Finding Tight End Breakouts And Busts – Week 3 Edition

Here’s the thing, when it comes to tight ends ranked outside the top-six, there are going to be a lot of mistakes. The position is extremely volatile and even the best options are prone to some extremely big clunkers. Their roles can change significantly week-to-week. Very few guys have locked-in roles like Darren Waller and […]

Robert Woods - Week 3 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Robert Woods' usage after Week 1 was concerning. He only ran a route on 68% of Matthew Stafford's dropbacks, seeing just four targets from the Rams' new quarterback. That was fewer targets than he had seen in any one game last season. He still caught a touchdown, which salvaged his week, but the usage was […]

Darrell Henderson - Week 3 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Fantasy Football

Darrell Henderson has been dealing with a rib injury leading up to the matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3, which is just another reason it is probably best for fantasy managers to keep him on the bench this week.

Hopefully y'all read this article last week because you would've gotten a "leg-up" on your competition.

Rams Defense Has A Tough Matchup In Week 3

Darrell Henderson Jr. Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) did not participate in practice on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old has been pretty […]

Matt Gay Should Be Busy In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay has been one of the best kickers in the NFL so far this year, and he should be busy again in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gay is a perfect 11-for-11 on kicking opportunities this season, and his offense is only going to continue to improve. Against […]

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee was a top-10 tight end in Week 1, but he struggled in Week 2 with just one catch. In Week 3, he matches up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have one of the best defenses in football. Against this same unit in 2020, Higbee had four catches […]

Robert Woods Looks To Improve In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods started the season slow, but he bounced back in Week 2. In Week 3, he gets a matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs have one of the league's best run defenses, which should prompt the Rams into a more pass-heavy script in the game, especially if […]

Cooper Kupp Should Have Another Good Week

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is the NFL's WR1 after two weeks in PPR formats, and he's averaging over 30 points per game thus far. In Week 3, he matches up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who allowed the Dallas Cowboys to throw the ball around the yard against them in Week 1. […]

Sony Michel Could Have A Bigger Role In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel saw his first increased workload as a Ram in Week 2 with Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) getting injured, and he could wind up serving as the lead back in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if Henderson cannot play. However, the Bucs have one of the best […]

Matthew Stafford Has A Tough Matchup In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been a QB1 through the first two weeks of the season, and he faces his toughest test yet in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
