Week 3 of the NFL season is now in the books and while we saw many familiar names register top-fantasy performances there were a few surprises.

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

We had a clear frontrunner for top waiver priority and FAB burner this week before Sunday even began.

[…]

Marquise Brown Struggles With Drops In Week 3

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown finished with just three catches for 53 yards during the narrow win over the Lions in Week 3.

Sammy Watkins Remains Involved Against Lions

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins caught four passes for 68 yards during the win over the Lions on Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray cooled off in Week 3, finishing with only 28 yards on seven touches during the win over the Lions.

Lamar Jackson Sheds Questionable Tag To Help Secure Win

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) managed to suit up to help lead his team to a narrow win over the Detroit Lions in Week 3.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker had one of the most memorable performances in NFL history during the narrow win over the Lions on Sunday.
