This could be due to a poor role, matchup, or performance.<\/p>\n Stash \u2018Em \u2014 Step 1: Hold them on your bench. Step 2: Profit.<\/p>\n Good luck this week!<\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals (TNF) Jaxson Smith-Njigba \u2013 Ranks WR4 in targets per game, WR1 in yards per route run, and WR2 in targets per route run. Decent. JSN has earned a whopping 50% of Seattle\u2019s first read targets, which is 3% higher than the next closest WR (Garrett Wilson \u2013 47%).<\/p>\n Trey McBride \u2013 Seattle plays very little man coverage \u2013 they run zones 76% of the time \u2013 which favors another big day for McBride targets. Over the last two seasons, he\u2019s been targeted on 27% of his routes when facing zone coverage, while his teammate Marvin Harrison (18% TPRR vs. zone) lags far behind.<\/p>\n Start \u2018Em<\/p>\n Trey Benson \u2013 Gets a chance to have a bell cow workload with James Conner (IR) out for the season. Emari Demercado will only play in a change-of-pace role and take a few passing-down snaps here and there. After Conner\u2019s injury, Benson played on 69% of the snaps while Demercado (24%) mixed in. Benson\u2019s season-long outlook looks amazing, but this is a really tough matchup against a good Seahawks run defense (3.1 YPC allowed | fourth-fewest). He\u2019s a low-end RB1.<\/p>\n Ken Walker \u2013 The Saints did a good job bottling up Walker on the ground last week, but he saved his day with two short TDs. Zach Charbonnet (foot) will be back on Thursday night, but he could be a bit more limited on this short week. I do expect Walker to have a more valuable role than Charbonnet this season, but the Seahawks have no reason to saddle up Walker with a bell cow workload. Charbonnet (30%) had a slightly higher route share than Walker (25%) in Weeks 1-2. With Seattle installed as small road favorites (-1.5), Walker projects as a lower-end RB2.<\/p>\n Kyler Murray \u2013 Has opened up this season with QB16, QB22, and QB16 scoring weeks. I could see him running a bit more now that James Conner (ankle) is out for the season. Murray is averaging the second-most carries per game (6.7) of his career through three games. While he has a decent rushing floor, Kyler has thrown for 275 or more yards in just 3 out of his last 20 games. As always, he projects as a lower-end QB1.<\/p>\n Sit \u2018Em<\/p>\n Marvin Harrison \u2013 I ranked Harrison -20 spots below ADP this summer\u2026 and that wasn\u2019t low enough! Once again, Harrison is getting out-targeted by Trey McBride. The Cardinals TE is seeing 33% of the first read targets (Harrison 22% \u2013 WR43). This is forcing Harrison to live off of WR5-levels of volume. There are 52 WRs with more targets per game than Harrison (5.3). Seattle is allowing the fourth-fewest yards per game (69.7) to opposing outside wide receivers.<\/p>\n Zach Charbonnet \u2013 After missing last week with a foot injury, he could be a bit more limited than usual on this short week.<\/p>\n Sam Darnold \u2013 Only in play in SuperFlex\/2QB leagues.<\/p>\n Cooper Kupp \u2013 With 4.3 targets and 8.0 expected fantasy points per game, Kupp doesn\u2019t have a viable role in fantasy right now.<\/p>\n Stash \u2018Em<\/p>\n Tory Horton<\/p>\n Minnesota Vikings at Pittsburgh Steelers (Dublin, Ireland | 9:30a) Jordan Mason \u2013 His debut as the starter couldn\u2019t have gone any better. Mason hammered the Bengals for 16\/112\/2 rushing. He handled a full bell cow workload in the first three quarters of that game with 76% of the snaps before he was pulled in the fourth.<\/p>\n Start \u2018Em<\/p>\n Justin Jefferson \u2013 The Vikings only needed to drop back to pass 25 times last week, and that should normalize in this tighter game script (Vikings are -2.5 favorites). Carson Wentz was fine in his debut start with a 75% catchable throw rate and -2% completion rate under expectation.<\/p>\n TJ Hockenson \u2013 Like I said last week, it would be scary hours for Hockenson if he couldn\u2019t wax the Bengals slow LB\/S corps. He got there with a strong 5\/49\/1 receiving line. I\u2019m back to treating Hockenson as a lower-end TE1 in another good matchup. Pittsburgh has struggled against tight ends, allowing 17\/211\/3 receiving (on 23 targets) against the Jets, Seahawks, and Patriots TE groups. They\u2019re giving up the sixth-most schedule-adjusted FPG to the position.<\/p>\n FLEX Plays<\/p>\n Jordan Addison \u2013 Justin Jefferson, TJ Hockenson, and Addison played in 11 games together last season. Jefferson (25%) led the way by target share, followed by Addison (20%) and Hockenson (16%). Addison averaged 13.0 Half-PPR FPG in these 11 contests, which would have made him WR17. By comparison, Jefferson put up 14.5 FPG (WR9).<\/p>\n DK Metcalf \u2013 Through three games, Metcalf is a lowly WR47 in targets and expected fantasy points per game. Gross. He just barely has the lead in first read targets (24%) over Calvin Austin (21%) and Jonnu Smith (18%). Unless we see a big uptick in usage, Metcalf will be a boom-or-bust WR3 all season long. The Vikings have done a great job at limiting the Bears, Falcons, and Bengals receivers. Minnesota is giving up just 65 yards per game to opposing outside wide receivers (second-fewest).<\/p>\n Kenneth Gainwell<\/p>\n Sit \u2018Em<\/p>\n Jaylen Warren \u2013 Ironically, this is the role that everyone in the fantasy football community wanted for Warren when he was paired with Najee Harris. Warren\u2019s snap rate (46% > 58% > 78%) has increased in three straight games. OC Arthur Smith will continue to mix Kenneth Gainwell in, but this is clearly Warren\u2019s backfield. If the Vikings defense has one \u201cweakness,\u201d it\u2019s on zone-blocking runs (4.8 YPC and 51% success rate allowed).<\/p>\n Update: Warren popped up on the injury report on Friday with a knee injury, and he\u2019s been ruled OUT. Kenneth Gainwell is now on the board as a desperation FLEX. Kaleb Johnson will get a chance, but he has played four snaps all season.<\/p>\n Aaron Rodgers \u2013 After his 4-TD performance in Week 1, Rodgers has finished as the QB28 and QB21 in weekly scoring. The Vikings allow a league-low 8.5 passing fantasy points per game. DC Brian Flores is going to light up Rodgers with a ton of blitzes \u2013 no defense is sending extra rushers more often than the Vikings (46%). He\u2019s only in play in SuperFlex\/2QB leagues.<\/p>\n Carson Wentz \u2013 Only in play in SuperFlex\/2QB leagues.<\/p>\n Jonnu Smith<\/p>\n Calvin Austin \u2013 If you\u2019re desperate in a deep league, Austin is on the board as a hail mary WR4\/FLEX. He leads the Steelers by a slim margin in targets over Metcalf (6 to 5) and first reads (27% to 23%) when Rodgers is blitzed.<\/p>\n New Orleans Saints at Buffalo Bills Josh Allen<\/p>\n James Cook \u2013 By expected fantasy points, Cook\u2019s role is worth 16.7 FPG (RB10). This is a +33% year-over-year increase. Cook\u2019s role was worth just 12.6 XFP\/G last season. Josh Allen has the lead in carries (7 to 5) inside the inside-the-10, but it really doesn\u2019t matter because the Bills are in the red zone so often. Buffalo has a 31.8 point implied team total, which is 4.5 points higher than the next closest team (Green Bay at 27.3 implied points).<\/p>\n Start \u2018Em<\/p>\n Chris Olave \u2013 No receiver turns double-digit targets into 55 yards of offense like Olave. In all seriousness, Olave\u2019s volume will keep him in the WR2\/3 conversation all year long. The Saints are using Olave on way more quick hitters this season, which is a huge boost to his floor in fantasy. His 8.8-yard average depth of target is significantly lower than 2024 (aDOT: 11.1 yards) and 2023 (aDOT: 13.4 yards).<\/p>\n Juwan Johnson \u2013 Only Jake Ferguson (32) has seen more targets among TEs than Johnson (28). Only Trey McBride (33%) has earned a higher share of first read targets than Johnson (29%). Just keep riding the volume.<\/p>\n Dalton Kincaid \u2013 While he\u2019s still not a full-time player (57% route share), I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen the forest through the trees with Kincaid this season. When he\u2019s on the field, he\u2019s been targeted at an extremely high rate. Kincaid is earning a target on 25% of his routes (TE4), and he\u2019s been highly efficient on these looks (2.32 yards per route run \u2013 TE3). For now, he projects as a lower-end TE1.<\/p>\n FLEX Plays<\/p>\n Alvin Kamara \u2013 You\u2019re playing Kamara as a volume-based RB2\/FLEX, no matter what. He projects slightly worse than usual with the Saints installed as massive +16 underdogs vs. Bills. This is a good matchup. The Bills got Derrick Henry\u2019d in Week 1 (18\/169\/2 rushing) and just gave up 4.8 YPC to Dolphins RBs last week. Bills top DT Ed Oliver (ankle) has missed Weeks 2-3.<\/p>\n Keon Coleman \u2013 It\u2019s been slow going for Coleman after his blowup up Week 1, but I\u2019m willing to go back to him as an upside WR3 in this matchup. New Orleans allows 2.64 yards per route run (fifth-most) and 24.9 FPG (third-most) to opposing outside wide receivers. Coleman (18) leads the Bills in targets by a slim margin over Kincaid (16), Josh Palmer (13), and Khalil Shakir (13).<\/p>\n Sit \u2018Em<\/p>\n Rashid Shaheed \u2013 Buffalo predominantly plays zone coverage (76%), and Shaheed is a distant third on the Saints in targets per route run (0.15) vs. zones. By comparison, Olave (0.29 TPRR) and Johnson (0.27 TPRR) are the clear-cut top options.<\/p>\n Khalil Shakir \u2013 He\u2019s earned just two and four targets in his last two games after Josh Allen needed to drop back 47 times in Week 1. The Saints have been pretty good vs. slot receivers, allowing the 10th-fewest scheduled adjusted FPG.<\/p>\n Josh Palmer<\/p>\n Spencer Rattler \u2013 Has quietly been solid for 2QB\/SuperFlex leagues with QB23, QB10, and QB21 scoring weeks. It\u2019s all volume-based, though. Rattler is third in passing dropbacks per game, trailing only Joe Flacco and Dak Prescott.<\/p>\n Ray Davis<\/p>\n Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans Nico Collins \u2013 This is why you don\u2019t panic with alpha WR1. After a slow Week 1, Collins has turned his 20 targets into 11\/156\/2 receiving vs. Buccaneers and Jaguars. The Titans have allowed the 10th-most schedule-adjusted FPG to opposing outside wide receivers. Perimeter receivers Courtland Sutton (6\/61\/1 receiving), Davante Adams (6\/106\/1), and Michael Pittman (6\/73\/1) have all excelled vs. Tennessee.<\/p>\n FLEX Plays<\/p>\n Tony Pollard \u2013 Through three games, Pollard leads all RBs in snaps (90%). The problem is that the Titans are 29th in scoring drives (30.4%) and Pollard is minimally involved in the passing game (6% target share). The Titans offensive line has improved this season, but not by a significant margin. They\u2019re 20th by adjusted yards before contact per carry.<\/p>\n Christian Kirk \u2013 I\u2019d stash Kirk on your bench and see if the Texans passing game can take a step forward as the season goes on. Kirk ran a route on 67% of Houston\u2019s pass plays and was the secondary target (21% of first reads) to Collins (35% FR) in Week 3. Kirk has some lower end FLEX appeal in this matchup. The Titans have allowed the seventh-most yards (84 per game) to slot WRs through three weeks.<\/p>\n Sit \u2018Em<\/p>\n Calvin Ridley \u2013 Yeah, I\u2019m out. Ridley has turned his 20 targets into a pathetic 8\/111 receiving this season. 70% of Ridley\u2019s targets have been charted as catchable (WR64), which is only a slight improvement compared to last year (68%). Texans top CB Derek Stingley (oblique) is questionable to play.<\/p>\n Nick Chubb and Woody Marks \u2013 Houston is a backfield committee. The rookie Woody Marks (12% > 28% > 49%) continues to trend up in snap rate. Chubb and Marks split carries (9 to 6 \u2013 in favor of Chubb) last week. This is a premier matchup against a Tennessee front-seven that\u2019s giving up the second-most rushing yards per game (134.3) without run-stuffing DT T\u2019Vondre Sweat (IR). Joe Mixon is eligible to return from the NFI list in Week 5.<\/p>\n C.J. Stroud \u2013 Has finished as a top-12 scoring QB on a weekly basis in just three of his last 19 games.<\/p>\n Cameron Ward \u2013 Play the Texans D\/ST.<\/p>\n Dalton Schultz<\/p>\n Chig Okonkwo<\/p>\n Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel<\/p>\n Stash \u2018Em<\/p>\n Elic Ayomanor \u2013 The rookie Ayomanor (1.35 YPRR | 0.10 1D\/RR) has been far more efficient than Ridley (1.12 YPRR | 0.05 1D\/RR) so far.<\/p>\n Cleveland Browns at Detroit Lions Jahmyr Gibbs \u2013 Has finished as a top-24 scoring RB in PPR in 20 straight games.<\/p>\n Amon-Ra St. Brown \u2013 Leads the Lions in targets (24) and first reads (34% share) by a significant margin over LaPorta (17 targets | 16% FR) and Williams (12 TGT | 12% FR).<\/p>\n Start \u2018Em<\/p>\n Quinshon Judkins \u2013 Oh, baby. Judkins is looking like a potential home run value pick after he slid into the 9th-11th round of drafts in August. It only took him two weeks to take over this backfield. He took 18-of-19 handoffs and ran more routes (32% share) than Jerome Ford (29%) in Week 3. Cleveland is a massive road underdog, and Detroit is playing good run defense (3.9 YPC allowed), but you\u2019re playing Judkins as a volume-based RB2\/FLEX and letting the chips fall where they may.<\/p>\n Sam LaPorta \u2013 Tight end is a dumpster fire again this season, so you\u2019re rolling out LaPorta, no matter what.<\/p>\n Jared Goff \u2013 Just blindly jam Goff into lineups when the Lions are at home and the favorites. Over the last four seasons, Goff averages 20.2 fantasy points per game (QB7) as a home favorite. Detroit is favored to win by 9.5 points. The Browns owned Burrow in Week 1 but have allowed 7.8 yards per pass attempt to Lamar Jackson (Week 2) and 7.3 YPA to Jordan Love (Week 3) since then.<\/p>\n FLEX Plays<\/p>\n David Montgomery \u2013 Coming off a career-high 151 rushing yards per game, Montgomery will come back down to earth a bit here. Cleveland is the league\u2019s best run defense right now, allowing just 2.2 YPC. As always, he\u2019s on the board as a RB2\/FLEX.<\/p>\n Jerry Jeudy \u2013 Has been a massive disappointment to open this season, turning his 21 targets into just 10\/134 receiving. Just 67% of his targets have been catchable. I\u2019m willing to give Jeudy one more week as a WR3\/FLEX option \u2013 simply because the volume and the matchup is good. Detroit is giving up the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing outside wide receivers.<\/p>\n Jameson Williams \u2013 Outside of two deep bombs in Week 2 after Bears top CB Jaylon Johnson left injured, it has been a very slow start for Williams. His role just isn\u2019t very good (WR78 by expected fantasy points per game). Detroit\u2019s team outlook is so good, but it\u2019s hard to trust him beyond boom-or-bust WR3\/FLEX status.<\/p>\n Sit \u2018Em<\/p>\n David Njoku and Harold Fannin \u2013 This Browns TE duo is cannibalizing each other for fantasy football. Fannin (18 targets) and Njoku (17) are extremely close in targets and yards (Fannin \u2013 136 | Njoku \u2013 117). Njoku is playing a full-time role while Fannin is part-time, ranking TE29 by route share. By FPG, Fannin is TE14. Njoku is TE22.<\/p>\n Cedric Tillman \u2013 His route share has declined in three straight games (92% > 84% > 71%) while the rookie Isaiah Bond is playing more (23% > 43% > 55%).<\/p>\n Joe Flacco<\/p>\n Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford<\/p>\n Isaac TeSlaa<\/p>\n Isaiah Bond<\/p>\n Washington Commanders at Atlanta Falcons Bijan Robinson<\/p>\n Start \u2018Em<\/p>\n Drake London \u2013 I remain lower on his outlook than consensus because his ceiling has been \u201cmeh\u201d for his entire career. London has finished as a top-12 scoring WR on a weekly basis in just four of his last 34 games (12%). In their 18 games together, London has 98\/1188\/7 receiving (on 152 targets) while Darnell Mooney has 70\/1056\/5 receiving (on 121 targets). London is averaging 11.7 Half-PPR FPG (WR26) while Mooney is putting up 9.5 FPG (WR45). He remains a lower end WR2.<\/p>\n Deebo Samuel \u2013 Since Terry McLaurin is unable to play, the passing game will condense around Deebo and Ertz. Samuel is running 83% of his routes lined up in the slot, which will give him free releases off of the line of scrimmage and a quick avenue to short area targets all year. Deebo is a lower end WR2.<\/p>\n Zach Ertz \u2013 Over the last two combined seasons, Ertz is TE10 in PPR points per game (10.7). This is one-tenth better than Sam LaPorta (10.6). Only Mark Andrews (13) has scored more TDs than Ertz (9 \u2013 tied with three other TEs).<\/p>\n FLEX Plays<\/p>\n Darnell Mooney \u2013 By catchable throw rate (70.7%), Michael Penix ranks QB30. Not great. Unless their QB play improves, London and Mooney will have to rely on volume as WR3s. Mooney led the Falcons in first read targets (36%) over London (24%), McCloud (16%), and Pitts (12%) in Week 3. This is a good matchup. Washington has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing outside receivers.<\/p>\n Stream \u2018Em<\/p>\n Marcus Mariota \u2013 Came through as our top streamer last week, finishing QB6 for Week 3. In four appearances with Washington (3 relief, 1 start), Mariota has gone 49-of-65 passing for 571 yards, 5 TD, 0 INT. He\u2019s added 24\/132\/2 rushing. This over 158 snaps, or about 2.5 games worth of production. He\u2019s the top QB streaming play on this slate, by far. Although, this is a much tougher matchup than last week (vs. Raiders). The Falcons finally have a pass rush, and it\u2019s a part of the reason why they\u2019re limiting opposing passers to 9.3 passing FPG (second-fewest) and 5.8 YPA (sixth-fewest).<\/p>\n Sit \u2018Em<\/p>\n Terry McLaurin \u2013 Nursing a quad injury.<\/p>\n Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chris Rodriguez, and Jeremy McNichols \u2013 In their first game without Austin Ekeler (IR), the Commanders went with a gross three-way committee. I really hope that you\u2019re not planning on relying on this backfield for consistent production. Jacory Croskey-Merritt has a knee injury, and he\u2019s questionable.<\/p>\n Fantasy Points Data: Bell Cow Report<\/a><\/p>\n Kyle Pitts \u2013 As expected, Pitts fell to a distant fourth in first read targets in Week 3.<\/p>\n Michael Penix<\/p>\n Stash \u2018Em<\/p>\n Tyler Allgeier<\/p>\n Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jalen Hurts<\/p>\n Saquon Barkley \u2013 He\u2019s off to a slower start, and this is a really tough matchup. Tampa Bay has played terrific run defense to open the season, allowing just 2.8 YPC (third-fewest). The huge games are coming, though. Barkley ranks RB2 in snaps (87%), RB5 in target share (16%), and RB5 in expected fantasy points.<\/p>\n Bucky Irving \u2013 Getting a full-blown bell cow workload with 77%, 74%, and 78% of the snaps. Most importantly, Irving is playing way more in the pass game this year. He ranks RB7 in route share (57%), up from 33% in his rookie season.<\/p>\n Start \u2018Em<\/p>\n Emeka Egbuka \u2013 After running a route on 89% and 87% of the team\u2019s pass plays in Weeks 1-2, Egbuka was a bit limited by his hip injury in Week 3 (67% RR\/DB). The good news is that he\u2019s fully off of the injury report as we enter Week 4. He\u2019ll be relied on heavily with Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined for multiple weeks.<\/p>\n A.J. Brown \u2013 Got it going with a classic 6\/109\/1 hammer last week. When the Eagles are actually forced to throw the ball, Brown and Smith will be just fine. With Tampa Bay playing excellent run defense, Philadelphia may be forced to the air a bit more than usual here.<\/p>\n Baker Mayfield \u2013 It sucks that Mike Evans (hamstring) is out, but the Buccaneers are getting T Tristian Wirfs and Chris Godwin back just in time. The Eagles are allowing the seventh-fewest passing fantasy points per dropback and seventh-fewest passing yards per game. The big ceiling hasn\u2019t been there so far. Mayfield has opened this season with QB11, QB16, and QB9 scoring weeks. He projects as a lower-end QB1.<\/p>\n Dallas Goedert \u2013 One of a few TEs who plays nearly every single snap, Goedert (87%) trails only Trey McBride (90%) among TEs in route share this season. Goedert might not have a high ceiling, but he\u2019s always on the board as a lower end TE1. He\u2019s finished as the TE15 or better in weekly scoring in eight out of his last 10 full games.<\/p>\n FLEX Plays<\/p>\n DeVonta Smith \u2013 In their two games together this season, Smith (12) leads the Eagles in targets by a slim margin over Brown (11), Barkley (10), and Goedert (9). Smith is running more routes from the slot (63%), which gives him a nice matchup this week. Tampa Bay has allowed the second-most schedule adjusted fantasy points to opposing slot wideouts.<\/p>\n Sit \u2018Em<\/p>\n Chris Godwin \u2013 Will likely be a bit limited in his first game of the season.<\/p>\n Cade Otton<\/p>\n Sterling Shepard<\/p>\n Rachaad White<\/p>\n Carolina Panthers at New England Patriots Drake Maye \u2013 Has finished as a top-12 weekly scorer in 7-of-13 career games (54%). For perspective, this is a higher rate than Patrick Mahomes (7-of-19 | 37%) since the start of 2024. The Patriots haven\u2019t been a good running team yet, and they\u2019re entrusting Maye with a fairly pass-heavy attack. They have a nice +6.9% pass rate over expectation (sixth-highest).<\/p>\n Tetairoa McMillan \u2013 Ranks WR13 in targets per game, WR14 in yards per game, and WR14 in expected fantasy points per game. His usage is borderline WR1-worthy, but QB play will be a problem all season long. Bryce Young\u2019s career passing yards per attempt is just 5.7, which is terribly bad. The good news? Young\u2019s chemistry with McMillan has been pretty good \u2013 80% of McMillan\u2019s targets have been charted as catchable. This is a standout matchup against a Patriots secondary that\u2019s giving up the fourth-most yards per game (134.7) to opposing outside wide receivers.<\/p>\n Hunter Henry \u2013 Leads the Patriots in targets (21) and first reads (23%) while they run a receiver rotation with Boutte, Diggs, Douglas, and Hollins. Last week, Henry ran a season-high 77% route share. He\u2019ll be a low-end TE1 all season long with this type of usage. Carolina is very predictable, coverage-wise. They run the second-most Cover-3 zone (45%). Henry leads the Patriots in targets (9), first reads (31% share), receptions (6), and yards (88) on his 42 routes vs. Cover-3 this season.<\/p>\n FLEX Plays<\/p>\n Chuba Hubbard \u2013 While it was frustrating that Hubbard was held to just 76 scoreless scrimmage yards in their Week 3 blowout vs. Falcons, it\u2019s important to keep his usage in mind. Hubbard still ranks RB13 in snap rate and RB9 by expected fantasy points. What\u2019s most concerning to me is that the Panthers just lost their best offensive linemen, G Robert Hunt (torn biceps) and their C Austin Corbett (knee). The Patriots have been one of the best run defenses in the league, which is a staple of HC Mike Vrabel\u2019s philosophy. New England allows just 2.7 YPC (second-fewest). Hubbard is a low end RB2 for Week 4 lineup decisions.<\/p>\n TreVeyon Henderson \u2013 After both of his teammates fumbled last week, Henderson set a season-high in snaps (48%). He led this backfield in carries (11) over Stevenson (7) and Gibson (4). This will likely be a timeshare all season long, but Henderson has a chance to make his case as the \u201c1A\u201d in this premier matchup. Carolina is allowing 5.1 YPC (third-most).<\/p>\n Sit \u2018Em<\/p>\n Rhamondre Stevenson<\/p>\n Kayshon Boutte<\/p>\n Stefon Diggs \u2013 Has yet to come close to playing a full-time role. Diggs\u2019 route share in Weeks 1-3: 62% > 47% > 55%.<\/p>\n Bryce Young<\/p>\n Rico Dowdle<\/p>\n Demario Douglas<\/p>\n Stash \u2018Em<\/p>\n Jalen Coker \u2013 Will be eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 5. Carolina is desperate for a secondary target. Xavier Legette and TE Ja\u2019Tavion Sanders (ankle) are both injured.<\/p>\n Los Angeles Chargers at New York Giants Justin Herbert \u2013 Has opened up this season with QB5, QB14, and QB12 scoring weeks. The Chargers are second in pass rate over expectation at +8.8%, trailing only the Chiefs. Herbert currently leads all passers in yards per game (286.7). He\u2019s getting close to Must Start territory every week.<\/p>\n Omarion Hampton \u2013 The veteran Najee Harris tore his Achilles last week, which means that the Chargers now don\u2019t have anyone to really spell the rookie Hampton. We\u2019ll see if they make a signing. For now, Hampton is locked in as a low-end RB1. New York is getting their clocks cleaned to the tune of 6.7 YPC and a 68% success rate against gap blocking concepts this season. Los Angeles is using Hampton off of gap concepts on 57% of his runs.<\/p>\n Malik Nabers \u2013 Yeah, it\u2019s a rookie making his first start. There will be bumps in the early-season road. Nabers\u2019 target earning ability is prodigious, though. He ranks WR4 in first-read target share (42%), trailing only Smith-Njigba (50%), Wilson (47%), and Nacua (44%).<\/p>\n Cam Skattebo \u2013 With second-year RB Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) set to miss a few weeks, the rookie Skattebo is set up for bell cow usage. Skattebo handled 78% of the snaps after Tracy left the game last week. The Giants are big home underdogs (+6.5), but that matters little for Skattebo\u2019s outlook. He\u2019ll get plenty of dump-off targets.<\/p>\n
