5 days agoDenver Broncos running back
Jaleel McLaughlin found paydirt for the first time this season in the 26-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium, but that was really the only notable thing about his day. Outside of the touchdown scamper, McLaughlin had five carries that went for only seven yards (1.4 yards per carry) while catching his only target for a seven-yard gain. His five carries matched that of
Javonte Williams, but it was
Tyler Badie leading this backfield with nine carries for 70 yards. Through the first two weeks, the 24-year-old was in a timeshare with Williams, with neither back standing out. It's bad news for both McLaughlin and Williams that Badie was thrown in there on Sunday to try and inject some life into the rushing attack. Heading into Week 4, McLaughlin is a bench stash, at best, in fantasy.

5 days agoDenver Broncos running back
Javonte Williams is quickly losing hold of lead-back duties in the team's backfield after their 26-7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. Williams saw five carries for 12 yards (2.4 yards per tote) and lost a fumble while securing all four of his targets through the air for 29 yards. After his fumble, the 24-year-old had just three touches the rest of the game and saw
Tyler Badie lead the team with nine carries for 70 yards. The Broncos' offense looked improved in Week 3 against the Bucs, but their ground attack of Williams and
Jaleel McLaughlin remained stalled. If Williams doesn't pick things up soon, he could start to lose even more work to Badie and McLaughlin. A bounce-back in Week 4 against a stout New York Jets defense is unlikely. Fantasy managers have probably lost all faith in Williams as a viable RB3/flex play after Week 3.

Tyler Badie surprisingly led the team's backfield with 70 rushing yards in Sunday's 26-7 victory at Raymond James Stadium in Week 3. Badie was tied with rookie quarterback
Bo Nix on the day with nine carries and had a healthy 7.78 yards per carry, thanks to a 43-yard pickup. The 24-year-old saw most of his work in the second half of this contest after coming into the Week 3 game with just two touches for 18 yards through the first two weeks. We're not quite ready to say that fantasy managers needing help at the RB position should try to pick Badie up off the waiver wire next week, but if both
Javonte Williams and
Jaleel McLaughlin continue to be inefficient behind Nix, the Broncos coaching staff could give Badie even more chances moving forward. The former sixth-rounder is currently rostered in 0% of Yahoo leagues.

5 days agoNew York Giants running back
Tyrone Tracy Jr. had a modest but versatile performance in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Cleveland Browns. Tracy rushed five times for 23 yards, averaging 4.6 yards per carry, with his longest run going for six yards. In the passing game, he caught both of his targets for 17 yards, though he didn't find the end zone. While his role in the offense remains limited, Tracy's dual-threat ability as a rusher and receiver could make him a deeper-league roster stash. If anything happens to starter
Devin Singletary, the fifth-round rookie looks to be the next player up.

5 days agoDespite allowing touchdowns on the first two possessions, the Arizona Cardinals defense tightened up, surrendering only one more Detroit Lions touchdown for the remainder of the game. The Cardinal's defense recorded two sacks and one interception but allowed 373 yards of total offense in Sunday's 20-13 loss. While it wasn't a strong fantasy performance—finishing with just three points—their second-half effort is something they can build on. The Cardinals kept the Lions scoreless in the second half, and although they struggled against the run, they made key stops in crucial moments. With the Washington Commanders traveling to Arizona for Week 4, the Cardinals' defense could be a potential waiver wire target.

5 days agoNew York Giants wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson was a reliable target in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Cleveland Browns, showing his consistency in the passing game. Robinson hauled in seven of his eight targets for 61 yards, averaging 8.7 yards per reception, with his longest catch going for 28 yards. Though he didn't score a touchdown, his steady volume and efficiency make him a valuable asset in PPR formats. With his high target share and ability to generate yards after the catch, Robinson is emerging as a dependable WR3 or flex option in fantasy football, especially in matchups where short-yardage work is key.

5 days agoNew York Giants rookie wide receiver
Malik Nabers delivered another standout performance in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Cleveland Browns, contributing across multiple areas. Nabers caught eight of his 12 targets for 78 yards, averaging 9.8 yards per catch, including a reception of 28 yards. He also added two rushing attempts for four yards, showcasing his versatility usage as a runner. He also added two touchdowns, displaying that he is already a red-zone favorite of
Daniel Jones. With heavy involvement in the offense and red-zone production, Nabers continues to solidify himself as a WR1 for fantasy managers, particularly with his strong target share and ability to score touchdowns.

5 days agoSan Francisco 49ers rookie running back
Isaac Guerendo saw the first meaningful playing time of his career in a 27-24 loss to the Rams in Los Angeles on Sunday. The fourth-round pick out of Louisville entered with one carry for no gain through two games but took the ball five times for 19 yards in Week 3. It's conceivable that Guerendo's involvement could increase further in the next few weeks but it's very unlikely that he'll become startable in fantasy as long as
Jordan Mason is healthy while filling in for
Christian McCaffrey (Achilles). Head coach Kyle Shanahan has seemed to prefer a backfield bell cow situation throughout his tenure in San Francisco so Guerendo is a worthy stash in redraft formats as the next man up while McCaffrey is out in case of a Mason injury, but nothing more. Guerendo and the 49ers get the New England Patriots at home in Week 4.

5 days agoNew York Giants running back
Devin Singletary made a significant impact in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Cleveland Browns, despite some ups and downs. Singletary rushed for 65 yards on 16 carries, averaging 4.1 yards per attempt, including a 43-yard burst that displayed his breakaway ability. He also contributed in the passing game with four receptions for 43 yards but failed to score through the air. However, a costly lost fumble dampened his otherwise strong performance. Singletary's dual-threat ability and usage in both the run and pass game make him a solid RB2 option in fantasy, though ball security remains a concern.

5 days agoDallas Cowboys receiver
Brandin Cooks did not have a productive day in the 28-25 loss to Baltimore. The veteran receiver was targeted six times, but only caught two balls for 16 yards. Cooks has now recorded back-to-back disappointing performances and is falling off of the fantasy radar. With that being said, he still holds an every-down role in a high-volume passing offense. The 30-year-old will be back in action on Thursday against the New York Giants.

5 days agoArizona Cardinals kicker
Matt Prater continued his perfect season, converting all three of his kicks in the Week 3 loss to the Lions. Prater nailed two field goals from 40+ yards (42, 45) and made his only extra point attempt. The 40-year-old is a perfect 6-for-6 in field goal attempts and 8-for-8 in extra-point tries over three games in 2024. Despite the Cardinals' offensive struggles, Prater's consistency has been a bright spot, making him an emerging solid fantasy option. The Cardinals face the Commanders in Week 4. Fantasy managers can use Prater as a streamer in a projected high-scoring affair versus the Commanders on Sunday.

5 days agoNew York Giants quarterback
Daniel Jones played an efficient game in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Cleveland Browns, managing the offense well without any interceptions. Jones completed 24 of 34 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 6.9 yards per attempt. Though he didn't find the end zone on the ground, he added 20 rushing yards, using his mobility to extend plays despite being sacked twice. His clean performance, highlighted by zero interceptions, boosts his fantasy value as a dependable QB2, particularly in matchups where he can take advantage of weaker secondaries. The Giants face the Cowboys this Thursday in a huge inter-divisional game. Both teams are 1-2.

5 days agoDallas Cowboys receiver
Jalen Tolbert was involved in the offense again on Sunday in the 28-25 loss to Baltimore. Tolbert saw five targets come his way in the comeback attempt. The 2022 third-round pick secured three receptions for 45 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Tolbert split time as Dallas' third receiver with returner
KaVontae Turpin and second-year
Jalen Brooks. He is an intriguing stash in fantasy, but cannot be trusted in lineups as of right now.

5 days agoDallas Cowboys receiver
KaVontae Turpin saw involvement in the passing game in Sunday's loss to Baltimore. Primarily a return man, the speedy TCU product caught all three of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown. In an offense looking for a consistent third option in the passing game behind
CeeDee Lamb and
Jake Ferguson, Turpin's performance was encouraging for Dallas. That being said, he remains firmly off of the fantasy radar until he sees more consistent usage.
