo tackles, including three tackles for loss, and he broke up two passes.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer caught four passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Joe Burrow's Status Still A Question Mark

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is still uncertain for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) may have a serious, potentially season-ending knee injury.

If an MRI confirms what […]

Tyler Lockett Has Quiet Week 3
