Jennings comes up big Week 3


Now that was a strange week of fantasy football. Many of the top scoring fantasy players, especially at quarterback, were players that most fantasy teams didn’t use. And the top scorer for the week, Jauan Jennings, was started in just 25.4 percent of leagues on our site. Needless to say, this caused a lot of low-scoring fantasy games. Hopefully, you were able to get some points this week and squeak out a win.

Jets 24, Patriots 3

Fantasy Stud: Jets defense. The Jets defense completely dominated this game, allowing just three points and 139 total yards of offense. New York also had seven sacks and a fumble recovery. The Jets are quickly putting behind a poor Week 1 defensive performance, showing their teeth in recent weeks. This unit can produce big for fantasy teams

Fantasy Dud: Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson had a hugely disappointing performance, rushing six times for just 23 yards. He also lost a fumble and didn’t catch a single pass. His lack of work in the passing game was the biggest disappointment, really hurting his fantasy floor. Stevenson had at least 17 fantasy points each of his first two games, so don’t get down on him too much over this one. He can rebound.

Game Notes: Rookie Braelon Allen continues to get his chances in the Jets offense. He ran 11 times for 54 yards while Breece Hall had 16 carries for 54 yards. Allen has at least nine touches two straight games.

Aaron Rodgers had his best game as a Jet. He was 27-of-35 for 281 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover. He topped 20 fantasy points for the first time all season

Steelers 20, Chargers 10

Fantasy Stud: Steelers defense. The Steelers defense has been on quite a tear lately. This unit is looking very stout, holding the Chargers to just 168 total yards and 10 points. The Steelers had five sacks in the game. This unit is one of the best in the game right now.

Fantasy Dud: JK Dobbins. Dobbins didn’t do much for the first time this season. He ran 15 times for just 44 yards, averaging just 2.9 yards per carry. Dobbins failed to top double-digit fantasy points for the first time this season. He also broke a streak of two straight 100-yard games. Dobbins is getting a ton of work as the lead back in this run-first offense, which is a big positive despite his down showing in Week 3.

Game Notes: Justin Herbert started but did not finish the game because of his ankle injury. He was 12-of-18 for 125 yards and a touchdown without a turnover before leaving the game.

Calvin Austin was the surprise leading receiver for the Steelers. He had four receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown.

Broncos 26, Bucs 7

Fantasy Stud: Chris Godwin. Godwin continued his great start to the season despite the Bucs struggling in this one. He had six receptions for 53 yards and a touchdown. Godwin has touchdowns each of his first three games and at least 17 points all of those games. He is a must start and elite receiver right now

Fantasy Dud: Rachaad White. White really struggled, rushing six times for just 17 yards. He averaged just 2.8 yards per carry. He did catch five passes but had just 18-receiving yards. So despite the catches, White scored just 8.5 fantasy points. Rookie Bucky Irving outplayed White, rushing nine times for 70 yards.

Game Notes: Tyler Badie is third on the depth chart but led the Broncos in rushing. He had nine carries for 70 yards. He could be getting more play going forward.

Courtland Sutton had seven receptions for 68 yards. Sutton was targeted 11 times, giving him double-digit targets two of three games.

Packers 30, Titans 14

Fantasy Stud: Malik Willis. Willis got another start for the Packers and played a great game. He was 13-of-19 for 202 yards and a touchdown without an interception. He led the team in rushing, running six times for 73 yards and another score. Willis scored 27.4 fantasy points, showing he can be a fantasy factor in a starting role.
   
Fantasy Dud: Calvin Ridley. Ridley was a bust in this one, catching just a pass for nine yards. He was targeted just three times after having 13 targets his first two games. It was an unexpected showing for the Titans No. 1 receiver.

Game Notes: DeAndre Hopkins finally got going, having six receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown. Hopkins had just a catch each of his first two games before this showing.

Will Levis turned the ball over three more times. He was 26-of-34 for 260 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions. He also lost a fumble. Levis has eight turnovers in three games.

Eagles 15, Saints 12

Fantasy Stud: Saquon Barkley. Barkley carried the offense much of the game, having another huge game. He rushed 17 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns. He also had four receptions for nine yards and converted a two-point try. Barkley had 33.6 fantasy points. He has more than 30-fantasy points two of three games. He could end up leading all fantasy running backs in scoring at his current pace

Fantasy Dud: Jalen Hurts. Hurts was not a help to fantasy teams this week. He did hit the 300-yard mark passing but didn’t score a touchdown and turned the ball over twice. Hurts scored just 16.05 fantasy points. It was his first game this season with fewer than 20 fantasy points.

Game Notes: Dallas Goedert had a monster game, catching 10 passes for 170 yards. He did not top 40 yards in a game before this one.

Devonta Smith was knocked from this game because of a concussion. He took a huge hit and had to leave the game. He had seven receptions for 79 yards before leaving.

Giants 21, Browns 15

Fantasy Stud: Malik Nabers. Nabers continues to emerge as an elite fantasy receiver. He finished with eight receptions for 78 yards and two touchdowns. He also had two carries for four yards. Nabers has 28-plus fantasy points two straight games. He is the real deal.
   

Fantasy Dud: Jerome Ford. Ford was held in check, scoring just 10 fantasy points. He ran 10 times for just 37 yards and caught three passes for 33 yards. Ford has 10 or fewer fantasy points two straight games. He isn’t producing quite as big as fantasy teams hoped with Nick Chubb out of the lineup.

Game Notes: Daniel Jones played a good game, going 24-of-34 for 234 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover. He did this against a good Browns defense.

Amari Cooper caught seven passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns. Cooper did next to nothing his first two games, having fewer than five fantasy points each of his first two games. He scored 27.6 fantasy points this week.

Vikings 34, Texans 7

Fantasy Stud: Sam Darnold. Darnold just keeps getting it done. He was even banged up in this game and left for a brief time before returning. He scored four more touchdowns and didn’t turn the ball over. He was 17-of-28 for 181 yards and four touchdowns. Darnold has eight touchdowns in three games, having multiple scores each game

Fantasy Dud: C.J. Stroud. Stroud had a down game for his standards. He was 20-of-31 for 215 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions. Stroud had a season-low 13.95 fantasy points. He has fewer than 20 fantasy points each of his last two games. He has four touchdowns to two interceptions in three games, getting off to a slow start.

Game Notes: Aaron Jones had his first 100-yard game of the season. He had 19 carries for 102 yards. Jones also caught five passes for 46 yards and a touchdown.

Cam Akers started at running back and did very little outside of a receiving touchdown. Akers ran nine times for 21 yards and caught a pass for eight yards.

Colts 21, Bears 16

Fantasy Stud: Cole Kmet. There were three monster performances in this game, but Kmet gets our stud honors. He had 10 receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown. Kmet scored 25.7 fantasy points. He had just five receptions for 31 yards coming into this game. Maybe this huge performance will get him going for the rest of the season

Fantasy Dud: Anthony Richardson. Richardson had his struggles throwing the ball once again. He was 10-of-20 for 167 yards without a touchdown and two interceptions. He rushed eight times for just 24 yards, which didn’t help his fantasy numbers. Richardson scored just 8.75 fantasy points. His fantasy numbers have gone down every game since the start of the season. 

Game Notes: Jonathan Taylor had his second straight 100-yard game and found the end zone two times. Taylor rushed 23 times for 110 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught a pass for 25 yards.

Rome Odunze had his first 100-yard game as a pro. Odunze had six receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown.

Panthers 36, Raiders 22

Fantasy Stud: Andy Dalton. Dalton gave the Panthers offense a huge spark, playing a great game in his first start of the season. He was 26-of-37 for 319 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover. Dalton was about perfect, leading the offense to a ton of yards and points. He is going to keep starting as long as he keeps playing like this. 

Fantasy Dud: Davante Adams. There were a lot of Raiders duds, but we’ll give it to Adams. He was held in check by a defense that has been pretty bad all season. Adams caught four passes for 40 yards. This was the first time all season he failed to hit double-digit fantasy points in a game.

Game Notes: Like many Panthers, Chuba Hubbard had his best game of the season. He ran 21 times for 114 yards and caught five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. Hubbard had 169 total yards and a score.

Diontae Johnson sure enjoyed having Dalton as his quarterback. He had eight receptions for 122 yards. Johnson was targeted 14 times. He had just 12 targets in two games before this.

Seahawks 24, Dolphins 3

Fantasy Stud: Zach Charbonnet, Charbonnet had his showing in a starting role this season, rushing 18 times for 91 yards and two touchdowns. He also had three receptions for 16 yards, giving him 107 total yards. He is about a must start as long as Kenneth Walker is sidelined for the Seahawks.  

Fantasy Dud: Devon Achane. Achane was held in check after a huge game last week. He ran 11 times for just 30 yards. Achane caught three passes for 28 yards. He had just 8.8 fantasy points, which was his first game all season with fewer than 20 fantasy points.

Game Notes: Skylar Thompson was just alright in a starting role, going 13-of-19 for 107 yards without a touchdown or interception. He left the game early hurt because of a rib injury.

DK Metcalf enjoyed his second straight 100-yard game. He had four receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown on six targets.

Lions 20, Cardinals 13

Fantasy Stud: David Montgomery. Montgomery had his first 100-yard rushing game of the season. He had 23 carries for 106 yards and a touchdown. He has touchdowns all three games this season. Montgomery has at least 16 fantasy points every game

Fantasy Dud: Kyler Murray. Murray was not much of a help to fantasy teams this week, going 21-of-34 for 205 yards and a touchdown with an interception. He scored 17.75 fantasy points. He has fewer than 18 fantasy points two of three games this season. Murray looks a lot better this year but still hasn’t been awesome for fantasy teams just yet. 

Game Notes: Sam LaPorta had two receptions for 38 yards but suffered an ankle injury. He had to leave the game early. He tried to return but was unable to last long.

Marvin Harrison Jr. found the end zone for the second straight week. He had five receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets.

Rams 27, 49ers 24

Fantasy Stud: Jauan Jennings. Jennings had a career game, catching 11 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns. He had a game-winning performance for all the fantasy teams that took a chance on him this week. As long as George Kittle and Deebo Samuel are out, Jennings had legit value for fantasy teams. 

Fantasy Dud: Demarcus Robinson. Many thought Robinson might be the guy the Rams lean on in the passing game with all their injuries. Well, that wasn’t the case this week. He had just a catch for 32 yards. It is going to be hard to trust any of these Rams receivers right now. It could be a different one that leads the way any given week. 

Game Notes: Kyren Williams provided much of the offense for the Rams in this one. He had 24 carries for 89 yards and two touchdowns. Williams also had two receptions for 27 yards and another touchdown, giving him three total scores.

Tutu Atwell was the leading receiver for the Rams. He had four receptions for 93 yards.

Ravens 28, Cowboys 25

Fantasy Stud: Derrick Henry. Henry had his best game as a Raven, rushing 25 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught a pass for 23 yards, giving him 174 total yards. Henry scored 30.4 fantasy points. Henry has touchdowns all three games this season.
   

Fantasy Dud: Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott is proving to be a big-time touchdown-dependent fantasy player. He ran three times for six yards. Elliott has 19 carries for 62 yards on the season. The only week he reached double-digit fantasy points was Week 1, the only week he has scored this year.

Game Notes: CeeDee Lamb left the game with some sort of injury. He had four receptions for 67 yards before getting hurt.

Jake Ferguson led the way in the passing game, catching six passes for 95 yards. He returned from his knee injury and looked just fine.

Chiefs 22, Falcons 17

Fantasy Stud: Rashee Rice. If you haven’t figured it out, Rice is a legit No. 1 fantasy receiver. He just keeps getting it done every week, including this week. He had a monster game, finishing with 12 receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. Rice scored a season-high 29.10 fantasy points. He has 17-plus fantasy points every game this season

Fantasy Dud: Travis Kelce. Kelce continues to do next to nothing for fantasy teams. He had four receptions for 30 yards, which were both season highs for him. For the season, Kelce has eight receptions for 69 yards on 12 targets. Kelce has been a huge bust for fantasy teams to date. There is time to get it going but his start is a concern.

Game Notes: Carson Steele got the most work in the Chiefs backfield. He had 17 carriers for 72 yards and caught a pass for two yards. Samaje Perine ran six times for 25 yards.

Darnell Mooney caught eight passes for 66 yards. He has 14-plus fantasy points two straight games and seems to be becoming a favorite target of Kirk Cousins.

Monday Night DFS Pickem Plays

Player Notes
Brian Thomas Jr. Sep 24 1:00am CT
Brian Thomas Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. caught five of nine targets in a 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The rookie first-round receiver had a solid outing despite the blowout and looks like a high upside fantasy option in the future for patient fantasy managers. The Jaguars offense has struggled through three weeks, but BTJ has been solid despite that. In Week 1, BTJ caught a touchdown, in Week 2, he had 94 yards receiving, and in Week 3, he had his most targets and receptions so far. If the LSU product can put it all together, he could be in for a big game very soon. Given his baseline talent level, despite being a part of a rough offense, the rookie receiver should continue to serve as a high upside flex option going forward. BTJ and the Jaguars offense faces yet another tough defense in the Houston Texans in Week 4.

Christian Kirk Sep 24 12:50am CT
Christian Kirk

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk was the team's best performer in an otherwise rough night in a 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Jaguars put up a stinker on Monday Night Football, but fantasy managers who kept faith in Kirk should be happy with an eight catch, 79 yard performance, especially in PPR leagues. That led the team in both categories, a drastic turn from his two catches for 29 yards in the first two games. Despite the good performance, it will still be hard to trust Kirk going forward giving how bad the Jaguars offense has looked so far. The matchups will also not get any easier over the next few weeks, so expectations should remain low for Kirk and the Jaguars offense. However, the former Arizona Cardinal could maintain a WR3 level in PPR leagues if he continues to earn targets. Kirk will look to build on this bounce back performance in Week 4 against the Houston Texans.

Travis Etienne Sep 24 12:40am CT
Travis Etienne

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. was solid despite game script being against him in a 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Etienne Jr. didn't get a touchdown this week for the first time this season, but he put up a solid 68 yards rushing on 11 attempts as well as 17 yards on four receptions. The Clemson product has maintained an RB2 level so far this season, as given the Jaguars offense is struggling, his upside is limited. The Jaguars have faced three good defenses so far, but either way, the offense has not looked good at all. Etienne Jr. has been one of the few bright spots of the offense, and if it can manage to get going anytime soon, he may be in for a big game. For now, the 25-year-old back will struggle to stand out in fantasy, but will maintain a solid floor heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Houston Texans.

From RotoBaller

Brenton Strange Sep 24 12:40am CT
Brenton Strange

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange only caught two passes, but one was for the team's only touchdown in a 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He finished with 17 yards receiving, catching two of his five targets. Taking over for Evan Engram once again, Strange was a little quieter from a yards perspective compared to last week, but the touchdown gave him a respectable fantasy output. The second-year tight end will likely move back to his original role of clear backup to Engram once the starter returns from injury, but for now, Strange is a solid starting option for teams in desperate need of tight end help, which seems to be most fantasy managers so far this season. As with most tight ends, Strange has a low floor but enough of a ceiling where he is a startable option as long as Engram is out. He will look to catch another touchdown in a Week 4 matchup with the Houston Texans.

Keon Coleman Sep 24 12:20am CT
Keon Coleman

Head coach Sean McDermott revealed that Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman was benched for the first quarter due to punctuality issues. "This will serve as a learning opportunity for him," McDermott stated after the game. "It was a matter of being on time. He understands his responsibility to his teammates. We've addressed it, we support him, and now we move forward. I thought he played well tonight." Coleman made an impact after entering the game in the second quarter, scoring his first career touchdown and helping the Bills secure a decisive 47-10 victory. The 24-yard touchdown was his only target of the evening. Coleman participated in 19 out of 60 offensive snaps, which amounts to just 31.66%. However, heading into Week 3, he led all Bills wide receivers with 83 offensive snaps, outpacing the next closest receiver, Mack Hollins, by 16. Coleman also topped the team in routes run and was second in targets before his benching. With the Bills' offense performing at a high level, Coleman could be a solid flex option in favorable matchupsprovided he arrives on time, of course.

Trevor Lawrence Sep 24 12:20am CT
Trevor Lawrence

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence put up yet another underwhelming performance in a 47-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He finished with 178 passing yards, completing 21 of his 38 passing attempts. He threw one touchdown and one interception. The Jaguars offense just hasn't worked so far this season, and Lawrence has not looked great throughout. This is his second game with less than 200 yards passing, and he only has two touchdowns in three games. Even the potential rushing upside he has added during his career just hasn't materialized this season. The former number one pick is a player that can be dropped at this point in most leagues. His early schedule has been tough, but he isn't providing enough of a floor to be trusted at all to start in fantasy lineups. Lawrence has yet another tough road matchup in Week 4 when he faces the Houston Texans.

Jayden Daniels Sep 24 12:13am CT
Jayden Daniels

Dynasty | Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 21-of-23 passes for 254 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions, adding 39 rushing yards and another touchdown in a road win against the Bengals. Dynasty Analysis: Uhh, what? Daniels set the rookie record for completion percentage in a game and looked calm, cool, and collected in the process. If there were any doubts about his transition to the NFL, they were answered tonight as Daniels routinely made play after play on the road against a team absolutely desperate for a win. Daniels looks like the player we thought Anthony Richardson could be last year and has the looks of a long-term QB1 already. The buying window has closed.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Zack Moss Sep 24 12:13am CT
Zack Moss

Dynasty | Bengals running back Zack Moss had 58 rushing yards, five catches, 39 receiving yards and a touchdown in a loss against the Commanders. Dynasty Analysis: Moss again out-touched Chase Brown, this time 17-9. Unfortunately, Brown was solid himself so this is looking more and more like a 60/40 timeshare moving forward. Regardless, this was game Moss needed to have and he's looked like a solid addition for Cincinnati as they try to fill the shoes of Joe Mixon on the cheap. Moss will be a low-end RB2 moving forward.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Trevor Lawrence Sep 24 12:13am CT
Trevor Lawrence

Dynasty | Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed just 21-of-38 passes for 178 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a humiliating loss to the Bills. Dynasty Analysis: The Jaguars were cooked to the tune of a 47-10 score where they were outplayed in every aspect of the game. Lawrence himself looks out of synch and has no rhythm with his new receiving corps. With just two touchdown passes through three weeks, Lawrence is looking like a poor game manager and player expected to do way too much with way too little at the moment. He belongs on fantasy benches in what's looking like a lost season. Lawrence's dynasty value is also sinking as it's fair to wonder if he really is as good as many thought he was coming out of Clemson.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Keon Coleman Sep 24 12:13am CT
Keon Coleman

Dynasty | Bills rookie receiver Keon Coleman had a 24-yard touchdown catch in the Bills 47-10 demolition of Jacksonville. Dynasty Analysis: Unfortunately, it was Coleman's only target on the night. With just seven targets through three games, it's clear the BIlls are bringing him along slowly. Khalil Shakir is starting to establish himself as the top option and that's going to keep Coleman as a dynasty stash for the time being. While he doesn't belong near lineups at the moment, we can see the talent and dynasty managers are going to need to simply stay patient. Coleman could be a savvy manager's buy low at the moment.

Mark Andrews Sep 24 12:10am CT
Mark Andrews

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has warned Mark Andrews' managers that they're in a turbulent ride. Andrews has been a source of frustration for fantasy owners, and Harbaugh indicated that this situation is unlikely to improve soon. He mentioned that the tight end position will see rotation, and snap counts will vary according to the team's game strategy. Last week, Andrews was on the field for only 33 percent of the snaps due to the Ravens utilizing "heavy" personnel packages. Given Harbaugh's comments, it will be challenging to depend on Andrews for consistent production week after week. A tight end participating in just a third of the snaps isn't positioned to deliver major stats in fantasy leagues. While Andrews' managers shouldn't feel the need to drop him outright, it makes sense to consider benching him until there's more clarity regarding the tight-end rotation. The challenge lies in discovering any viable alternatives in the current tight-end nightmare.

Zac Taylor Sep 23 11:50pm CT
Zac Taylor

Cincinnati Bengals right tackle Trent Brown (knee) exited Monday night's game with a knee injury. He was seen in the locker room with a full brace on his right leg and using crutches after the game. Brown went down during a pass protection play in the second quarter, immediately grabbing his right knee before being carted off the field. His fellow offensive linemen helped him onto the cart, offering their best wishes as he was taken to the X-ray room with 6:25 left in the half. The veteran was making his third start of the season after signing a one-year contract worth up to $4.75 million during the offseason, following three years with the New England Patriots. When asked about Brown's condition in the postgame press conference, Bengals coach Zac Taylor remarked, "It doesn't look good." Rookie Amarius Mims, who had just taken his first NFL snap six plays earlier during a field goal drive, stepped in to replace Brown. Mims, the team's first-round pick this year, is expected to step up effectively. Before his preseason injury, he was tentatively set to be the starting right tackle, and now that he's healthy, he's ready to fulfill the expectations that come with his draft status.

Ray Davis Sep 23 11:30pm CT
Ray Davis

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis rushed seven times for 22 yards and a touchdown in the team's 47-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also caught one pass for one yard. Davis' first NFL touchdown came with just over four minutes remaining in the game to put the Bills ahead by 37 points. With the victory in hand, Josh Allen and other starters had already moved to the bench. With a healthy James Cook and Ty Johnson filling in on third downs, Davis isn't anything more than a complementary running back in the Buffalo offense. Fantasy managers should view him as insurance in case Cook gets injured.

From RotoBaller

Keon Coleman Sep 23 11:20pm CT
Keon Coleman

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman saw just one target on Monday Night Football, but he made the most of it. The rookie scored his first NFL touchdown on a 24-yard catch midway through the second quarter. That was Josh Allen's second passing touchdown of the night and the Bills' third score overall. By halftime, the Bills built a 27-point lead, and Coleman did not need to be involved any further to secure the victory. James Cook, Khalil Shakir, and Dalton Kincaid are ahead of Coleman in the offensive pecking order, keeping Coleman as a boom/bust wide receiver in Week 4 against Baltimore.

From RotoBaller

Dalton Kincaid Sep 23 11:20pm CT
Dalton Kincaid

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught three passes for 41 yards and a touchdown in the team's 47-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Josh Allen kept a first-quarter play alive with his legs and found Kincaid in the back of the endzone for a six-yard score. Earlier on that drive, Allen connected with Kincaid on a 28-yard gain. The reception total is still on the lower side, but the Bills barely threw in the second half with a 27-point lead that eventually ballooned to 37. With the touchdown, Kincaid finished as a top-five fantasy football tight end in Week 3. He'll hope to keep that status in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens.

From RotoBaller

Josh Allen Sep 23 11:10pm CT
Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw for 263 yards and four touchdowns in a dominant victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also added 44 yards on the ground on six carries. A large chunk of his production, including all of his touchdowns, came in the first half. The Bills jumped out to a 27-point halftime lead, scoring a touchdown on all five of their drives in the first half. Allen found Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Ty Johnson for his touchdown passes. Even with the blowout, Allen finished as the QB1 for the week. The Bills travel to Baltimore in Week 4.

James Cook Sep 23 11:10pm CT
James Cook

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed the football 11 times for 39 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 48 yards in the team's 47-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Bills opened the game throwing more often than running, although Cook finished the first drive with his touchdown. Due to another blowout win, Cook only touched the ball once in the fourth quarter. Cook's 87 total yards were his fewest of the young season, but he still managed to end the week as an RB1 in PPR formats. With his work on the ground and through the air, the soon-to-be 25-year-old will remain an RB1 against a tough Baltimore defense in Week 4.

Khalil Shakir Sep 23 11:10pm CT
Khalil Shakir

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught all six of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in a blowout victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Quarterback Josh Allen looked for the slot receiver early in the game and later connected with him on a 27-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown on the Bills' fourth drive. All of Shakir's production came in the first half. With a 27-point halftime lead, the Bills didn't need to throw much in the second half. Shakir has cemented himself as Allen's top option in the passing game and will be a WR3 when the Bills travel to Baltimore in Week 4.

Luke McCaffrey Sep 23 10:50pm CT
Luke McCaffrey

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Luke McCaffrey bounced back in a big way on Monday night. After catching three passes for 18 yards in his NFL debut, the Rice product was held out of the box score last weekend. However, on Monday, McCaffrey caught all three of his targets for 44 yards, good for second-most among Washington pass catchers. His best play of the night came on a fourth down where Washington needed just two yards but the 23-year-old went on to pick up 30 and set up their first score of the evening. This was an excellent rebound game for the young wideout as he continues establishing himself as the No.2 receiver in this offense. For now, McCaffrey remains an excellent stash candidate and is a name to keep a close eye on going forward as he continues to build a connection with his fellow rookie QB.

Zack Moss Sep 23 10:40pm CT
Zack Moss

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss played well in Monday's loss to the Commanders. The 26-year-old finished the night with 12 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown, finding the end zone off a one-yard carry late in the contest. He also got involved as a pass-catcher, bringing in five of his six targets for 39 yards. While Chase Brown was more involved than in the first two games of the season, ending with seven touches for 62 yards, it's clear Moss is the preferred option out of the backfield. With two touchdowns in the Bengals' first three games of the 2024-25 campaign, Moss remains a starting fantasy option in Week 4 versus the Carolina Panthers.
