Players to Buy
Still showing alpha usage: 22% target share with Jake Browning, plus a 16-yard catch wiped by penalty. Week 3 came against a tough Vikings defense-don’t overfit that to his rest-of-season outlook. With Patrick Surtain likely up next, managers might panic at the matchup and sell WELL below market for Chase.
Drake London still has a rock-solid PPR floor as the clear target leader for Atlanta with 8 targets in Week 3, but he still hasn’t found the end zone-classic positive TD-regression setup. A plus matchup vs. Washington is a good catalyst to buy before the eruption. Last year versus the Commanders, London went for over 100 yards on 13 targets with Michael Penix under center.
Box score hides the signal of a impending rookie breakout. Three red-zone carries (plus a stuffed 2-pt) but no TD, and quiet as a receiver for Ashton Jeanty in Week 3. Still forced five missed tackles and posted a season-high 63 yards while handling a sturdy 17.3 touches per game against tough fronts this season. He remains top-5 in forced missed tackles, and the matchup sets up perfectly in Week 4: Chicago is allowing 2.50 yards before contact (worst in the league) and 5.5 YPC. This has “breakout week” vibes for the rookie RB.
Alpha usage without the box-score pop yet: 34% target share (10 targets including penalties) with 90 air yards in Week 3; he’s 17th in air-yard share through three games and running well ahead of every other Panthers WR. Bryce Young keeps looking to T-Mac downfield and in the red zone-making him a prime TD-regression candidate with juicy matchups coming. Buy Low.
Another modest line (4-41 on 7 targets) for Ladd McConkey with a long DPI drawn, while Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston handle most of the box-score love. The second-year WR still hasn’t scored, and the market is treating that as signal when it’s mostly early-season noise for a talented second-year wideout tethered to an MVP-caliber Justin Herbert offense. Expect efficiency + TD regression to lift him, even if the true “alpha” outcome likely needs an injury.
Breece Hall‘s usage remains firmly in his favor: 55% snaps and a 46-16 touch edge over Braelon Allen (?75/25 split) through 3 games. He was second on the team in targets in Week 3, and Allen had only four touches before late third quarter-Hall’s passing-game role + lead volume still drive a strong weekly floor/ceiling combo. Fell short of scoring despite two red zone looks. Perfect buy-window optics if managers are spooked by the snap share headlines. Justin Fields should also return soon. Not to mention…Dolphins are next!
Trey Benson is expected to take over as the Cardinals RB1 for the remainder of the season after James Conner‘s season-ending injury. He was already being more involved this year with a healthy Conner (particularly as a receiver with 10 targets in the last two games). He is worth going all-in off waivers if he is available in your league. However, be wary that Week 4 might not be a great game for Benson. The Seahawks defense is good and Arizona is not 100% across their OL.
Fumbles from Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson opened the door, and the rookie quietly led the backfield in snaps (46%) in Week 3. Production hasn’t popped yet (and he won’t be a 20-carry bell cow), so we’re betting on role drift + the right usage: 4+ targets and a couple explosives per game. Coaches say Stevenson is still involved, but actions (post-fumble usage) hint at a growing lane for Henderson-and a plus matchup vs. Carolina makes this a “wow we should have seen this breakout coming.” Buy Low.
Harvey had 5 carries, eight yards + 1 rec, 16 yards. 33% snap share. Buy low. Led the backfield in routes run in Week 2. In Week 3, Harvey’s receiving usage continued trending up. He actually started Week 3, touching the ball four times across the first two drives. He’s still clearly behind J.K. Dobbins in total workload, but Dobbins’ durability history + Harvey’s growing pass-game role create a clean contingency path. Buy Low and keep him stashed.
Sometimes being a tight end with a high target rate and TD equity is all you need. The Bills’ tight end still has a lackluster route participation as he splits time with other TEs. But when he runs routes, Kincaid is getting the ball. 21% target share in Week 3 to go with a 5-66-1 stat line.
Tough road spot at Cleveland (18/25, 183 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT; 89.2 rating) but accuracy was fine and the volume was capped more than broken. A rebound sets up well for Jordan Love against a porous Dallas defense, making him a classic short-term bounce-back to start/target for QB-needy teams.
Matthew Golden saw career-best involvement in Week 3: season-high snaps/routes, led the team in catches and yards, plus schemed usage with three carries. Even in a low-octane passing day he led GB with 34 air yards-small number, big signal that his role is expanding. With a likely track meet vs. Dallas up next, he’s a sneaky momentum buy before a potential break out.

Players to Sell
The Jacksonville Jaguars backfield usage is is slipping toward a larger committee: 54% snaps for Etienne, LeQuint Allen at 30% (led all RBs in routes), and Bhayshul Tuten mixed in (17%) with the goal-line TD. Etienne logged zero catches for the first time this year (season-low two targets). The season-long surface efficiency (5.9 YPC, third) hides shaky down-to-down performance (7th-worst rushing success rate), with explosives masking inconsistency-and a tougher defensive stretch looms until there Week 8 bye week. Liam Coen has room to trim Etienne’s workload further as rookies Allen/Tuten earn more work. Sell High.
Keenan Allen remains Justin Herbert‘s red-zone go-to and even drew two more penalty targets in Week 3-he’s a weekly start. But at 33 years old with missed time in each of the past three seasons, this is a classic ROI cash-out moment while the usage and name value are at peak levels. Don’t sell for fair value-sell for max value. Sell High – flip Allen straight up for a rising WR2 like Tetairoa McMillan,
Chase Brown‘s Week 3 snap share (55%) didn’t’ translate to usable production behind a beat-up offensive line, and the offense without Joe Burrow is compressing TD chances. Through three games he’s dead last in rushing success rate and sitting at 2.0 YPC-brutal efficiency with little weekly floor.
D’Andre Swift played 61% of snaps but the rushing has been rough (2.5 YPC; 9th-worst rushing success rate; PFF’s 7th-worst RB grade). The receiving juice and a couple explosives are masking rushing inefficiency, and he doesn’t own a lucrative red-zone role. Kyle Monangai mixed in early (Swift 4 first-half carries to Monangai’s 3), hinting at more of a split than a true bell cow-led backfield. With a tougher matchup vs. Las Vegas and a Week 5 bye looming, this is a good time to shop him. If you can get more than mid-to-low RB2 value, take it (target a stable WR2 or package Swift to tier up at RB/WR).
Volume is fine, but the receiving isn’t: Tony Pollard is running routes without targets on a Titans team that ranks 32nd in throws to RBs. Cameron Ward hasn’t been checking down, and Tyjae Spears‘ return is looming-threatening both snaps and high-value touches. Week 3 TD gives you a clean sell window before the pass-game ceiling (and possibly the workload) gets capped later in the year. Sell High.
DeVonta Smith‘s Week 3 spike (8-60-1 on 9 targets) came with a comeback script-he even drew the 2-pt try right after the TD. But historically, when A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert are both healthy, Smith’s target share/TDs get choppier. Tampa Bay could keep things lively next week, but then it’s Broncos, Vikings, and Giants twice-fewer shootout vibes than the Eagles-Rams game. Use the fresh box-score pop to exit at peak value. Sell High.
T.J. Hockenson had a resurgent Week 3 with season highs (25% target share; 5/49/1) and his first TD, buoyed by a TE-friendly matchup and a quarterback who funnels targets inside. But the setup changes fast: Jordan Addison returns in Week 4 to siphon volume, and Hockenson’s ceiling is still heavily target/QB dependent. This is a prime window to cash out at peak perception. Sell High. But if you can’t…he is worth holding and playing in Week 4 versus the Steelers who just got shredded by Hunter Henry.
Totaled 13 targets, 6 catches, 87 yds in Week 2 and 3. He was plagued by drops (including a TD that was intercepted) in Week 2. Week 3 he didn’t look he was on the same page with Mahomes at times. Sell for me. If Kelce cannot take advantage of being the Chiefs’ best receiver, it’s not going to get easier when the other WRs come back healthy.
