Strong Starts
Here are players that should be in starting consideration for most fantasy teams.
Well…well…well…the Lions aren’t a sagging offense after all. Through three weeks, it looks like all of the Lions’ magic wasn’t just a result of Ben Johnson. Jared Goff is the QB12 in fantasy points per game. Among 37 qualifying passers, he ranks seventh in yards per attempt, sixth in CPOE, and eighth in highly accurate throw rate and catchable target rate. The Lions’ ability to quickly get their offensive line to gel has also been important. Over the last two weeks, Detroit has allowed the eighth-lowest pressure rate, which has been massive for Goff. We’ll see how the Lions’ offensive line holds up against the one-man wrecking crew of Myles Garrett. If they can, Goff should have a nice day. Cleveland has allowed the fifth-most passing touchdowns (tied), the eighth-highest passer rating, and ranks 16th in success rate per dropback.
Fantasy Football Flex & Deep Plays to Consider
Let’s fill out those flex spots.
Jameson Williams is the WR41 in fantasy points per game. He has a monster game in Week 2 (WR12) sandwiched between two dud performances (WR57, WR59). All of the offseason talk of Williams evolving into a high-volume receiver hasn’t materialized yet into on-field production. Williams has a 12.6% target share as the team’s field stretcher (17.0 aDOT) with a 32.1% air-yard share, 58 receiving yards per game (1.87 yards per route run), and an 11.5% first-read share. This could be a big week for Williams against a secondary that has allowed the fourth-highest passer rating to deep balls while ranking 16th in depth-adjusted completion rate to downfield passes. Williams is highly volatile, but he does have a high ceiling this week. The Browns have allowed the third-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
Cedric Tillman is the WR40 in fantasy points per game, but that is faulty window dressing for a player who hasn’t come close to replicating his 2024 production when healthy. Tillman has only managed a 13.2% target share with 33.3 receiving yards per game (0.88 yards per route run) and a 16.7% first-read share. He is tied for the team lead with two red zone targets. He hasn’t had more than 52 receiving yards in any game, and scores in Weeks 1 and 2 saved his fantasy bacon. He could have a decent day this week if D.J. Reed follows Jeudy, as Tillman would match up with Terrion Arnold (65% catch rate and 121.5 passer rating allowed) for most of the game. Tillman still likely needs a touchdown to save his day in Week 4. Detroit has allowed the sixth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
With every passing week, Harold Fannin Jr. looks more like 2024 Isiah Likely. The standout Week 1 performance gets further and further in the rearview. Over the last two weeks, he has averaged only 4.5 targets, four receptions, and 36.5 receiving yards. Fannin Jr. has settled into a 55.5% route share, which isn’t great, while seeing a14% target share (24% target per route run rate) with 45.3 receiving yards per game (1.79 yards per route run) and a 17.9% first-read share. He hasn’t had a red zone target since the one he saw in Week 1. Maybe he has a bounce-back game this week, but it’s tough to bet on. Detroit has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
Concerning Starts & Players to Fade
Players in consideration for lineups, but temper your expectations this week.
Joe Flacco‘s Cleveland magic is gone. He’s the QB35 in fantasy points per game and near the bottom of the league in most per-dropback metrics. Among 37 qualifying quarterbacks, Flacco ranks dead last in yards per attempt and passer rating, 28th in catchable target rate, and 24th in CPOE. The Lions look like a nice on-paper matchup for Flacco, but I don’t know at this point if he can take advantage of it. Detroit has allowed the third-highest passer rating, the seventh-highest CPOE, and the second-most passing touchdowns.
In only his second NFL game, Quinshon Judkins took over the Cleveland backfield. Last week, he played 58% of the snaps, finishing with 19 touches and 95 total yards, finishing as the RB11 for the week. He handled 18 of 19 running back carries and had a 31.6% route share. Jerome Ford took most of the remaining passing-down reps as Dylan Sampson played only four snaps. Among 48 qualifying backs, Judkins ranks ninth in explosive run rate, 11th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and sixth in yards after contact per attempt. He should flirt with 16-20 touches in this game, but he’ll need the volume in a brutal matchup. Detroit has the ninth-best stuff rate while allowing the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate and the sixth-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
After his monster game in Week 3, David Montgomery is the RB8 in fantasy points per game, averaging 13.3 touches and 89.4 total yards. Among 48 qualifying backs, he ranks sixth in explosive run rate, 19th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and first in yards after contact per attempt. He’ll need a touchdown this week to pay off in fantasy. The Browns’ run defense has been quietly awesome. They have allowed the fewest rushing yards per game, zero explosive runs, and the lowest yards before contact per attempt.
Jerry Jeudy has been a colossal disappointment with how he closed last season. He is the WR61 in fantasy points per game. Jeudy has a 16.3% target share, a 43.2% air-yard share, 1.14 yards per route run (44.7 receiving yards per game), and a 25.6% first-read share. He doesn’t have a single red zone target. This week, he faces a Detroit defense that has utilized single high at the fourth-highest rate (62.4%). Against single high, Jeudy has seen his numbers perk up some with an 18.2% target share, 1.80 yards per route run, and a 29.2% first-read share. I’m curious if we see D.J. Reed (72.7% catch rate and 96.0 passer rating allowed) shadow Jeudy as he followed Zay Flowers on 65.7% of his routes last week, holding him to one target and zero receiving yards in his coverage. If that happens, Jeudy is likely whipped off the board this week.
David Njoku has been an afterthought this season as the TE22 in fantasy points per game. Njoku hasn’t been a high-end target earner this season. He has only a 13.2% target share despite having a 75.2 % route share. He has only produced 39 receiving yards per game (1.14 yards per route run) with a 15.4% first-read share. Njoku is still searching for his first red zone look of the season. He hasn’t finished higher than TE15 in weekly scoring in any week. Maybe the standout game comes this week, but I doubt it. Detroit has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Strong Starts
Here are players that should be in starting consideration for most fantasy teams.
Michael Penix Jr. has had a troubling start to the season, but this week’s matchup could be a good bounce back spot for the talented young signal caller. Penix is the QB34 in fantasy points per game. Among 37 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranks 27th in yards per attempt, 33rd in passer rating, 31st in CPOE, and 32nd in catchable target rate. Thankfully for Penix Jr. the Commanders pass defense has been struggling. They have allowed the eighth-most yards per attempt, the ninth-most passing yards per game, and the 11th-highest passer rating.
Darnell Mooney has had a slow start to the season as the WR77 in fantasy points per game. He has two red zone targets in his two games played this season. Mooney has a solid 21.9% target share, 40% air-yard share, and 26.8% first-read share, but he has only managed 32 receiving yards per game (1.03 yards per route run). This could be the regression game for Mooney, where he starts turning the volume into fantasy production. The Commanders have utilized single high with 55.8% of their defensive snaps. Against single-high, Mooney has led the team with a 32.1% target share and 50% air-yard share while having 1.50 yards per route run and a 40% first-read share. Washington has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
Kyle Pitts is the TE16 in fantasy points per game with one TE1 finish in weekly scoring this season (TE7). He’s a full-time player in the Falcons’ offense with an 87.1% route share, a 17.9% target share, 45 receiving yards per game (1.34 yards per route run), and a 16.9% first-read share. This week, he has another plus schematic matchup. The Commanders have utilized single high with 55.8% of their defensive snaps. Against single-high, Pitts has seen his target share increase to 19.6% and this first-read share stays stable at 16.7%. Pitts could easily be a strong TE1 this season. The Commanders have allowed the highest yards per reception and the tenth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
Fantasy Football Flex & Deep Plays to Consider
Let’s fill out those flex spots.
Deebo Samuel is the WR15 in fantasy points per game. Before last week’s quieter stat line, Samuel was the WR6 and WR17 in weekly fantasy scoring. In addition to his receiving workload, he has four rushing attempts, 37 rushing yards, and a rushing score this season. Samuel also has one red zone target this season. Samuel has a 22.6% target share, 1.61 yards per route run (44 receiving yards per game), and a 23.7% first-read share. This week he faces an Atlanta pass defense that has the second-highest single high rate (67.3%) in the NFL. Against single-high, Samuel has seen his target share dip to 17.6% with only 0.91 yards per route run and a 17.1% first-read share. This looks like a tough week for Samuel unless Terry McLaurin is out and he’s just pounded with targets. Atlanta has allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers (Samuel 83% slot).
Concerning Starts & Players to Fade
Players in consideration for lineups, but temper your expectations this week.
Marcus Mariota will be starting again for the Commanders this week. Last week, he was the QB6 in fantasy. He kicked in 40 yards on the ground (six carries) with a rushing score. Mariota was efficient with his passing volume (21 passing attempts), completing 71.4% of his passes with a 118.6 passer rating. He had a strong 76.2% highly accurate throw rate and 85.7% catchable target rate. He’ll have a tougher time this week facing a Falcons’ pass defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest yards per attempt, the fourth-lowest passer rating, and the seventh-lowest CPOE. Without Terry McLaurin and facing a tough matchup, his rushing acumen will have to carry his fantasy production.
Bill missed practice on Wednesday (knee), but he was able to practice later in the week. He’s expected to suit up this week. In Week 3, his first game without Austin Ekeler in the lineup, Croskey-Merritt played 40.7% of the snaps with eight of 23 running back carries. He had a 21.7% route share, which led the backfield but was considerably lower than we would like. He split the red zone with Chris Rodriguez, with each player getting two totes inside the 20-yard line. I hope that the talented rookie will grab more of the work for this backfield as we move through the season, but it’s up in the air. I do think that they are trying to ease the rookie in. Bill’s per-touch metrics remain strong with an 18% missed tackle rate and 3.36 yards after contact per attempt. With his workload and red zone usage still a mess, Croskey-Merritt is a sit this week with a bad matchup incoming. Atlanta has held backs to the tenth-fewest rushing yards per game, the 12th-lowest explosive run rate, and the eighth-lowest yards before contact per attempt.
Last week, Jeremy McNichols worked into the Washington backfield rotation with a 24.1% snap rate (third behind Bill and Chris Rodriguez). He finished with only four touches (78 rushing yards), zero targets, and a 17.4% route share. He had only four of 23 running back carries. He had a long touchdown run that carried his fantasy day. McNichols is just a bench stash and not playable this week. Atlanta has held backs to the tenth-fewest rushing yards per game, the 12th-lowest explosive run rate, and the eighth-lowest yards before contact per attempt.
Last week, surprisingly, Chris Rodriguez got some work while I think most people thought (myself included) that Jacory Croskey-Merritt would take over the lion’s share of the early down work immediately with Austin Ekeler sidelined. Rodriguez played 38.9% of the snaps (second to Croskey-Merritt) with 11 of the team’s 23 running back carries. He was a distant third behind Croskey-Merritt and Jermey McNichols in route share, with only 8.7% and zero targets. He split the red zone work with Croskey-Merritt as each player got two carries inside the 20-yard line. Rodriguez wasn’t efficient with his work, with zero explosive runs, no missed tackles, and only 2.27 yards after contact per attempt. I think Croskey-Merritt will get more of the workload this week, but Rodriguez is only a touchdown-dependent flex play with a bad matchup. Atlanta has held backs to the tenth-fewest rushing yards per game, the 12th-lowest explosive run rate, and the eighth-lowest yards before contact per attempt.
Terry McLaurin has been ruled out for Week 4 (quad).
Zach Ertz is the TE8 in fantasy points per game. He has two red zone targets and two scores this season. Ertz has a 16.1% target share, 1.60 yards per route run (42.7 receiving yards per game), and an 18.6% first-read share. This week, he faces an Atlanta pass defense that has the second-highest single high rate (67.3%) in the NFL. Against single-high, Ertz has just a 9.8% target share, 0.83 yards per route run, and an 8.6% first-read share. This isn’t the week to expect much from Ertz. The Falcons have held tight ends to the fewest fantasy points per game and the tenth-fewest yards per reception.

Strong Starts
Here are players that should be in starting consideration for most fantasy teams.
The Eagles’ passing attack broke out of their funk last week. DeVonta Smith is the WR37 in fantasy points per game, but last week he finished as the WR8 in weekly scoring (PPR). Smith has a 23.4% target share, a 35.9% air-yard share, 1.45 yards per route run (43 receiving yards per game), and a 31.3% first-read share. Smith leads the team with three red zone targets. He’ll face a Tampa Bay secondary that has utilized single high with 52.4% of their defensive snaps. Against single high, he leads the team with a 30.8% target share with 1.31 yards per route run, and a 44.4% first-read share. The per-route efficiency with Smith doesn’t worry me much because the talent is obviously still there. The secondary matchup is quite nice for Smith this week. Smith has run 64.6% of his routes from the slot this season. Tampa Bay has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game to slot receivers.
Fantasy Football Flex & Deep Plays to Consider
Let’s fill out those flex spots.
N/A
Concerning Starts & Players to Fade
Players in consideration for lineups, but temper your expectations this week.
Baker Mayfield is the QB11 in fantasy points per game, averaging four rushing attempts and 38.7 rushing yards. He has been in full YOLO mode. Mayfield is second in the passing touchdowns (tied), 13th in passer rating, and ninth in highly accurate throw rate. Ok, those are the good things, now to the bad. Mayfield also ranks 26th in CPOE, 21st in catchable target rate, and fifth in turnover-worthy throw rate. Mayfield could easily pull another rabbit out of his Buccaneers helmet this week and be a QB1 again, but he’ll have an uphill climb to do so. The Eagles have allowed the tenth-fewest yards per attempt, the fifth-lowest passer rating, and the tenth-lowest CPOE.
Week 2 was an outlier for Rachaad White. In Weeks 1 & 3, White played 24-27% of the snaps, finishing with three touches and 16 total yards, and six touches and 14 total yards. That type of usage makes him a deep league DESPERATION touchdown-dependent flex play even in the best of circumstances. I wouldn’t bank on that or efficiency with his limited volume against a run defense that has allowed the 11th-lowest explosive run rate and the lowest missed tackle rate. Sit White.
Chris Godwin was listed as a full participant in practice for Wednesday and Friday. I can’t start him this week. There’s no way to project his route share accurately. He’ll likely be eased in for his game of the season, and the matchup is tough, so don’t expect Godwin (who is not 100% yet) to make the most of what could be a limited snap count.
Sterling Shepard has a 15.2% target share, 1.80 yards per route run, and a 12.3% first-read share. He has averaged 51 receiving yards per game while drawing one red zone target. He’ll get a usage bump this week without Mike Evans in the lineup, but I don’t want to plug him in as a flex play against a secondary that has limited slot receivers to the second-fewest fantasy points per game and the fewest PPR points per target.
In his two games this season, Goedert has had an 87,.1% route share, a 16.4% target share, 1.26 yards per route run (38.5 receiving yards per game), and a 15.6% first-read share. He was a focal point of the game plan for Week 1, but last week, he had only two targets. He secured one for a 33-yard score. Goedert is a worrisome start this week against a secondary that has held tight ends to the ninth-fewest yards per reception and the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game.
Cade Otton has been a nothingburger in this offense. He’ll get a bump from Mike Evans‘ injury, but I don’t think that usage bump comes this week. Otton has had only a 6.1% target share, 0.30 yards per route run (8.3 receiving yards per game), and a 6.2% first-read share. Philly has kept tight ends in check, giving up the third-fewest fantasy points per game and the fifth-fewest receiving yards.

Must-Start
These are no-brainer MUST starts.
Strong Starts
Here are players that should be in starting consideration for most fantasy teams.
After Rhamondre Stevenson‘s two fumbles last week, TreVeyon Henderson is expected to assume a bigger role this week. Stevenson fumbled once in the first quarter and then again to open the third quarter. After he put the ball on the ground the second time, Henderson played 72.2% of the snaps with a 63.6% route share (12.5% target share). Last week, he finished with 14 touches and 47 total yards. Henderson hasn’t been amazing on a per-touch basis this season, with zero explosive runs, a 5% missed tackle rate, and only 1.42 yards after contact per attempt, but the Panthers should help those stats this week. Carolina has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards per game, the ninth-highest explosive run rate, and the third-most yards after contact per attempt.
Tetairoa McMillan opened the week with a DNP (calf), but he said that he expects to play this week. He has been listed as questionable after logging limited practices this week. McMillan is the WR30 in fantasy points per game. He has a 21.9% target share, a 37.2% air-yard share, 1.95 yards per route run (72 receiving yards per game), and a 28% first-read share. He faces a Patriots’ pass defense that has utilized single high with 54.2% or higher defensive snaps in two of their three games, so I expect them to lean single high heavy this week. Against single-high, McMillan has seen his metrics jump with a 29.3% target share, 2.47 yards per route run, and a 37.5% first-read share. He should have a strong Week 4 against a secondary that has allowed the fourth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Christian Gonzalez could be back this week after limited practices all week (hamstring). I’m not going to freak out over Gonzalez returning to the lineup. He’s clearly still not 100% and we have no clue if he’ll actually shadow McMillan with a new regime in place.
Hunter Henry is the TE3 in fantasy points per game after his colossal 29 PPR point performance last week. Overall, he has a 19.8% target share (70% route share), 1.81 yards per route run (55 receiving yards per game), and a 22.5% first-read share. Carolina has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game and the most receiving yards to tight ends.
Fantasy Football Flex & Deep Plays to Consider
Let’s fill out those flex spots.
Any steps that Bryce Young looked to have made last year have disappeared. He has one QB1 weekly performance this season and needed 55 passing attempts to get there (QB8). Young has rushed for more than ten yards in a game only once. Among 37 qualifying passers, he ranks 34th in yards per attempt, 30th in fantasy points per dropback, 27th in CPOE, and 28th in highly accurate throw rate. Young has a nice matchup against New England this week, but I have serious doubts that he can take advantage of it. He might flirt with decent QB2 numbers, but not much more than that. New England has allowed the second-most yards per attempt, the fourth-most passing yards per game, and the fifth-highest CPOE.
Rhamondre Stevenson‘s workload this week is up in the air. He was parked on the bench last week after two fumbles, and during drills this week in practice, he was the third running back up behind TreVeyon Henderson and Antonio Gibson. The Mike Vrabel doghouse can be cold and unforgiving. I wouldn’t be shocked if Stevenson only saw a handful of touches this week, so if you’re plugging Stevenson into a lineup because of the matchup with Carolina, just understand you could be punching your own ticket for the pain train. Outside of the fumbles, Stevenson has been quite good this season with a 27% missed tackle rate and 2.86 yards after contact per attempt. If Stevenson can get on the field, he should have a nice day. Carolina has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards per game, the ninth-highest explosive run rate, and the second-most yards after contact per attempt.
Concerning Starts & Players to Fade
Players in consideration for lineups, but temper your expectations this week.
Chuba Hubbard is the RB11 in fantasy points per game, averaging 17.6 touches and 80.7 total yards. He is 13th in snap share, 18th in opportunity share, and tenth in weighted opportunities among running backs. Hubbard has 43 carries this season and hasn’t forced a missed tackle or generated an explosive run. He has only 1.91 yards after contact per attempt. He is getting by with volume and touchdowns, which he could continue to do in 2025, but it’s also possible that Rico Dowdle eventually eats into this workload if he remains this inefficient. Hubbard will need all the volume and touchdown equity he can get his hands on this week. New England’s secondary has been questionable, but their run defense has not. They have held rushers to the seventh-lowest explosive run rate, the second-fewest rushing yards per game, and had the fifth-highest stuff rate. Hubbard has been listed as questionable this week (calf). If you have Hubbard, pick up Rico Dowdle in case he misses this week.
Over the last two games, Kayshon Boutte has been a ghost. He has had a 68.8% route share, a 5% target share, 22 receiving yards per game, and a 6% first-read share. It hasn’t been pretty, and I don’t think it gets better this week. The Panthers have allowed the fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers this season. Sit Boutte.
Xavier Legette is dealing with a hamstring injury and has been ruled out for this week.
**The Patriots continue to deploy a wide receiver by committee approach behind Kayshon Boutte. Last week, Stefon Diggs had only a 55.3% route share and an 8.1% target share. DeMario Douglas only managed a 46.8% route share. Unless their route shares or target shares in this offense climb, no one will be playable in fantasy from this passing attack outside of Hunter Henry and Kayshon Boutte.**
