Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 3 Rankings
|
1.
Tony Pollard
RB - DAL (at ARI)
Pollard is the RB6 in fantasy, playing 64% of the snaps per week. He's averaged 25 touches and 95.5 total yards while ranking first in expected fantasy points per game. His efficiency numbers are lagging, which has me slightly concerned. Among 48 qualifying running backs, he's 43rd in missed tackles forced per attempt and 32nd in yards after contact per attempt. I'm not sounding the alarm yet, but this is something to monitor. Arizona has put a tough run defense on the field weekly. They have the tenth-lowest missed tackles allowed per attempt, the eighth-lowest yards after contact per attempt allowed, and the eighth-lowest yards per carry allowed to gap runs (Pollard 64% gap). Week 3 Positional Value: RB1

2.
Christian McCaffrey
RB - SF (vs . NYG)
Well, so much for lightening McCaffrey's load this season. McCaffrey has played at least 85% of the snaps in each game, with 100% of the snaps in Week 2. He's averaged 24 touches and 152 total yards so far, putting an exclamation point on his status as the best running back in the NFL. McCaffrey has been in vintage form so far, ranking 13th in missed tackles forced per attempt and third in yards after contact per attempt. He's having a ball running behind an offensive line that ranks ninth-best in yards before contact per attempt. McCaffrey should have no problems posting another strong outing against a run defense that's 17th in stuff rate, 14th in missed tackles allowed per attempt, and 15th in yards after contact per attempt allowed. Week 3 Positional Value: Top Shelf RB1

3.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (vs . LAC)
You are starting Jefferson weekly. The matchup doesn't matter. The opposing defense doesn't matter. Jefferson is unguardable. Plain and simple. He's eighth in Target share, 11th in air-yard share, and fifth in YPRR among wideouts as the WR4 in fantasy. He'll run about 76% of his routes against Asante Samuel (85.7% catch rate and 118.8 passer rating) and J.C. Jackson (46.2% catch rate and 72.0 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR1 overall

4.
Bijan Robinson
RB - ATL (at DET)
Robinson saw his snap share climb in Week 2 to 72% (Week 1 63%). Robinson has averaged 19.5 touches and 127.5 total yards this season as the RB5 in fantasy. Robinson leads the NFL in percentage of runs, gaining at least five-plus yards. He's also seventh in missed tackles forced per attempt and 13th in yards after contact per attempt. Robinson has also been as good as advertised as a dynamic pass-game weapon. He's second in routes run per team dropback rate, first in Target share (22.0%), and tenth in yards per route run among running backs (minimum 15 routes). Detroit has been a tough run defense so far. They have the 13th-highest stuff rate, sixth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the fifth-lowest yards before contact per attempt allowed. Robinson's pass-game role will help him weather any efficiency woes this week. The Lions have deployed zone coverage on 60-66% of their corner's snaps this season. Against zone, Robinson leads the team with a 21.4% Target share. Week 3 Positional Value: Matchup proof RB1
|
|
5.
Derrick Henry
RB - TEN (at CLE)
Henry dominated snaps in Week 2 (71%) as the Titans surprised everyone (including myself) and kept the game close before pulling out the win. The spread for this game indicates another close affair in Week 3, so Henry should see a 60% snap rate this week. Henry has averaged 22.5 touches and 107 total yards as the RB11 in fantasy points per game. While the Browns have the top stuff rate in the NFL their other run defense metrics are lagging. Cleveland has the highest missed tackles allowed rate and the third-highest yards after contact per attempt allowed. Week 3 Positional Value: Solid RB1
|
|
6.
Tyreek Hill
WR - MIA (vs . DEN)
Week 3 is another week for Hill as the primary weapon against man coverage. Denver has the sixth-most (tied) dropbacks defended in man coverage this season. Against man coverage, Hill has a 32% Target share, 39% TPRR, and 4.1 YPRR. These numbers are astronomical. Insane. Hill will run about 62% of his routes against Pat Surtain (57.1% catch rate and 69.3 passer rating) and Damarri Mathis (88.2% catch rate and 149.9 passer rating). Smash Hill. Smash. Week 3 Positional Value: Top-three WR
|
|
7.
Kenneth Walker III
RB - SEA (vs . CAR)
Walker has maintained his firm grip on the starter's job ahead of Zach Charbonnet. He's averaged 62% of the snaps with 17 touches and 60.5 total yards. Walker is sixth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 28th in yards after contact per attempt. Carolina is a plus matchup for Walker. They have the fourth-lowest stuff rate, rank 15th in missed tackles allowed per attempt, and are sixth-worst in yards after contact per attempt allowed. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end RB1
|
|
8.
Josh Jacobs
RB - LV (vs . PIT)
Jacobs remains the Raiders' bell cow, averaging 76% of the snaps played with 17.5 touches and 60 total yards. Despite the lockdown on work, it's been a tough start to the season for Jacobs. Jacobs has the third-highest stuff rate, ranks 24th in missed tackles per attempt, and has the eighth-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Jacobs can't escape all of the blame, but his offensive is part of the problem. Las Vegas has the eighth-lowest yards before contact per attempt. The Steelers' swiss cheese run defense could be the get-right elixir this week. Pittsburgh has surrendered the sixth-highest missed tackles allowed rate, the highest yards after contact per attempt, and the fourth-highest explosive run rate. Week 3 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
9.
Travis Etienne Jr.
RB - JAC (vs . HOU)
Etienne is Jacksonville's workhorse back. He's averaged 76% of snaps played with 18.5 touches and 73 total yards as the RB19 in fantasy. Houston is an exploitable run defense. They have the tenth-lowest stuff rate while giving up the 11th-most missed tackles per attempt and sitting at 16th in yards after contact per attempt allowed. Etienne's had half of his carries come on zone runs where he has been more effective (4.87 ypc vs. 2.93 ypc with gap). Houston is 16th in yards per carry allowed on zone runs. Week 3 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
10.
Joe Mixon
RB - CIN (vs . LAR)
Mixon has played 63-78% of the snaps, averaging 16.5 touches and 84 total yards. He has a 13.8% Target share, a 45.5% route run per team dropback rate, and 1.51 YPRR. Mixon ranks 13th in yards after contact per attempt and 25th in elusive rating. Mixon is primed for a monster day. The Rams have allowed the seventh-highest explosive run rate, the eighth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the highest yards per carry in the NFL to zone runs (6.9 ypc). Half of Mixon's runs have come on zone plays. Week 3 Positional Value: Top-shelf RB1
|
|
11.
Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - DET (vs . ATL)
Gibbs played 48% of the snaps last week with 14 touches and 56 total yards. My thoughts for everyone upset with his early season usage...please understand it when I say that you are missing the boat here if you're upset. Last week, Gibbs saw a 25.7% Target share. He got nine targets. NINE! Was the result amazing? No. Is his usage the problem? Nope. Talent is not the problem. Usage is not the problem. Gibbs' best days are ahead of him. He's 11th in yards after contact per attempt and tenth in elusive rating. Gibbs has been the superb receiving talent that we thought he was entering this season, as he ranks 11th in receiving grade and fourth in YPRR. Gibbs is set up well to have a breakout performance this week. Atlanta has allowed the 11th-highest explosive run rate, has the tenth-worst stuff rate, and the 11th-worst yards after contact per attempt. Week 3 Positional Value: Borderline RB1
|
|
12.
A.J. Brown
WR - PHI (at TB)
The Buccaneers have gone extremely zone-heavy this season. They are deploying their corners in zone on 76-83% of their coverage snaps. Brown has a 23.1% Target share and 20% TPRR against zone this season. Both of those marks are second to DeVonta Smith. I won't fret over Brown's 1.32 YPRR so far against zone. That strikes me as a small sample variance rather than an indicator of his talent slipping. Brown's 35% first-read share, which is first on the team, also alludes to the fact that these numbers could flip easily with a few more games. Brown will run about 81% of his routes against Jamel Dean (72.7% catch rate and 144.5 passer rating) and Zyon McCollum (50% catch rate and 56.3 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
13.
Kyren Williams
RB - LAR (at CIN)
Williams played 95% of the snaps last week, making Cam Akers expendable. He handled 20 touches, churning out 100 total yards with an 18.1% Target share. Among 48 qualified backs, Williams ranks 25th in yards after contact per attempt and 26th in elusive rating. While these aren't eye-popping numbers, volume is king, and Williams is the king of the Los Angeles backfield. Cincinnati has allowed the eighth-highest explosive run rate. This run defense also has the second-worst missed tackles allowed rate. The Bengals have given up the seventh-highest yards per carry to gap runs (Williams 82.8% gap). Week 3 Positional Value: Matchup-proof RB1
|
|
14.
Travis Kelce
TE - KC (vs . CHI)
Kelce played 64% of the snaps last week, and he still led the team with a 22.0% Target share. He had a 36% TPRR and 1.04 YPRR as he drew nine targets. Hopefully, another week post-injury, we see Kelce closer to a full snap share, but even on limited reps, he's still a lock for eight or more targets. The lesson is that if Kelce is active, you play him. End of story. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-start always
|
|
15.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (at ARI)
Lamb leads the team with a 27% Target share and a 36.5% air-yard share as the WR12 in fantasy. Arizona has utilized zone coverage on 61% of their corner's snaps. Lamb last season ranked 14th in receiving grade and seventh in YPRR against zone. Against zone coverage, Lamb leads the team with a 34.2% Target share, and he's second behind only Brandin Cooks (36.4%) in first-read share (34.8%). Lamb will run about 75% of his routes against Jalen Thompson (2022: 68.1% catch rate and 103.2 passer rating in slot coverage). Week 3 Positional Value: Elite WR1
|
|
16.
Raheem Mostert
RB - MIA (vs . DEN)
The Dolphins have had no fear in giving Mostert a bellcow role. He's played 73% of the snaps in each game, averaging 15.5 touches and 83.5 total yards as the RB9 in fantasy. Mostert isn't running like a 31-year-old back. Among 48 qualifying running backs, he's 23rd in missed tackles forced per attempt and 20th in yards after contact per attempt. Mostert should be able to find running lanes again this week. Denver has allowed the sixth-most missed tackles, the tenth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the tenth-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Mostert 64% zone). Week 3 Positional Value: low-end RB1/high-end RB2
|
|
17.
Stefon Diggs
WR - BUF (at WAS)
Diggs is the WR10 in fantasy with a 25.6% Target share (17th-best), a 36.4% air-yard share, and 2.10 YPRR (28th). He has the sixth-highest first-read share among wideouts. Sixth. Best. This is a Diggs domination game in the making. He led the Bills in deep targets last year (35), so if Allen is going deep, look for Diggs to be a part of the equation. Diggs will run about 58% of his routes against Kendall Fuller (57.1% catch rate and 65.8 passer rating) and Emmanuel Forbes (66.7% catch rate and 70.1 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: Top-three WR
|
|
18.
James Cook
RB - BUF (at WAS)
Cook has been the Bills' workhorse with 59% of the snaps each week, averaging 18.5 touches and 111 total yards as the RB12 in fantasy. Cook is the RB12 in fantasy despite scoring zero touchdowns. Let that sink in. Yes, I know the Bills have had five running attempts inside the five-yard line, and zero have gone Cook's direction. The fact is that he will not continue to score zero touchdowns this season. When he does start breaking some big plays into the end zone we're talking about a possible top-six fantasy back. Cook has the tenth-lowest stuff rate, the 11th-highest missed tackles forced per attempt, and the 11th-highest yards after contact per attempt. Washington has been another mixed-bag run defense. They have the sixth-lowest stuff rate and the second-highest rate of runs of five or more yards allowed, but they also have the fifth-lowest missed tackles allowed per attempt and the 11th-lowest yards per carry allowed to gap runs (Cook 86% gap). Don't expect Cook to get much going through the air, as Washington allowed the 11th-lowest yards per reception to backs last season. Week 3 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
19.
Rhamondre Stevenson
RB - NE (at NYJ)
Stevenson has been the Patriots' bell-cow, playing 73% of the snaps weekly, averaging 18 touches and 74.5 total yards as the RB13 in fantasy. Stevenson has not looked like himself so far this season. He has the third-lowest yards after contact per attempt and the 17th-lowest elusive rating. This isn't the fault of the Patriots' offensive line either, as they are ninth-best in yards before contact per attempt. He has been up to snuff in the passing game, though he ranks 17th in receiving grade and 14th in YPRR. Temper your expectations for Stevenson this week with his struggling play and a tough matchup. New York is 16th in stuff rate but also has given up the sixth-lowest missed tackles per attempt and the fourth-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Week 3 Positional Value: volume-driven low-end RB1/high-end RB2
|
|
20.
Davante Adams
WR - LV (vs . PIT)
Adams practiced in full to open the week, so I expect him to play in Week 3. Adams remains one of the best wide receivers in the game with a 34.0% Target share, a 45.7% air-yard share, and 3.00 YPRR. Adams will run about 75% of his routes against Patrick Peterson (60% catch rate and 130.0 passer rating) and Levi Wallace (72.7% catch rate and 99.8 passer rating). Adams is second on the team behind Meyers in red zone targets. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end WR1
|
|
21.
Brian Robinson Jr.
RB - WAS (vs . BUF)
Robinson has been the Commanders' lead back, playing 52-61% of the snaps. He has averaged 20 touches and 97.5 total yards as the RB5 in fantasy. Robinson has been average to below-average, depending on what tackle-breaking metrics you are peering at. Among 48 qualified backs, he is 23rd in yards after contact per attempt and 36th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Buffalo has been hit or miss as a run defense, but they set up nicely this week to defend Robinson. Buffalo has the seventh-highest stuff rate but also the 12th-lowest missed tackles allowed per attempt and the second-highest yards after contact per attempt given up. Buffalo has permitted the lowest yards per carry in the NFL (0.46) to zone runs (Robinson 56.8% zone). Robinson is a lock for 15-20 touches this week. Week 3 Positional Value: volume-fueled RB2
|
|
22.
Miles Sanders
RB - CAR (at SEA)
Sanders is the Panthers' clear lead back. He's played 57-62% of the snaps, averaging 19.5 touches and 72.5 total yards. Sanders has not been efficient with his touches, though. Among 48 qualified running backs, he ranks 45th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 42nd in yards after contact per attempt. These numbers are WOOF-worthy. Sanders is headed for a week of uphill sledding against Seattle. The Seahawks have the sixth-best stuff rate while also holding rushers to the 12th-lowest yards after contact per attempt. They have also stifled zone runs, yielding the second-lowest yards per carry (1.45). Sanders has seen 62.5% of his runs on zone plays. Week 3 Positional Value: volume-based RB2/3
|
|
23.
Alexander Mattison
RB - MIN (vs . LAC)
Mattison has played the workhorse role for Minnesota with at least 73% of the snaps in each game. Sadly, it hasn't translated to volume or production on a pass-first and pass-often offense. Mattison has averaged 12.5 touches and 41.5 total yards. With the volume Mattison has received, he has not been explosive or efficient with it. Among 48 qualifying running backs, he ranks 33rd in yards after contact per attempt, 43rd in elusive rating, and he has recorded zero breakaway runs. Luckily for Mattison, this is a get-right spot. The Chargers have the ninth-lowest stuff rate, have given up the eighth-highest rate of 10-plus yard runs, and rank ninth-worst in yards after contact per attempt allowed. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end RB2
|
|
24.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (vs . ATL)
St. Brown didn't practice on Wednesday, but he logged a limited session on Thursday and a full practice on Friday. He's been listed as questionable. I expect him to play right now and handle his usual complement of snaps. An in-game setback is possible, so tread cautiously, but in most formats, if you have him, you're probably forced to start him. St. Brown has a 22.9% Target share while ranking 21st in TPRR and tenth in YPRR among wide receivers. He will run about 50% of his routes against Dee Alford (85.7% catch rate and 138.4 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
25.
Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (vs . LAR)
The talent hasn't gone anywhere. This offense is just in a funk as Burrow is clearly not 100%. Toss out the efficiency numbers because the talent is still there for Chase, so I won't get hung up on his YPRR. Chase has commanded a 23.3% Target share and a 28.7% air yard share. Better days are ahead for this passing attack. Chase will run about 76% of his routes against Ahkello Witherspoon (50% catch rate and 78.1 passer rating) and Derion Kendrick (40% catch rate and 81.3 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
26.
Joshua Kelley
RB - LAC (at MIN)
Kelley will be the team's workhorse again this week. In Week 2, he played 79% of the snaps with 13 touches and 39 total yards. The matchup with the Titans was brutal. That's not the case this week. Don't let a one-week sample as the team's starter with disappointing results in a wretched matchup push you away from Kelley this week. In the preseason, among 104 qualifying backs, Kelley ranked first in yards after contact per attempt and 14th in elusive rating. In Week 1, he had 2.81 yards after contact per attempt with his 16 rushing attempts. Minnesota has the second-lowest stuff rate this season, but they have also held opposing runners to the 13th-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Let's break this tie with what Minnesota has allowed to zone runs. This season, they have permitted the fourth-highest yards per carry to zone runs. In Kelley's career, 53.6% of his runs have been on zone plays (2022: 44.8%). Week 3 Positional Value: RB2 with RB1 upside
|
|
27.
Calvin Ridley
WR - JAC (vs . HOU)
Ridley has a 24.3% Target share and a 37.5% air-yard share with 2.05 YPRR. He is second on the team with a 25.9% first-read Target share. Some of that is skewed after last week's game when Christian Kirk had 31.3% of his targets on designed plays. Ridley has also been the Jaguars zone coverage go-to leading the team by a substantial margin in Target share, TPRR, and first-read share. Ridley is tied with Zay Jones for the team lead in red zone targets. They are the only receiving options that Lawrence has looked at inside the 20 this season. Ridley will be peppered this week as he runs about 84% of his routes against Steven Nelson (66.7% catch rate and 40.3 passer rating) and Shaquill Griffin (2022: 68.8% catch rate and 125.0 passer rating. Week 3 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
28.
Deebo Samuel
WR - SF (vs . NYG)
Samuel is the team's zone coverage attack plan, so he should take a step back this week with Aiyuk as the leading receiving option. Last year, Samuel had a 16.3% Target share, 16% TPRR, and 1.41 YPRR against man coverage. He ranked third amongst the big three receiving weapons (Samuel, Kittle, & Aiyuk) in percentage of team receiving yards against man coverage. Samuel will run about 57% of his routes against Jackson and Banks. Week 3 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
29.
Keenan Allen
WR - LAC (at MIN)
I was told in the offseason that Allen was too old and injury-prone to be a WR1 in 2023. After two games, he is the WR6 in fantasy, commanding a 25.7% Target share, a 31.5% air-yard share, and a 29.4% first-read share. Allen is 12th in receiving grade and 17th in YPRR. Against zone coverage, the Chargers have been a two-headed attack with Allen and Mike Williams leading the way, so expect Allen to GET FED here. Allen will run about 60% of his routes against Harrison Smith, who allowed a 76.4% catch rate and 129.0 in slot coverage last season. Week 3 Positional Value: Top-five WR
|
|
30.
DeVonta Smith
WR - PHI (at TB)
Smith leads the team with a 25.6% Target share and 3.21 YPRR against zone this season. He also ranks first in TPRR while sitting in second in first-read share, tied with Dallas Goedert. Smith and Brown each have one red zone target each this season. Smith will run about 82% of his routes against Dean and McCollum. Week 3 Positional Value: Top-15 WR with WR1 upside
|
|
31.
Isiah Pacheco
RB - KC (vs . CHI)
Pacheco missed practice to open the week before logging limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. He has been listed as questionable. Pacheco has averaged 12.5 touches and 62 total yards while playing 48-51% of the snaps. It's difficult to imagine that Kansas City will push him into a higher snap role on a gimpy hammy this week. Pacheco ranks 31st in yards after contact per attempt and 19th in elusive rating. The Bears' run defense has the tenth-highest stuff rate and ranks 16th in yards after contact per attempt allowed. They have limited gap runs to the seventh-lowest yards per carry (Pacheco 60% gap). Week 3 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
32.
Chris Olave
WR - NO (at GB)
Olave leads the team with a 30% Target share and 41.2% air-yard share as the WR15 in fantasy. Olave is fifth in receiving grade and tenth in YPRR among receivers. He should lead the way in attacking the Packers deep this week. He leads the team with six deep targets. His prowess on go routes will also factor in heavily this week. Last season, Olave had a 34.8% Target share (20th), 39% TPRR (30th), and the 17th-highest YPRR on go routes (among 82 qualifying wide receivers). This matters a ton because the Packers have struggled against go routes in each of the last two seasons. Last year, Green Bay allowed the second-highest yards per attempt, third-highest adjusted completion rate, and the second-most passing touchdowns to go routes (per Fantasy Points Data). Olave has been running almost half of his routes from the slot, so he'll get plenty of reps against Keisean Nixon (88.9% catch rate and 135.6 passer rating) this week. Olave leads the team with a 31.1% first-read share (Thomas 26.7%, Shaheed 15.6%). The Packers have utilized zone coverage on 79-83% of their corner's snaps. Olave leads the team in nearly every category against zone. Week 3 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
33.
Najee Harris
RB - PIT (at LV)
Harris has played 52-57% of the snaps weekly, averaging 9.5 touches and 38 total yards. He's splitting time with Warren, but he has recently shown some life. He ranks 13th in missed tackles forced per attempt and seventh in yards after contact per attempt. Las Vegas has the eighth-lowest stuff rate and the fourth-highest yards after contact per attempt allowed. If Harris wants to try and put some distance between him and Warren, here's his shot. The Raiders have allowed the seventh-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Harris 56.3% zone). Week 3 Positional Value: low-end RB2/high-end RB3
|
|
34.
D'Andre Swift
RB - PHI (at TB)
Swift exploded in Week 2 as the team's starter with 75% of the snaps played with 31 touches and 181 total yards as the RB4 for the week. After that performance, it's difficult to see Swift letting go of the starter's job, but we have to see Gainwell's status for Week 3 to diagnose this backfield. I'll update his outlook on Saturday at the latest once we get the first practice reports back for this game. Week 3 Positional Value: TBD
|
|
35.
Zack Moss
RB - IND (at BAL)
Moss finished as the RB10 last week. He played 98% of the snaps with 22 touches and 107 total yards. Among 48 qualifying running backs, he ranks ninth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 15th in yards after contact per attempt. Moss should get all the volume he can handle this week, but temper your expectations some. Baltimore is only 15th in stuff rate, but they have held opposing backs to the 11th-lowest missed tackles allowed rate and the 12th-lowest yards per carry on zone runs (Moss 77% zone in Week 2). Week 3 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
36.
Gus Edwards
RB - BAL (vs . IND)
Edwards takes over the lead role this week with Hill sidelined. This is not a matchup where I'll rush to plug Edwards into my lineups. First off, the Baltimore offensive line is banged up. Tyler Linderbaum is out, and so is Ronnie Stanley. Secondly, this is a nightmare matchup for the Gus Bus. The bus has flat tires this year. Among 49 qualifying running backs, Edwards ranks 41st in yards after contact per attempt and tied for dead last in elusive rating with Devin Singletary, Ezekiel Elliott, and Deon Jackson. That's not good. Not good at all. Indy has been an elite run defense this season. They have allowed the fifth-lowest explosive run rate. They also boast the fourth-best stuff rate and have the eighth-lowest missed tackles allowed per attempt. Week 3 Positional Value: Touchdown or bust flex play
|
|
37.
James Conner
RB - ARI (vs . DAL)
Conner is operating as Arizona's bell-cow, averaging 78% of the snaps with 21 touches and 88 total yards. Among 48 qualifying backs, Conner ranks 19th in missed tackles forced per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. Conner is 17th in expected fantasy points per game. Dallas is just as tough on the ground as they are through the air. The Cowboys have the 13th-lowest stuff rate, but the rest of their metrics are elite. Dallas has the third-lowest missed tackles allowed rate, the fifth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the second-lowest yards per carry to gap runs (Conner 54% gap). Week 3 Positional Value: Volume-based RB2/3
|
|
38.
Puka Nacua
WR - LAR (at CIN)
Puka Juice is the WR3 in fantasy, leading the league in Target share (36.6%), TPRR (40%), and sitting at seventh in YPRR (3.13). Nacua is also third in first read rate behind only Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson. Nacua will run about 69% of his routes against Cam Taylor-Britt (50% catch rate and 81.7 passer rating) and Chidobe Awuzie (75% catch rate and 135.4 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
39.
Mike Williams
WR - LAC (at MIN)
Williams has been the 1B in this offense with a 24.3% Target share, a 32.1% air yard share, and a 29.4% first-read share. He has been Allen's running mate against zone coverage, with nearly identical numbers across the board. He got out the gate in Week 1 slowly, so he's lagging behind Allen, ranking 33rd in receiving grade and 30th in yards per route run. When Herbert isn't zeroing in on Allen, he'll feed Williams targets. Williams will run about 63% of his routes against Byron Murphy (87.5% catch rate and 90.6 passer rating) and Akayleb Evans (54.5% catch rate and 106.3 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: low-end WR1/high-end WR2

Rachaad White
RB - TB (vs . PHI)
White has played 72-79% of snaps, averaging 20.5 touches and 76 total yards. I worry that White's hold on this job is loosening. Chase Edmonds was getting a ton of run early in last week's game before leaving due to injury. Maybe White has tightened his grip with last week's game, but I still have a bad spider sense vibe. Among 48 qualifying backs, White ranks 30th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 34th in yards after contact per attempt. He still hasn't managed one explosive run this season. Add all of this on top of pedestrian tackle-breaking numbers from last season, and the worry gets real. Fast. The Eagles are a brick wall against rushing attacks. They have the 11th-best stuff rate, the lowest missed tackles allowed rate, and they haven't allowed an explosive run yet. Good luck, Mr. White. Week 3 Positional Value: Volume-based low-end RB2/high-end RB3

Mike Evans
WR - TB (vs . PHI)
Evans has been a happy surprise this season. He has a 25.0% Target share, a 48.7% air-yard share, and 3.89 YPRR as the WR5 in fantasy. The Evans and Mayfield connection clicking like clockwork was not on my bingo card for 2023, but here we are. Evans will run about 78% of his routes against Darius Slay (73.3% catch rate and 91.3 passer rating) and James Bradberry (60% catch rate and 123.3 passer rating), assuming he has recovered from his concussion. Week 3 Positional Value: WR2

|
42.
Jerome Ford
RB - CLE (vs . TEN)
Ford will be one of the top waiver wire pickups this week. The news of Nick Chubb's injury is devastating. With Chubb lost for the season, Ford takes over as the team's starting do-it-all back. He played 49% of the snaps, finishing with 19 touches and 131 total yards as the RB6 in Week 2. Ford is a talented player, ranking sixth in yards after contact per attempt and 17th in elusive rating. Ford only had a 25% route per team dropback rate in the fourth quarter of Week 2 (Pierre Strong 15%), so he might not be the undisputed passing down back in Week 3. Tennesse's run defense remains an elite unit. They have the third-highest stuff rate, second-lowest rate of runs of 5-plus yards, sixth-lowest missed tackles, and third-lowest yards after contact per attempt allowed. Keep expectations in check for Ford this week. Week 3 Positional Value: volume-based RB2/high-end RB3

43.
Amari Cooper
WR - CLE (vs . TEN)
Cooper came into this week nursing an injury, but you could never tell that based on his play in Week 2. He had a 79% route run per team dropback rate, drawing a 22.5% Target share and a 32.3% air yard share (2.31 YPRR). Cooper is the clear first read for Watson, with a 30.6% first-read share. Assuming his health holds up heading into Week 3, Cooper is poised for another strong outing against a pass funnel defense. Cooper will run about 68% of his routes against Sean Murphy-Bunting (66.7% catch rate and 129.4 passer rating) and Kristian Fulton (75% catch rate and 116.7 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
44.
DK Metcalf
WR - SEA (vs . CAR)
Metcalf has a 16.4% Target share and a 36.0% air-yard share. Among 60 qualifying wide receivers, he ranks 21st in receiving grade and 26th in YPRR. Metcalf will take a step back this week against the Panther's zone-heavy defense. This season, the divide versus zone has widened even farther between Lockett and Metcalf. Metcalf only has a 14% Target share and an 18.5% first-read share. Metcalf is a threat for a big play or touchdown in any week (second on the team in red zone targets), so there's only so far you can drop him in the rankings. Metcalf will run about 77% of his routes against Jackson and Henderson. Metcalf is banged up with a rib issue. He didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday and has been listed as questionable. Week 3 Positional Value: Low-end WR2/WR3
|
|
45.
George Pickens
WR - PIT (at LV)
Last week without Diontae Johnson, Pickens had a 30% Target share, a 66.0% air yard share, and 4.54 YPRR. Pickens had a 46.7% first-read share. He popped off with 127 receiving yards on nine targets. As long as Johnson is sidelined, Pickens should continue to see this type of insane volume. He will run about 90% of his routes against Marcus Peters (81.8% catch rate and 92.4 passer rating) and Jakorian Bennett (90.9% catch rate and 143.6 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
46.
Javonte Williams
RB - DEN (at MIA)
Williams is being eased in. He has played 45% of the snaps in each game, averaging 15.5 touches and 57.5 total yards. Among 48 qualifying running backs, he's 18th in yards after contact per attempt and 16th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Williams has also been chipping in on passing downs, ranking third on the team with a 13.6% Target share. He's sixth in receiving grade and 18th in YPRR among 33 qualifying backs. Miami has the lowest stuff rate allowed while giving up the seventh-highest rate of runs of five or more yards. The Dolphins have been a middling run defense, permitting the eighth-most missed tackles and 13th-highest yards after contact per attempt. Williams should also have a good day through the air against a team that allowed the seventh-most receiving yards and 12th-highest yards per reception to running backs last season. Week 3 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
47.
Tyler Allgeier
RB - ATL (at DET)
In Week 2, Allgeier saw his snaps drop to 44% while still earning 16 rushing attempts (zero targets), churning out 48 rushing yards. Allgeier is a talented early-down rusher. Among 45 qualifying running backs, he ranks 20th in missed tackles forced per attempt and fifth in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). With Allgeier's pass game usage drying up and this being a tough-on-paper matchup for rushing, this would be a good week to sit him. Week 3 Positional Value: Middle of the road flex play/RB3
|
|
48.
Dameon Pierce
RB - HOU (at JAC)
Pierce has not been the workhorse that I hoped for entering the season. He's averaged only 46% of the snaps, 15 touches, and 41 total yards. He's losing routes and snaps to Devon Singletary and Mike Boone weekly. He's not breaking tackles at the same rate as last season, but I have to mention that his offensive line isn't helping him out. Among 48 qualifying running backs, Pierce ranks 27th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 26th in yards after contact per attempt. This is behind an offensive line that has managed the fifth-lowest yards before contact. Pierce's prospects in Week 3 look bleak. He faces a Jacksonville run defense with the second-best stuff rate, missed tackles allowed per attempt, and yards after contact per attempt. Houston will have to move the ball through the air this week. Week 3 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
49.
Breece Hall
RB - NYJ (vs . NE)
The Jets are easing Hall into the season. He's averaged 32% of snaps played with only 7.5 touches per game. His long runs in Week 1 skewed his per-game numbers with 78 total yards per game, but last week was a good reminder of his weekly floor with only nine total yards with six opportunities. Hall ranks fifth in missed tackles forced per attempt and eighth in rate of runs for five or more yards. Hall faces a run defense with the ninth-highest stuff rate, the 12th-lowest missed tackles forced allowed, and the 11th-lowest yards after contact per attempt allowed. The saving grace for Hall could be New England's issues stopping zone runs. They have allowed the third-highest yards per carry to zone runs. The issue for Hall and Dalvin Cook is that New York has moved toward more gap runs this season (Hall 42% zone, Cook 23.5% zone). Week 3 Positional Value: low-floor RB3
|
|
50.
Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (vs . LAR)
The same thing I said for Chase holds true for HIggins. Trash the efficiency metrics. These players are not old. They are not washed. They are not over the hill. This offense is out of sorts. As soon as Burrow is back to some semblance of health, this offense will start clicking. Higgins has a 26.0% Target share and a 55.1% air yard share. He'll run about 79% of his routes against Witherspoon and Kendrick. Week 3 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
51.
Tyler Lockett
WR - SEA (vs . CAR)
Lockett leads the team with a 20.9% Target share and a 41.1% air yard share. He remains the team's preferred weapon against zone coverage (CAR 58-70% zone with their corners), with a 20% Target share and a team-leading 22.2% first-read share. Lockett leads the team with four red zone targets. Lockett will run about 68% of his routes against Donte Jackson (54.5% catch rate and 84.7 passer rating) and C.J. Henderson (85.7% catch rate and 118.8 passer rating). Chef Geno will lean on Lockett this week, especially with D.K. Metcalf banged up. Week 3 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
52.
Mark Andrews
TE - BAL (vs . IND)
Last week, in his first game action, Andrews had a 75% route run per team dropback rate, a 24.2% Target share, 27% TPRR, and 1.50 YPRR. As you can see from the above chart, he's the clear number-one option for the team against zone coverage. Andrews should feast this week. Last season, Indy allowed the sixth-highest yards per reception to tight ends. This year, they have permitted the ninth-most receiving yards and 11th-highest yards per reception to the position. Week 3 Positional Value: Top-three TE
|
|
53.
Garrett Wilson
WR - NYJ (vs . NE)
Wilson has had an amazing run out the last two weeks, with a touchdown-saving his day in Week 1 and a long touchdown in Week 2 doing the same. He has a 24.5% Target share and a 48.5% air yard share, which is amazing until you realize it's amounted to only six targets and 58.5 receiving yards per game. He can't sustain this type of output as the WR23 all season with Zach Wilson under center. Wilson will run about 80% of his routes against Christian Gonzalez (66.7% catch rate and 58.5 passer rating) and some combination of Shaun Wade and Marcus Jones (combined have allowed a 66.7% catch rate and 40 receiving yards total). Week 3 Positional Value: WR4
|
|
54.
Zay Flowers
WR - BAL (vs . IND)
Flowers has a 27.3% Target share and a 21.8% air yard share. Among 60 qualifying wide receivers, he's ranked 16th in receiving grade and YPRR. In Week 1, he drew a ridiculous 45.5% Target share and 60% first read share. Yes, a large portion of that first-read share was related to screens. In Week 2, his usage came crashing back to earth with a 15.2% Target share and a 19.2% first-read share. That first-read share was still good for second-best on the team, though. Against zone coverage (excluding designed or screen targets), Flowers leads the team in YPRR, but he falls down the pecking order in TPRR and first-read share. Flowers will run about 62% of his routes against Dallis Flowers (50% catch rate and 100.0 passer rating) and Darrell Baker Jr. (61.5% catch rate and 125.8 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
55.
T.J. Hockenson
TE - MIN (vs . LAC)
Hockenson has a 19.3% Target share, ranking third in receiving grade and ninth in YPRR. He's the TE1 overall in fantasy right now. He faces a Bolts' defense that allowed the 12th-most receiving yards and second-highest yards per reception to tight ends last season. Week 3 Positional Value: Top 3-5 TE
|
|
56.
DJ Moore
WR - CHI (at KC)
After being shadowed by Jaire Alexander in Week 1, Moore broke out in Week 2. He has a 20.7% Target share, a 32.6% air yard share, 3.25 YPRR, and a 30% first-read share. Moore is tied for the team lead in deep targets, so if Fields is looking to chuck it deep, Moore will be a part of that game plan. Moore will run about 79% of his routes against L'Jarius Sneed (63.6% catch rate and 90.7 passer rating) and Joshua Williams (25% catch rate and 45.8 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
57.
Nico Collins
WR - HOU (at JAC)
Collins has been crushing it this season. He's the WR6 with the fourth-most air yards in the NFL. He has a 22.0% Target share and a 40.7% air yard share. He is eighth in YPRR, immediately behind #PukaJuice. Collins will lead the way again this week against the Jaguars' zone coverage. He leads the team in Target share, TPRR, YPRR, and first-read share against zone. Collins will run about 80% of his routes against Tyson Campbell (77.8% catch rate and 94.7 passer rating) and Darious Williams (72.7% catch rate and 102.8 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
58.
Khalil Herbert
RB - CHI (at KC)
Herbert saw the biggest bump from D'Onta Foreman being a healthy scratch last week. Herbert played 60% of the snaps with eight touches and 58 total yards. Herbert ranks 13th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 22nd in yards after contact per attempt. The Chiefs' run defense has been pliable with the 12th-lowest stuff rate, the eighth-highest missed tackles allowed rate, and the 12th-highest yards after contact per attempt allowed. The problem for Herbert is that 56% of his runs have been on zone plays. The Chiefs have allowed the sixth-lowest yards per carry to zone runs. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end RB3
|
|
59.
Terry McLaurin
WR - WAS (vs . BUF)
Terry McLaurin has struggled out of the gate. He has a 15.8% Target share and a 28.5% air yard share. Those numbers aren't frightening, but he also ranks 51st in receiving grade and 43rd in YPRR. That's where the "oh my" comes into play. This is probably injury-related and small sample variance, but it's still noteworthy. McLaurin will run about 84% of his routes against Tre'Davious White (75% catch rate and 125.5 passer rating) and Christian Benford (33.3% catch rate and 52.1 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
60.
Chris Godwin
WR - TB (vs . PHI)
Godwin has a 19.1% Target share and a 25.5% air yard share as he leads the team with three red zone targets. This could be a Godwin week. I lean in that direction because of Avonte Maddox's major injury. Maddox is out with a torn pec, so Mario Goodrich has stepped in as the nickel. Goodrich has only six targets defended in the NFL, and he has allowed all six to be secured with a 147.9 passer rating in coverage. Godwin can show him the ropes of the NFL with some on-the-job experience. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end WR2
|
|
61.
Michael Pittman Jr.
WR - IND (at BAL)
Pittman has been a target hog. He has a 30.6% Target share, a 36.3% air yard share, and a whopping 39.6% first-read share. Among 60 qualifying receivers, he's 26th in YPRR. He is second on the team (Downs, three) with two red zone targets. He'll run about 75% of his routes against Brandon Stephens (57.1% catch rate and 71.7 passer rating) and Ronald Darby (50% catch rate and 99.0 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
62.
Christian Kirk
WR - JAC (vs . HOU)
In Week 2, Kirk had a 77.6% route run rate per team drop back, with a 33.3% Target share in Week 2. While his numbers in Week 1 were disappointing, with Zay Jones out this week, Kirk will be a full-time player in two wide receiver sets that likely kicks into the slot when they go three wide. Last year, with Zay Jones out in Week 4, Kirk played 48% of his snaps in the slot and 44% on the perimeter. When he's outside, he'll face Nelson and Griffin, but when he runs from the slot, he will see M.J. Stewart in coverage (Career: 75.7% catch rate and 115.6 passer rating). The injuries to this Texans' secondary will loom large this week. Derek Stingley, Jalen Pitre, and Tavierre Thomas have all been ruled out. Kirk should ball out again this week. Week 3 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
63.
Jerry Jeudy
WR - DEN (at MIA)
Jeudy was slow out the gate with a 15.6% Target share and a 13.0% air yard share (0.76 YPRR), but his underlying usage is very encouraging. While he was not blowing up the boxscore in his first game back, he had an 81% route run per team dropback rate and a 33.0% first-read share. The high route total means he is somewhere close to full health, and the heavy first-read usage foretells that the target volume is coming. The closest receiver to that number for first reads is Sutton at a disappointing 17.2%. Jeudy will run about 73% of his routes from the slot against Kader Kohou (66.9% catch rate and 85.7 passer rating allowed in his career). Week 3 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
64.
DeAndre Hopkins
WR - TEN (at CLE)
Hopkins gutted it out through injury last week with a 65% route run per team dropback rate. Through two games, he has a 29.3% Target share and 35.8% air yard share. Despite being banged up, he still led the team with a 25% first-read share. Hopkins ranks second on the team behind Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in red zone targets. Hopkins will run about 62% of his routes against Denzel Ward (53.3% catch rate and 107.6 passer rating) and Martin Emerson (12.5% catch rate and 39.6 passer rating).Hopkins' practice participation declined throughout the week, but he's expected to play. He started with a full practice on Wednesday before a limited session on Thursday, and he missed Friday's practice. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end WR3/Must-Sit if you have comparable options
|
|
65.
AJ Dillon
RB - GB (vs . NO)
In Week 2, Dillon played 68% of the snaps last week with 16 touches and 63 total yards as the Packers lead back. Assuming Jones is active this week, Dillon falls back into his complementary role. In Week 1, Dillon handled 48% of the snaps with 15 touches (36 total yards). Among 49 qualifying backs, Dillon ranks 34th in yards after contact per attempt and 38th in elusive rating. Dillon is an uninspiring flex. Week 3 Positional Value: RB3/4
|
|
66.
Jordan Addison
WR - MIN (vs . LAC)
Addison is inching closer weekly to supplanting K.J. Osborn as the team's starter in two wide sets. His route run per team dropback rate increased from 61.7% to 71.7% last week. Addison has drawn only a 12.5% Target share, a 26.2% air yard share, and a 12.3% first-read share despite his 2.15 YPRR. This passing offense heavily flows through Jefferson, and Hockenson is the number two after him, so Addison has his work cut out to possibly supplant Hockenson as the WR2 in the target tree. Addison will run about 73% of his routes against Samuel and Jackson. Week 3 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
67.
Drake London
WR - ATL (at DET)
After finishing with a goose egg in Week 1 with only one target, London got things going in Week 2. He commanded a 25% Target share a 30% air yard share, and manufactured 2.09 YPRR. London was the WR19 in fantasy scoring last week. Talent is not a problem for London, but weekly pass game volume and quarterback play definitely are. Against the Lions' stout run defense, the Falcons could be forced to throw more than they want. If that happens, London can post another productive stat line. Last year, he was fifth in receiving grade and 12th in YPRR against zone coverage. London will run about 86% of his routes against Cameron Sutton (66.7% catch rate and 88.9 passer rating) and Jerry Jacobs (73.3% catch rate and 127.5 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR3 with WR2 upside
|
|
68.
Jahan Dotson
WR - WAS (vs . BUF)
Dotson hasn't started the season off strong either. He has a 19.0% Target share and a 24.2% air yard share, but he's done very little with it. Among 60 qualifying wide receivers, Dotson ranks 52nd in receiving grade and 57th in YPRR. Dotson leads the receiving group in weighted opportunity (WOPR). This doesn't feel like the spot where Dotson begins to turn things around. He'll run about half of his routes against Benford and White. Week 3 Positional Value: WR4/5
|
|
69.
George Kittle
TE - SF (vs . NYG)
Kittle has a 16.7% Target share, a 10.8% air yard share, and 1.07 YPRR after two games. He's third on the team with a 15.8% first-read share. Kittle took a backseat last season against man coverage, so temper your expectations in Week 3. The matchup does lend itself for him to possibly be the second read this week for Purdy over Samuel, though. Last season, New York allowed the ninth-most receiving yards and 11th-most fantasy points to tight ends. Week 3 Positional Value: Top-12 TE option
|
|
70.
Gabe Davis
WR - BUF (at WAS)
Davis remains Josh Allen's second in command when he looks to go deep. Davis was second on the team in deep targets (sixth-most among wide receivers) last year. This season, he has a 14.8% Target share and a 30.5% air yard share. Davis ranks 26th in receiving grade and 36th in YPRR. We've seen Davis have huge outings when Allen's deep ball is on display, which could easily happen in Week 3. Davis will run about 84% of his routes against Fuller and Forbes. Week 3 Positional Value: WR3 with massive upside
|
|
71.
Jaylen Warren
RB - PIT (at LV)
Warren has played 40-43% of the snaps weekly, averaging nine touches and 52 total yards. Among 53 qualifying running backs, Warren ranks fifth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 28th in yards after contact per attempt. Warren is a pass-game weapon with a 13.2% Target share and 38.1% route run per team dropback rate. Among 24 qualifying backs, he's eighth in receiving grade and second in YPRR behind only Josh Jacobs. Warren can not only rip the Raiders on zone runs (66% zone), but he can have a solid day through the air. Last year, Las Vegas allowed the most receiving yards, the fourth-highest yards per reception, and the fourth-most receptions to running backs. Week 3 Positional Value: RB3 with RB2 upside
|
|
72.
Tutu Atwell
WR - LAR (at CIN)
Atwell has an 18.3% Target share and a 29.8% air yard share. He ranks 17th and 18th in receiving grade and YPRR. Atwell hasn't drawn a red zone target. McVay has been utilizing him in motion and bunch formations to get him free releases off the line. He'll run about 57% of his routes against Taylor-Britt and Awuzie. Week 3 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
73.
Michael Thomas
WR - NO (at GB)
If any wide receiver could get shadow coverage from Jaire Alexander, it's probably Thomas. Alexander followed D.J. Moore on 55% of his routes in Week 1. He held Moore to goose eggs across the board with zero targets or receiving yards. Thomas has a 22.9% Target share and 22.3% air-yard share with 1.76 YPRR as the WR41 in fantasy. Thomas has looked like the vintage Thomas. He's been second in command against zone coverage behind only Olave. If Alexander doesn't follow Thomas, he'll run about 72% of his routes against Alexander (75% catch rate and 156.3 passer rating) and Rasul Douglas (63.6% catch rate and 41.9 passer rating). Thomas has been the go to receiver in the red zone (tied for the sixth-most red zone targets in the NFL). Week 3 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
74.
Roschon Johnson
RB - CHI (at KC)
Johnson has played 39-42% of the snaps, averaging 8.5 touches and 48.5 total yards. This would be the perfect spot to unleash Johnson, but I don't have faith in the Chicago coaching staff to do that. Among 53 qualifying running backs, Johnson ranks 30th in missed tackles forced per attempt and ninth-best in yards after contact per attempt. The key for Johnson here is that 60% of his runs have come on gap plays. These are the Chiefs' kryptonite. They have allowed the 11th-highest yards per carry (4.5) and ninth-highest success rate to gap runs. Week 3 Positional Value: RB3/4
|
|
75.
Elijah Moore
WR - CLE (vs . TEN)
Moore truthers might have to face tough facts that rookie season Eliah Moore might never return. After two games, he has a 21.7% Target share and 22% TPRR, but he's done very little with the volume. Among 60 qualifying wide receivers, he's 48th in receiving grade and 46th in YPRR. He ranks 42nd in first read share among that same sample of receivers. Watson isn't playing good football, but Moore isn't blowing the doors off so far in 2023. Moore will run about half of his routes against Roger McCreary (50% catch rate and 62.5 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR4
|
|
76.
Darren Waller
TE - NYG (at SF)
Waller looked healthy in Week 2. He ranked fifth in route run per team dropback rate (80%) among tight ends. He was second in target volume (tied with Mark Andrews), behind only Travis Kelce. Waller was also fourth among tight ends in percentage of the team's receiving yardage in Week 2. Waller had a 21.6% Target share and a 20% air yard share. Over the last three years, Waller has ranked 16th, tenth, and sixth in receiving grade against zone coverage. The 49ers were tough against tight ends last season, allowing the 11th-fewest receiving yards, sixth-lowest yards per reception, and eighth-fewest touchdowns. Week 3 Positional Value: Top-Five TE
|
|
77.
Courtland Sutton
WR - DEN (at MIA)
Sutton has an 18.2% Target share and a 30.4% air yard share. His first read share (17.2%) and efficiency have been disappointing. Sutton could very well be past his prime at this point. Without Jeudy in the lineup, he was unable to command heavy volume. Among 60 qualifying wide receivers, he ranks 30th in receiving grade and 39th in YPRR. He'll run about 79% of his routes against Xavien Howard (68.8% catch rate and 55.5 passer rating) and Eli Apple (64.3% catch rate and 84.5 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR4
|
|
78.
Marquise Brown
WR - ARI (vs . DAL)
Marquise Brown has a 24.6% Target share and a 30.5% air yard share with a 34.9% first read share. Among 60 qualifying wide receivers, he ranks 37th in receiving grade and 41st in YPRR. Dallas has been utilizing their outside corners in man coverage on 49% of their snaps. Last year, among 83 wide receivers, Brown ranked 21st in receiving grade and 31st in YPRR against man coverage. Brown will run about 79% of his routes against DaRon Bland (50% catch rate and 16.7 passer rating) and Stephon Gilmore(53.8% catch rate and 86.1 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR4
|
|
79.
Rashid Shaheed
WR - NO (at GB)
With every passing week, Shaheed continues to prove that his small sample rookie season efficiency majesty isn't a fluke. He has a 14.3% Target share and a 21.0% air yard share as the WR26 in fantasy. His output against zone coverage over the last two seasons has been incredible, with 3.73 and 3.44 YPRR. Shaheed and Olave are Carr's paths to a ceiling performance on the back of deep targets. Shaheed is second on the team with four deep targets. He's also a go-route savant. This season, he's been targeted on 57% of his go routes and leads the team with four go route targets. Shaheed will run about 63% of his routes against Alexander and Douglas. Week 3 Positional Value: WR3/4 with WR2 upside this week
|
|
80.
Aaron Jones
RB - GB (vs . NO)
Jones has been listed as questionable this week. He opened the week with a DNP before stacking back-to-back limited practice sessions. I think Jones will be active this week, but I'm not so sure he handles his usual workload. In Week 1, Jones played 47% of the snaps with 11 touches and 127 total yards. Among 54 qualifying backs, he ranks 44th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 23rd in yards after contact per attempt. New Orleans has the 13th-highest stuff rate, the third-highest missed tackles allowed per attempt, and the 11th-lowest yards per carry allowed to zone runs (2022: Jones 64% zone). It's a mixed bag, but most of the early season metrics point to the Saints being an above-average run defense this season. Week 3 Positional Value: Low-end RB2/high-end RB3

81.
Dalvin Cook
RB - NYJ (vs . NE)
Cook has averaged 43% of the snaps through two games with 10.5 touches and 35.5 total yards per game. Cook looks like a shell of his former self. Among 48 qualifying running backs, he has the ninth-highest stuff rate, ranking 25th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 36th in yards after contact per attempt. The feather in Cook's cap is that he has dominated the red zone work. He looks like a lock for 10-12 touches per week with healthy touchdown equity in this offense. Week 3 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
82.
Josh Reynolds
WR - DET (vs . ATL)
Reynolds is running hot. He's the WR12 in fantasy after two stellar games. He has a 17.1% Target share and 31.4% air yard share as a trusted weapon for Goff. Reynolds ranks ninth in receiving grade and 14th in YPRR. While I doubt he keeps up this torrid pace all season, we still have to tip the cap to Reynolds. Reynolds has run the team's second-most slot routes to only St. Brown. If St. Brown can't go, don't be surprised if Reynolds sees his slot rate bump even higher (48% slot). Reynolds will run about half of his routes (maybe more) against Dee Alford (85.7% catch rate and 138.4 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR4 with WR2/3 upside
|
|
83.
Dallas Goedert
TE - PHI (at TB)
Goedert has a 17.9% Target share with a 30% first-read share against zone this season. His 0.50 YPRR doesn't worry me at all. Last year, he ranked sixth in receiving grade and YPRR against zone, so I'm chalking that inefficiency up to a small sample variance. Tampa Bay is a plus matchup for Goedert. The Buccaneers have allowed the 13th-most receiving yards to tight ends this season. Last year, they gave up the seventh-most fantasy points and the 11th-most receiving yards to the position. Week 3 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
84.
Jakobi Meyers
WR - LV (vs . PIT)
Meyers will be back this week after clearing the concussion protocol. Meyers was the WR2 overall in Week 1 with a 38.5% Target share and 37.7% air yard share. Obviously, I don't expect Meyers to continue this torrid pace, but it was an impressive game regardless. In a game where I expect Garoppolo to struggle against this secondary, it's tough to get excited about Meyers regardless of his strong Week 1. He'll run about 88% of his routes against Peterson and Wallace. Week 3 Positional Value: WR4
|
|
85.
Samaje Perine
RB - DEN (at MIA)
Perine has played 45% and 50% of the snaps in the first two games. Sadly, that only equates to averaging eight touches and 51 total yards. Perine hasn't had enough volume or scoring opportunities. Some of that can be traced to Sean Payton's pass-heavy approach. The team is not only top-12 in passing rate but second in red zone passing rate. Perine has been efficient with his rushing opportunities, ranking 12th in yards after contact per attempt and fourth in elusive rating. There's a path to a solid day with a plus matchup incoming in Week 3. Week 3 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
86.
Matt Breida
RB - NYG (at SF)
Breida likely gets the starting nod this week with Saquon Barkley injured. He could lose some work to Gary Brightwell, so don't look at Breida as a locked-in workhorse in the Barkley mold. This is a brutal matchup for Breida, who will work behind an offensive line that's 22nd in yards before contact per attempt. The 49ers have given up the fourth-lowest missed tackles allowed per attempt, the third-fewest missed tackles, and the seventh-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Breida is not a bet I want to make on talent overcoming a rough situation. He has never crested 3.0 yards after contact per attempt in his career, and his breakaway run rate has dropped in each of the last three seasons. Week 3 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
87.
Romeo Doubs
WR - GB (vs . NO)
Doubs has earned a 15.7% Target share and a 19.2% air yard share this season. He's 24th in receiving grade and 47th in YPRR with a 64% route run per team dropback rate. While he opened the season with two scores in Week 1, we can't rely on those touchdowns weekly. We should look elsewhere if we're looking for strong receiving yardage totals to balance out the touchdown valleys. Doubs has surpassed 50 receiving yards in only three career games. I doubt he will make it four this week. Doubs will run about 81% of his routes against Marshon Lattimore (37.5% catch rate and 9.4 passer rating) and Paulson Adebo (55.6% catch rate and 43.5 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR5
|
|
88.
Treylon Burks
WR - TEN (at CLE)
Burks has been disappointing. He has a 12.1% Target share, a 20.1% air yard share, and an 11.9% first read share (fourth on the team). He's been the team's field stretcher, leading the team with two deep targets (14.4 aDOT). Burks should be a must-sit for most teams. He'll run about 54% of his routes against Ward and Emerson. Week 3 Positional Value: WR5
|
|
89.
Jayden Reed
WR - GB (vs . NO)
Reed has been incredible on a limited route volume. He's only seen a 57% route run per team dropback rate. Among wide receivers with at least 25 routes (141 WRs), Reed is 24th in Target share (23.5%), third in TPRR (38%), and 17th in YPRR (2.66). Reed's role is holding him back. He's stuck in a part-time slot role on a low-volume passing offense. Until he can break free and become a full-time player, his upside is capped regardless of how good he is on a per-route basis. Reed will run about 65% of his routes against Alontae Taylor (80% catch rate and 105.2 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR4/5
|
|
90.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - SEA (vs . CAR)
Smith-Njigba remains a sit and hold. He's only seen a 60% route per team dropback rate. He's not seeing enough snaps or target volume (16.4%) to overcome his insane 1.6 aDOT. This remains a situation where I believe the team is protecting Smith-Njigba until he's fully healthy, so for now, we watch and wait. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-Sit
|
|
91.
Evan Engram
TE - JAC (vs . HOU)
Engram has a 17.6% Target share and a 20.7% first-read share. He ranks third in receiving grade and sixth in YPRR among tight ends (minimum six targets). Engram has been stonewalled in the red zone, as only Ridley and Jones have drawn targets inside the 20. Houston is 17th in receiving yards allowed to tight ends, but they have allowed the sixth-highest yards per reception. Week 3 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
92.
Tank Dell
WR - HOU (at JAC)
Dell was impressive in his first game as a full-time starter last week. He played 79% of the snaps while leading the team with a 21.3% Target share and ranking second to only Collins with a 21.9% first-read share. Dell also led the team in TPRR against zone coverage with 28% (Collins 24%, Woods 16%). Dell will run about 68% of his routes against Campbell and Williams. Don't be surprised if he leads the team in targets again in Week 3. Week 3 Positional Value: WR3/4 with WR2 upside
|
|
93.
Adam Thielen
WR - CAR (at SEA)
Thielen came alive in Week 2 with a 27.3% Target share, a 32.4% air yard share, and a 25% TPRR. He finished with 1.5 YPRR and a miniscule 6.4 aDOT. Seattle has utilized zone coverage on 53-71% of their corner's snaps this season. Theilen has shown his age this season against zone with a 7% TPRR, 0.49 YPRR, and 14.2% first-read share. Thielen will run about 76% of his routes against Coby Bryant (85.7% catch rate and 102.4 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR4
|
|
94.
Sam LaPorta
TE - DET (vs . ATL)
Around here, we stan Sammy Ballgame. Don't look now, rookie tight-end haters. LaPorta is the TE6 in fantasy points per game. He's sixth in receiving grade, third in YPRR, and 11th in YAC per reception. Last week, his route run per team dropback rate ranked seventh (78.4%). Last year, Atlanta allowed the seventh-most receiving yards and the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends. This season, they have surrendered the 11th-most fantasy points to the position. Week 3 Positional Value: Locked-in TE1
|
|
95.
Skyy Moore
WR - KC (vs . CHI)
I wish I could recommend Moore as a start after his 54-yard scamper last week, but I can't. He only has a 63.3% route run per team dropback rate, a 10% Target share, and an 18% air yard share. Moore is tied for fifth on the team with Noah Gray with an 11.1% first-read share. There's nothing here to twist or turn to talk yourself into playing Moore. Could he go off against this burnable secondary? Yep. It's possible, but it's not probable. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit
|
|
96.
Chuba Hubbard
RB - CAR (at SEA)
Hubbard has played 36-37% of the snaps, averaging nine touches and 59.5 total yards. With this limited snap rate and volume, you're praying for efficiency if you're considering flexing him. That likely doesn't happen here against Seattle's tough run defense. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit
|
|
97.
Kendre Miller
RB - NO (at GB)
|
|
98.
Kyle Pitts
TE - ATL (at DET)
Pitts has a 16.0% Target share and a 34.0% air-yard share, which sounds great until you realize that Pitts is the TE32 in fantasy points per game. He has not been a priority against zone coverage, ranking third on the team in Target share (14.3%) and fourth in TPRR (15%). Sadly, his TPRR ranks immediately behind fellow tight end Jonnu Smith. Detroit gave up a ton of production to tight ends last season, but that all came against inline tight ends. Against slot tight ends, they allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points (Pitts 50% slot). Week 3 Positional Value: TE2 that can pop off as a TE1 in any week
|
|
99.
Kadarius Toney
WR - KC (vs . CHI)
Toney is now dealing with a toe injury. He didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday before getting in a limited practice on Friday. Toney has played 25-28% of the snaps weekly, averaging five targets, three receptions, and only 18 receiving yards. He remains banged up, so I doubt his snaps will rise more than previous levels this week. Toney is a touchdown or bust desperation flex play. Even if you're tossing flex darts this week, there are shinier ones in the box to choose from. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit
|
|
100.
David Njoku
TE - CLE (vs . TEN)
Let's continue our lovely ride on the pain train. Njoku's name value in fantasy circles has eclipsed his production this season. He's currently the TE29 in fantasy points per game, immediately behind Tyler Conklin. He's running a route on 75% of the team dropbacks, but that hasn't helped Watson to look his way. Among 38 qualifying tight ends, he ranks 27th in Target share, 25th in first-read share, and 22nd in YPRR. This could be the matchup to get him going, though. Tennessee has allowed the seventh-most receiving yards and third-highest yards per reception to tight ends. They had similar struggles stopping tight ends last year, giving up the most receiving yards and sixth-highest yards per reception to the position. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end TE1
|
|
101.
Taysom Hill
TE - NO (at GB)
|
|
102.
Kendrick Bourne
WR - NE (at NYJ)
Bourne saw his playing time dwindle in the first game with Parker back. I was worried he was likely fantasy fool's gold, and that's been proven true already. He had a 46% route run per team dropback in Week 2. Drop him from your rosters. Week 3 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
103.
Craig Reynolds
RB - DET (vs . ATL)
|
|
104.
Hunter Henry
TE - NE (at NYJ)
Henry is the TE2 in fantasy, which is more telling about the position this season than Henry's performance. Henry has a 65% route run per team dropback rate and a 13.5% Target share. Don't get me wrong. He has been solid, but not TE2 overall spectacular. Henry is seventh in receiving grade and 12th in YPRR. Last year, New York allowed the ninth-highest yards per reception, sixth-most receiving yards, and the ninth-most fantasy points to tight ends. All of this sounds fantastic, but also remember Henry hasn't crossed the 30-yard receiving threshold in his last two meetings against this defense. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end TE1/high-end TE2
|
|
105.
Pat Freiermuth
TE - PIT (at LV)
It's sad, but as bad as Pickett has been playing, Freiermuth has been downgraded to a matchup-based streaming option. Freiermuth's usage has been abysmal. He's only seen a 58.3% route run per team dropback rate with a 6.6% Target share and 0.10 YPRR. The matchup is right this week, though. The Raiders have allowed the tenth-most receiving yards, the eighth-highest catch rate, and the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends. Week 3 Positional Value: TE2 matchup-based streamer
|
|
106.
Tyjae Spears
RB - TEN (at CLE)
Spears saw his snap share fall from 54% to 37% last week. I'm projecting a similar workload this week with a close spread. Last week, Spears had ten touches that he turned into 55 total yards. Spears is an explosive player, so I won't discount his ability to rip off a big run in this game. He's fourth in yards after contact per attempt with the second-highest elusive rating among backs. Week 3 Positional Value: Coin flip flex play
|
|
107.
Tyler Boyd
WR - CIN (vs . LAR)
Tyler Boyd is droppable. His 13.7% Target share, 11.3% air yard share, and 16.7% first-read share are all replaceable numbers with a possibly younger receiver off the waiver wire. Week 3 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
108.
K.J. Osborn
WR - MIN (vs . LAC)
Osborn is the Vikings version of Josh Palmer. He is a dependable veteran who should be pushed aside for the talented rookie in terms of playing time and target rate. Osborn has an 86% route run per team dropback rate and a 13.6% Target share, but he mustered 0.81 YPRR. We know who Osborn is at this juncture. Play the rookie. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit / Cut bait
|
|
109.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling
WR - KC (vs . CHI)
Valdes-Scantling is a must-sit. He's been supplanted as the team's deep threat (13.8 aDOT). Last week he had a pretty matchup against a team that struggled against the deep ball and he did nothing. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit
|
|
110.
Van Jefferson
WR - LAR (at CIN)
This van has flat tires. Jefferson is droppable. He has only managed a 9.7% Target share and 0.39 YPRR while taking a backseat to Nacua and Atwell. Week 3 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
111.
Rashod Bateman
WR - BAL (vs . IND)
With Beckham Jr. out, Bateman likely takes over the starting spot outside opposite Zay Flowers. Nelson Agholor worked in last, but he has run 70.4% of his routes from the slot this season (72.2% last week). Agholor and Bateman play two very different roles in this offense. Last week, Bateman ran 80% of his routes on the perimeter. Bateman could be bumped up into a full-time role this week. He saw his route run per team dropback rate increase from 48.4% in Week 1 to 52.5% in Week 2. If we zoom in further, in the second half of last week's game, Bateman ran a route on 75% of the team's dropbacks, which was tied with Mark Andrews for second on the team behind only Flowers. The talent has always been present with Bateman. This week, it looks like we get Bateman finally unleashed in a full-time role. With his 23% TPRR and 2.00 YPRR against zone this year, he could explode this week while running his routes against the burnable perimeter cornerback duo of Flowers and Baker Jr. Week 3 Positional Value: WR3/4 with WR2 upside
|
|
112.
Robert Woods
WR - HOU (at JAC)
Woods is the third option in this passing attack. Last week, he took over the slot role from Noah Brown (IR). Woods saw a 19.1% Target share and a 24.4% air-yard share with 1.68 YPRR. He was the first read on 18.8% of passing plays. Woods has also been the third option against zone. He'll see Tre Herndon (80% catch rate and 98.3 passer rating) on about 61% of his routes. Week 3 Positional Value: WR4
|
|
113.
DeVante Parker
WR - NE (at NYJ)
In his first game of the season, Parker had an 87% route per team dropback rate with a 19.0% Target share and a 13.1% air yard share. Last year, Parker was 32nd in receiving grade, 34th in YPRR, and outside the top 70 wide receivers in route win rate. Parker will run about 65% of his routes against D.J. Reed (71.4% catch rate and 88.7 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR5/6
|
|
114.
Donovan Peoples-Jones
WR - CLE (vs . TEN)
Peoples-Jones should not be on a fantasy roster now. He's quickly become an afterthought in this offense. Peoples-Jones has an 81% route run per team dropback rate, which is fantastic, but he's only drawn a 7.2% Target share and 7.4% air yard share. He's the fourth or fifth option in a struggling passing attack. Week 3 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
115.
Elijah Mitchell
RB - SF (vs . NYG)
|
|
116.
Ezekiel Elliott
RB - NE (at NYJ)
Elliott's snap share dropped to 30% last week with only five rushing attempts and 13 total yards. Elliott has been expectedly JAG with only an 8% missed tackles forced per attempt rate and 1.67 yards after contact per attempt. He's no longer a stash or hold in fantasy. Week 3 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
117.
Dalton Kincaid
TE - BUF (at WAS)
Kincaid has mustered a 13.5% Target share and an 8.7% air-yard share while running 55% of his routes from the slot. He is third on the team with two red zone targets. Among 34 qualifying tight ends, he is 20th in receiving grade and 16th in YPRR. Much like with Knox, this isn't the week to play Kincaid. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit TE2
|
|
118.
Kenneth Gainwell
RB - PHI (at TB)
I'll update Gainwell's status on Saturday at the latest once we get the first practice reports back for this game. Stay tuned. Week 3 Positional Value: TBD
|
|
119.
Darius Slayton
WR - NYG (at SF)
Slayton leads the wide receiver room with a 70% route per team dropback rate. He has seen a 14.9% Target share and 34% air yard share, producing 1.22 yards per route run (YPRR). Last season, Slayton ranked fifth on the team in Target share and seventh in targets per route run (TPRR) against zone coverage. Slayton will run about 70% of his snaps against Charvarius Ward (64.7% catch rate, 59.4 passer rating) and Deommodore Lenoir (75% catch rate, 72.0 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR5/6
|
|
120.
Allen Robinson II
WR - PIT (at LV)
|
|
121.
Jake Ferguson
TE - DAL (at ARI)
Ferguson has only a 46.2% route run per team dropback rate. He's seen a 15.9% Target share with a 33% TPRR. Ferguson leads the NFL with seven red zone targets. His touchdown equity in this offense is massive. Last year, Arizona allowed the most receiving touchdowns to tight ends. This season, they have given up the third-most receiving yards and fifth-highest yards per reception to the position. Week 3 Positional Value: TE2 matchup-based streaming option
|
|
122.
Michael Gallup
WR - DAL (at ARI)
Gallup has become an afterthought in this passing attack. Against zone coverage, he has a 10.5% Target share and a 20.4% air-yard share (0.43 YPRR). Gallup has a 13% first-read share (fourth on the team) against zone. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit WR5/6
|
|
123.
Christian Watson
WR - GB (vs . NO)
|
|
124.
Darnell Mooney
WR - CHI (at KC)
Mooney (knee) had back-to-back limited practices to open the week before practicing in full on Friday. Darnell Mooney has only a 10.6% Target share and a 14% TPRR this season. He's the third or possibly fourth option on a struggling passing attack. You likely have stronger flex options this week than Mooney. The Chiefs have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit
|
|
125.
Zach Ertz
TE - ARI (vs . DAL)
Ertz has a 78.5% route run per team dropback rate with a 29.5% Target share, a 27.0% air yard share, and a 30.2% first-read share. He ranks 23rd in receiving grade and seventh in YPRR (minimum six targets). Last year, Dallas allowed the sixth-lowest receiving yards and second-lowest yards per reception to tight ends. Week 3 Positional Value: volume-based TE2 with low-end TE1 upside
|
|
126.
Tyler Higbee
TE - LAR (at CIN)
Higbee has a 9.7% Target share and 79.8% route run per team dropback rate. Higbee is a matchup-based streamer at this point. Like Van Jefferson, he has taken a backseat to Nacua and Atwell. The Bengals offer a good matchup, though. Cincinnati has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends and is tied with the second-most receiving touchdowns allowed to the position. Week 3 Positional Value: TE2
|
|
127.
Curtis Samuel
WR - WAS (vs . BUF)
Samuel hasn't crossed 60 receiving yards this season or played more than 65% of the snaps. Asking Sam Howell to support at least or maybe two pass catchers currently is a struggle, much less a tertiary option like Samuel. Samuel has a 12.7% Target share and a 10.4% air yard share while running about 73% of his routes from the slot. He'll see Taron Johnson (2022: 71.8% catch rate and 107.7 passer rating) in coverage for most of the day. The matchup is good, so if you are in a deep league, he's flex-worthy. Samuel popped up on the injury report on Friday (DNP) with a hip injury. He's been listed as questionable. Week 3 Positional Value: Deep league flex play (if active)
|
|
128.
Antonio Gibson
RB - WAS (vs . BUF)
Gibson isn't a startable player. He's averaging only 4.5 touches and 36.5 total yards per game. This matchup doesn't set up well for Gibson either, as he's been mostly a zone runner. Keep Gibson stashed for now. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit
|
|
129.
JuJu Smith-Schuster
WR - NE (at NYJ)
Smith-Schuster remains a part-time player (48% route per team dropback rate in Week 2). He split the RWR role last week with Kendrick Bourne. Feel free to drop him. Week 3 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
130.
Mack Hollins
WR - ATL (at DET)
|
|
131.
Brandin Cooks
WR - DAL (at ARI)
Cooks opened the week with a limited practice (knee), but he upgraded to back-to-back full sessions to close the week. Cooks doesn't carry an injury designation into Week 3. This season, in his small sample against zone coverage, Cooks has a 33.3% Target share, a 34.2% air-yard share, and a 40% TPRR (2.1 YPRR). Even going back to last season, Cooks still has the juice to get loose against zone. Last season, once Houston came to their senses and transferred Cooks back to a field stretching role, he crushed against zone. After Week 7, among 68 qualifying wide receivers, Cooks ranked 22nd in receiving grade and 21st in YPRR. Cooks will run about 81% of his routes against Marco Wilson (81.3% catch rate and 139.6 passer rating) and Kei'Trel Clark (66.7% catch rate and 95.8 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR3/4 with WR2 upside
|
|
132.
Cole Kmet
TE - CHI (at KC)
Kmet has an 18.2% Target share and a 22.6% air yard share. Among 34 qualifying tight ends, he ranks eighth in receiving grade and 11th in YPRR. Kmet faces a Chiefs' defense that has allowed the eighth-most receiving yards and 11th-most fantasy points to tight ends. Last season, Kansas City gave up the tenth-highest yards per reception and the most fantasy points to slot tight ends (Kmet 51.3% slot rate). Week 3 Positional Value: TE2 with TE1 upside this week
|
|
133.
Jonathan Mingo
WR - CAR (at SEA)
Mingo is an interesting dart throw this week. He leads the team with an 18.3% Target share and a 40.5% air yard share. He hasn't been productive with the volume, with only 0.58 YPRR, but there's hope that this week will lead to better results. Mingo is tied with Thielen for the team lead with a 30.3% first-read share. Mingo buries Thielen in first read share against zone coverage with 33.3% (Thielen 14.3%). Mingo will run about 67% of his routes against Devon Witherspoon (60% catch rate and 143.8 passer rating) and Tre Brown (66.7% catch rate and 107.2 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: upside WR4
|
|
134.
Josh Downs
WR - IND (at BAL)
Downs has managed a 15.3% Target share and 68% route run per team drop back rate. He's only seen a 14.6% first-read share and produced 1.2 YPRR. The matchup is a plus for him this week. He'll run about 89% of his routes against Arthur Maulet (career: 66.7% catch rate and 85.3 passer rating). Downs leads the team with three red zone targets. Week 3 Positional Value: WR4/5 with a good corner matchup
|
|
135.
Marvin Mims Jr.
WR - DEN (at MIA)
Mims is unstartable despite last week's 113 receiving-yard performance. He only ran six routes last week. Mims just drew two deep targets (45.0 aDOT) and converted both for 113 receiving yards. Mims isn't playable until the snaps and routes climb. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-Sit
|
|
136.
Luke Musgrave
TE - GB (vs . NO)
Sit Musgrave this week. That is all. It doesn't have to be complicated. New Orleans has been and remains a shutdown defense against tight ends. This season, the Saints have allowed the second-fewest receiving yards and zero scores to the position. Last year, they gave up the fewest receiving yards, the fewest fantasy points, and only two receiving touchdowns to tight ends. Do not play Musgrave this week. Week 3 Positional Value: Must Sit
|
|
137.
Juwan Johnson
TE - NO (at GB)
Johnson's usage has been borderline TE1-worthy. He has an 11.4% Target share and a 13.3% first-read share. He has run a route on 70.9% of the team's dropbacks. That's not as high as we would like, but it's not terrible. If Thomas gets locked up this week with Alexander, it could push some target volume his way. Last year, Green Bay was quite good against tight ends, allowing the second-fewest receiving yards and sixth-fewest fantasy points to the position. After two games, maybe we are seeing a turning of the tide as Green Bay has allowed the 13th-highest yards per reception and the 12th-most receiving yards to tight ends. Week 3 Positional Value: TE2 with TE1 upside this week.

Tony Jones Jr.
RB - NO (at GB)
Jones Jr. could be the Saints bellcow this week. Jamaal Williams is sidelined with a hamstring issue. Kendre Miller could be out again this week. Jones Jr. played 52% of the snaps last week with 12 carries and 34 rushing yards (two rushing scores). Jones Jr. isn't a flashy player by any means, with his career 2.00 yards after contact per attempt and 20 elusive rating. If you're plugging him into your lineup as a flex or higher, it's related to volume and matchup. Green Bay has the third-lowest stuff rate while allowing the third-most missed tackles and the third-highest rate of 10-plus yard runs. Week 3 Positional Value: RB3 with RB2 upside

139.
Zach Charbonnet
RB - SEA (vs . CAR)
Charbonnet is a handcuff stash only. He's only averaged 26% of snaps played with 4.5 touches and 20.5 total yards. Week 3 Positional Value: Handcuff only
|
|
140.
Dalton Schultz
TE - HOU (at JAC)
Schultz is an afterthought in this offense. He has a 77.4% route run per team dropback rate, but he's only drawn a 9.1% Target share and produced 0.10 YPRR. His Target share only climbs to 9.4% against zone (12% TPRR, 0.15 YPRR). This week, Schultz qualifies as a matchup streamer against a Jaguars defense that has allowed the sixth-most receiving yards and ninth-highest yards per reception to tight ends. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end TE2 matchup-based streaming option

Gerald Everett
TE - LAC (at MIN)
|
|
142.
Jerick McKinnon
RB - KC (vs . CHI)
Mckinnon has averaged 32% of snaps played with only 2.5 touches and 16 total yards per game. These aren't exactly sexy numbers. If you're desperate for a flex play in deep PPR leagues, though, you could do worse than McKinnon this week if you're tossing darts. Last year, Chicago allowed the eighth-highest yards per reception to running backs. This season, they have given up the most receiving yards and the highest yards per reception to opposing backs. Week 3 Positional Value: deep PPR league flex play
|
|
143.
Chigoziem Okonkwo
TE - TEN (at CLE)
Oknokwo has been a major disappointment so far. While he's had a serviceable 66.7% route run per team dropback rate, it hasn't translated into production. He has only a 10.3% Target share and an 11.9% first-read share, which both rank 26th among 38 qualifying tight ends. Add in his 0.76 YPRR, and he's barely even streamer-worthy material. Cleveland was tough against tight ends last season, and that's translated to this year. The Browns have allowed the second-fewest receiving yards to the position and zero touchdowns. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end TE2
|
|
144.
Hayden Hurst
TE - CAR (at SEA)
I feel like cherry-picking. I'm not bothering with Hurst's usage against the no-fly zone for tight ends known as the Saints' defense that he encountered in Week 2. No one should have expected Hurst to do anything against that defense. In Week 1, Hurst had a 64.3% route run per team dropback rate with an 18.4% Target share, 26% TPRR, and 1.52 YPRR. Those are excellent numbers, although I do think the route run rate was higher. Hurst should be a focal point of the passing attack against a defense that has struggled against tight ends over the last two seasons. This year, Seattle has allowed the fourth-most receiving yards and the highest yards per reception to the position. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end TE1
|
|
145.
Joshua Palmer
WR - LAC (at MIN)
Palmer is a must-sit. I probably don't have to tell anyone this, but I thought I'd take a minute to implore the Chargers to take him out of the starting lineup. Palmer is out there running sprints all game and not drawing targets. He has a 64% route run per team dropback rate, but he's only seen an 8.1% Target share and produced 0.31 YPRR. Quentin Johnston needs to get in the lineup because he can offer this offense another playmaking threat. Unfortunately, Palmer, while a solid veteran, simply isn't that. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit / Cut bait
|
|
146.
Tank Bigsby
RB - JAC (vs . HOU)
Bigsby is a stash only. He's averaged only 20% of the snaps and didn't record a touch last week. Week 3 Positional Value: Stash only
|
|
147.
Dawson Knox
TE - BUF (at WAS)
Knox has a 12.1% Target share and ranks second behind only Diggs in red zone targets on the team. Among 34 qualifying tight ends, he is 31st in receiving grade and YPRR. This isn't the week to consider streaming Knox. Last year, Washington allowed the fifth-fewest receiving yards to tight ends and the tenth-fewest fantasy points to slot tight ends (Knox 52% slot rate). Week 3 Positional Value: low-end TE2
|
|
148.
Allen Lazard
WR - NYJ (vs . NE)
|
|
149.
Cade Otton
TE - TB (vs . PHI)
Otton has a strong 76% route run per team dropback rate with a 13.2% Target share and 16% TPRR. He's a strong matchup-based streamer this week. Philly has allowed the second-most receiving yards and the most receiving touchdowns to tight ends this season. Week 3 Positional Value: TE2 with TE1 upside
|
|
150.
DJ Chark Jr.
WR - CAR (at SEA)
With Chark, we're in wait-and-see mode. Last week, he only ran a route on 56% of the team's dropbacks with a 3% Target share. We'll see if his snaps are upgraded this week. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit

Isaiah Hodgins
WR - NYG (at SF)
Hodgins has an 11.9% Target share and 16.0% air yard share as Jones' preferred end zone target. Hodgins leads the team with two end-zone targets (one score). Last year, he ranked 21st in receiving grade and 30th in YPRR against zone coverage (minimum 13 zone targets). If you're looking at flexing any Giant wide receiver, it should be Hodgins. He's the apple of Jones' eye in scoring position and the best zone weapon they have outside of Darren Waller. Hodgins will run about 90% of his routes against Ward and Lenoir. Week 3 Positional Value: WR5

Kylen Granson
TE - IND (at BAL)
Granson has a 64.6% route run per team dropback rate and a 13.9% Target share. These are TE2-worthy streamer-worthy numbers when the right matchup presents itself. Sadly, that is not this week. This season, Baltimore has held tight ends to the fifth-fewest receiving yards and second-lowest yards per reception. They were tough against the position last season as well, holding tight ends to the seventh-fewest receiving yards and ninth-fewest fantasy points. Week 3 Positional Value: Must-sit TE2
|
|
165.
Alec Pierce
WR - IND (at BAL)
Drop Pierce from your rosters. He has commanded only a 6.9% Target share (nice and a 12.4% air yard share despite running a route on 76.8% of dropbacks. This is not good, Bob. Week 3 Positional Value: Droppable

166.
Sean Tucker
RB - TB (vs . PHI)
|
|
167.
Durham Smythe
TE - MIA (vs . DEN)
Smythe is also in the streaming conversation this week. He has been an every-down player for the Dolphins with an 85% route run per team dropback rate. He has a 13.3% Target share (1.00 YPRR) with one red zone target. Denver has been a turnstile for tight ends for the last two seasons. Last year, they gave up the fifth-most receiving yard and fantasy point. This season so far, they have yielded the 11th-most receiving yards and the ninth-most fantasy points.

Adam Trautman
TE - DEN (at MIA)
Trautman enters the streaming category this week. His 9.1% Target share, 0.71 YPRR, and 60.8% route run per team dropback don't scream upside, but the matchup is sexy. Last season, Miami allowed the eighth-most receiving yards and third-most fantasy points to tight ends. This season, it's been much of the same as the Dolphins have surrendered the fifth-most receiving yards and the second-most fantasy points to tight ends. Week 3 Positional Value: Top-shelf TE streaming option
|
|
171.
Chase Claypool
WR - CHI (at KC)
Last week, Claypool had a 24.1% Target share, a 41.4% air yard share, and 1.71 YPRR. He was second to only Moore with a 25% first-read share. Claypool has been a disappointing player, with multiple clips of lack-of-effort reps hitting social media. The talent is in there somewhere, but I wonder if we'll ever see it again flourish on an NFL field. Claypool will run about 82% of his routes against Sneed and Williams. Week 3 Positional Value: WR5

Justin Watson
WR - KC (vs . CHI)
I know this is a deep pull, but hear me out. Watson leads the team with a 24.6 aDOT. I understand he only has a 38.9% route run per team dropback rate. He has a 10% Target share and a 23% TPRR. Watson has a 67% TPRR on deep routes and leads the team with four deep targets. Playing Watson in a deep league is praying for him to connect on one or two deep shots from Mahomes, which can happen. Chicago has allowed the seventh-highest passer rating, 13th-highest adjusted completion rate, and the 11th-highest yards per attempt on deep targets this season. Week 3 Positional Value: deep league flex or desperation flex play

Campbell has a 69% route participation as the team's starting slot receiver (80% slot). He's drawn a 14.9% Target share and a 7.6% air yard share. His 3.6 aDOT hasn't helped him manufacture much after two weeks, with only 0.37 YPRR. Last season, among 83 qualifying wide receivers, Campbell ranked 65th in receiving grade and 74th in YPRR against zone coverage. Campbell will see Isaiah Oliver (88.9% catch rate and 52.1 passer rating) in coverage for most of the game. Week 3 Positional Value: WR6
