Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is best left on the bench for Week 3’s tough road bout against the Chargers. The QB has opened up the season with a decent 636 passing yards, but only has one touchdown and two picks. Even though the Chargers have been a favorable matchup for opposing QBs, Bridgewater has not proved he is a weekly starter and doesn’t offer

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has been held to just three receptions through the first two weeks of the regular season. He was only able to haul in one of his five targets versus the Buffalo Bills last week. However, he’ll get a more favorable matchup versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. Williams hasn’t shown much promise this season, but fantasy owners should

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report heading into Week 3 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was limited during Monday and Tuesday’s practices, but was upgraded to full on Wednesday. Parker is coming off a Week 2 performance where he hauled in five receptions for 53 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. He’ll

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is coming off a fantastic game versus the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. He was able to haul in eight of his 11 targets for 130 yards and one touchdown last week. It was a strong showing from Gesicki who was coming off a dud during the season opener. He’ll get a favorable matchup versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard has been unable to find much room to run during the first two games of the regular season. However, Howard has found his way into the end zone during both contests. Sadly, Howard only has 11 total rushing yards on the season through two games. He’s part of a three-back committee, which is going to somewhat limit his value.

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida is not looking like a trustworthy option this season. He has had trouble getting anything going through the first two games of the season. Breida rushed seven times for 37 yards in the loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. He’s in a three-back committee, which is going to limit his value even more. He’ll get a more

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has quickly created fantasy value for himself this season. He’s coming off a Week 2 performance where he rushed seven times for 46 yards and caught six passes for 36 yards through the air. However, his value is somewhat limited due to the fact he’s in a three-back committee, but he’s outperformed both other backs on the roster. Gaskin

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has an intriguing matchup versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. Fitzpatrick is coming off a performance where he completed 31 of 47 passing attempts for 328 passing yards and two touchdowns. Sadly, the Dolphins weren’t able to get the win during that Week 2 matchup. However, Fitzpatrick bounced back nicely after his Week 1 dud. He’ll now get a

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a recommended start in Week 3 fantasy lineups. Despite the team coming back to win in Week 2, it’s no secret that the Cowboys defense struggled quite a bit against the Falcons, allowing 39 points. This week, they’ll take on a red-hot Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks in what should be another high-scoring contest. The Cowboys defense hasn’t

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a strong fantasy kicking option for Week 3 lineups. Zuerlein has made three of his four field goal tries and all six of his extra points so far this season. The Cowboys will be taking on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, making for another possibly high-scoring game which should lead to kicking opportunities for Zuerlein. He’s a starting

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is suddenly a viable fantasy starting tight end in 12-team leagues. Schultz led the Cowboys in targets in Week 2 with 10, catching nine passes for 88 yards and a touchdown. With that kind of usage and with another potentially high-scoring game on tap for Week 3, Schultz could see another TE1 finish. With Blake Jarwin (knee) done for

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb comes in right on the WR2/3 turn for a good Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Lamb somewhat surprisingly tied for the team lead in wide receiver targets with nine in Week 2. Week 3 draws another potentially high-scoring contest, with Lamb sure to see many targets for a second consecutive week. He’s playing behind Amari Cooper

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday while he tries to recover from a high ankle sprain. Thomas missed the Monday night loss to the Raiders and could miss several more weeks. Fantasy managers shouldn’t be expecting to get the All-Pro receiver back in Week 3 against the Packers. As we witnessed against Las Vegas, you can’t really count

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup has been mostly disappointing through the first two weeks of the season, but he’s a solid fantasy bet for a Week 3 potentially high-scoring affair with the Seattle Seahawks. So far, Gallup has turned 10 targets into five catches for 108 yards. He’s been on the field for almost every offensive play, however, seeing the field on 96% of

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It’s not a great start to the week, but Adams still has two more days to get back on the field heading into Week 3 against the Saints in what could be a high-scoring affair. The 27-year-old went off for 14 catches, 156 yards and two touchdowns in the season-opener, but he

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has been an effective fantasy wide receiver through two games despite not coming down with a touchdown yet. Cooper has totaled 16 catches for 181 yards on 23 targets. Facing the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, the Cowboys should have another high-scoring offensive performance and Cooper is about as good a bet as anyone to score his first touchdown

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), who aggravated his injury in the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, did not practice on Wednesday. While the veteran Jones often misses practice and plays through nagging injuries, this is one to keep a close eye on the rest of the week leading up to Week 3 against the Bears. The All-Pro pass-catcher had just two receptions

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he’d be surprised if quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is ready to play in Week 3 against the Giants. Shanahan expects Nick Mullens to get the start. Garoppolo is dealing with a minor high ankle sprain and is week-to-week for now. The Niners have a favorable matchup against New York this week, but it seems as if

Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones (Achilles, groin) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the Jaguars. Also, safety Clayton Fejedelem (pectoral) is considered doubtful for Week 3. The Dolphins secondary might be even more vulnerable in this one, which is good news for Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II and receivers D.J. Chark (if he plays), rookie Laviska Shenault Jr. and Keelan Cole.

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is not a standalone fantasy option in Week 3 lineups. Pollard remains a potential league-winning backup, but as long as Ezekiel Elliott is on the field, Pollard won’t get enough playing time to make much fantasy noise. In Week 1, Pollard was on the field for just 14% of offensive snaps and that dropped to 10% in Week 2.
