Chalk plays are inevitably going to hit on most NFL DFS slates, and Week 3 isn\u2019t an exception. At the same time, it\u2019s helpful to mix in players who may go overlooked to differentiate your lineups from the field.<\/p>\n

Based on players\u2019 salaries and matchups on FanDuel and DraftKings, here are the top five underrated NFL DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) plays for Week 3.<\/p>\n

Only Josh Allen has produced more DraftKings points per game (39.7) than Bryce Young<\/a> (29.8) on the Week 3 main slate. Young is currently posting the sixth-most adjusted EPA\/play <\/a>(0.31) and fifth-highest completion percentage (CPOE; +9.1%) among QBs this season.<\/p>\n

After ranking 21st in neutral pass rate (50.2%) last year, the Carolina Panthers are trusting Young even more this year, sitting at 3rd in neutral pass rate (61.5%).<\/p>\n

Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets ($7,100 FD\/$6,400 DK) at DET\"Breece<\/p>\n

One of the better fantasy football environments in Week 3 features the New York Jets and Detroit Lions. While everyone understandably focuses on the QBs and WRs in this game, Breece Hall may go overlooked.<\/p>\n

In addition to Detroit\u2019s defense ranking 31st in rushing EPA (0.15) and 26th in rushing success rate (46.2%), Hall has the 3rd-most yards per route run (2.72) among RBs with 10-plus rushing attempts.<\/p>\n

Chuba Hubbard, RB, Carolina Panthers ($6,700 FD\/$6,100 DK) at CLE\"Chuba<\/p>\n

Chuba Hubbard<\/a> remains an underrated option in NFL DFS, and he now has less competition for touches with Jonathon Brooks being placed on injured reserve. Hubbard is the only healthy Panthers RB who has a red-zone touch this season, and he\u2019s hauled in two receiving touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Along with Carolina being favored on the road against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3, the Browns\u2019 defense is 23rd in rush EPA (-0.02) and 30th in rushing success rate (49.0%) allowed.<\/p>\n

Jameson Williams, WR, Detroit Lions ($6,600 FD\/$5,400 DK) vs. NYJ\"Jameson<\/p>\n

Everyone who has rostered Jameson Williams in fantasy football or DFS in the first two weeks of the season has undoubtedly gotten burned. That being said, I\u2019m prepared to be burned again in Week 3 against the New York Jets!<\/p>\n

Besides the Lions playing at home on Sunday, Williams is tied with Amon-Ra St. Brown for the highest route rate (97.6%) in Detroit\u2019s offense, and he has the 19th-highest average depth of target (13.8) among WRs with 10-plus targets.<\/p>\n

Oronde Gadsden II, TE, Los Angeles Chargers ($5,000 FD\/$3,500 DK) at BUF\"Oronde<\/p>\n

Both David Njoku and Charlie Kolar are sidelined for the Los Angeles Chargers entering Week 3, paving the way for Oronde Gadsden II<\/a> to handle an expanded role. With the Chargers being decent-sized underdogs against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Gadsden\u2019s receiving skill set can be utilized more.<\/p>\n

As a rookie last season, Gadsden led TEs with 50-plus targets in yards per reception (13.6) and ranked 11th in yards per route run (1.66). On top of that, the Bills are quietly 28th in dropback EPA (0.30) and 30th in dropback success rate (54.3%) allowed to begin the season.<\/p>\n
