Dominate Your League

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is steadily carving out a larger role in the offense, even if the production hasn't followed just yet. After seeing three targets in Week 1, Tucker's usage jumped to eight against the Chargers, and he's now logged snaps on 91% of the team's offensive plays. The third-year wideout managed only three catches for 12 yards in the loss, though the heavy involvement shows Geno Smith's trust in his development. Tucker's speed and big-play potential make him a name to monitor closely on the waiver wire, especially in deeper leagues. Still, fantasy managers should wait for him to string together consistent results before considering him an add, as volume alone won't guarantee immediate success.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp looks like a flex play in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. Kupp delivered in Week 2 with seven catches for 90 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kupp and quarterback Sam Darnold clearly found chemistry together after a lackluster debut in Week 1. Kupp displayed the savvy and excellent route running that allowed him to carve up zones during his days with the Los Angeles Rams. Kupp's role as Seattle's slot receiver is valuable in offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's system. He should continue to see upwards of five-plus targets per game moving forward. Although the Seahawks may be ahead for most of the game on Sunday, Kupp will be a flex option as long as his chemistry with Darnold sticks.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in another great position to succeed in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints have a solid defense, but they have allowed big games to Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) over the first two weeks of the season. JSN has established excellent early chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold, and has turned in two 100-yard receiving efforts to open the season. Smith-Njigba has been lacking in the touchdown department, which has tamped down his ceiling. However, that could change in Week 3 with the Seahawks becoming increasingly more comfortable in their new offense under coordinator Klint Kubiak. Smith-Njigba enters Week 3 as the WR13. He has finished as a fringe WR1 in each of the first two games of the season. Expect that level of production to continue in Week 3, with upside for more.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton (groin) is worth keeping an eye on in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. Horton earned his first targets and catches in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He scored on a 21-yard strike early in the game for his first career reception and touchdown. However, it is worth noting that Horton's snap percentage dipped from 54% in Week 1 to 40% in Week 2. Still, when Horton is on the field, he is running routes. Earning two targets on just 40% of the snaps as the No. 3 receiver is encouraging for the rookie. He is still not someone you should be looking to start, but if you have an extra roster spot and a dry waiver wire, he is worth a stash. Horton is a big-play threat waiting to happen. If he rips off a couple of big plays in multiple games in a row, your whole fantasy league will be on notice. It will be better to be ahead of the curve if Horton begins to deliver for fantasy. Horton is entering Week 3 with a groin injury, but he should be good to go without any limitations. Keep an eye on his snap count in Week 3 to see if his role increases.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant could be pushing for more playing time after registering his first career statistics last weekend. The rookie caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Week 2, and his solid showing could lead to more opportunities in the passing game when Denver takes on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3. Of course, Bryant will still have to earn his targets. Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin have both established themselves at the top of the pecking order, while Marvin Mims Jr. will maintain a moderate snap share thanks to his deep-threat role. However, Bryant still has a chance to carve out a role of his own. He's worth monitoring in deeper leagues and stashing on the bench in dynasty formats. However, he shouldn't be started for the time being. His position on the depth chart and matchup against a strong Chargers secondary are a little too concerning.

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman has seen a significant snap share through two games, and he should remain involved during Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Trautman has played at least 58 percent of the snaps in each of the Broncos' two contests thus far, averaging two catches, 7.5 yards, and 0.5 touchdowns per game. His pass-catching volume isn't exactly large, but his ability to get on the field as a blocker should continue to result in some opportunities for targets, especially around the goal line. However, he's not startable in fantasy football for the time being. In addition to operating behind Evan Engram on the depth chart, he also has a tricky matchup. The Chargers' defense has held two of the NFL's better tight ends -- Brock Bowers and Travis Kelce -- to an average of 3.5 catches and 42.5 yards per game.

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner is not a starting option in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. However, his usage is worth monitoring as players continue to settle into the team's new offense. Barner caught his first touchdown of the season in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also earned three targets after drawing just two looks in Week 1. Most importantly, Barner has played at least 85% of the snaps in both games this season. He is clearly outpacing rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo for playing time. Barner's specialty is blocking, but he has repeatedly demonstrated his receiving chops during each of his first two seasons in the league. If Barner can develop more chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold, he could end up presenting streaming potential in fantasy. For now, Barner should remain on waivers, but he could creep up the waiver wire if he emerges as a red zone threat. That could very well continue in Week 3.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is in line for another solid game in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. Myers has turned in two straight eight-point outings to start the season. While he is not lighting up the scoreboard for fantasy, he provides a great baseline for your kicker spot. The Seahawks have had success moving the ball in both Weeks 1 and 2, which has put Myers in plenty of positions to kick field goals and extra points. They should have no issue doing so again in Week 3 against a Saints team that has allowed at least 20 points in both games. Myers has remained accurate this season. He missed one field goal in Week 2, but has made every other field goal and extra point attempt this season. Look for him to push for a double-digit outing on his home turf in Week 3.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III looks to be a workhorse running back in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. No. 2 running back Zach Charbonnet (foot) is tagged as doubtful for this week, which means that Walker will likely receive a massive workload. Walker and Charbonnet had been in a near-even backfield split in terms of total touches. The Seahawks have been intentional with the usage of their running backs to keep both of them fresh and healthy. However, with limited running back experience behind Walker, he is going to have to receive the lion's share of touches out of necessity. The Saints have not been lit up by opposing running backs to begin the season, but Walker's volume alone gives him a chance to have a massive game. Walker has already seen a solid target share in the first two games of the season. With a substantial uptick in carries, he should knock on the door of RB1 status in Week 3.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is a potential streamer in Week 3 when Seattle hosts the New Orleans Saints. He is coming off a 17.8-point fantasy outing in Week 2. Darnold struggled in Week 1, but he shook off the jitters in Week 2 and threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns. As he continues to grow more comfortable in Seattle's offense, Darnold should be a solid matchup play. The Saints have allowed Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones to have QB1-level games in the first two weeks of the season. That type of production can be expected of Darnold against a Saints defense that has been solid but not spectacular thus far this season. Many forget that Darnold was a legitimate QB1 in 2024 with the Minnesota Vikings. He is stepping into an offense with a lot of new pieces and a new offensive coordinator. It is only a matter of time before the production begins to flow.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo enters Week 3 as a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option following his breakout performance against Dallas. Skattebo scored 12.9 fantasy points in Week 2, earning a 50% timeshare and critical snaps late in the game, indicating he may be taking over the backfield, especially with Tyrone Tracy Jr. nursing a calf injury. He faces a significant challenge against a stout Kansas City Chiefs run defense that has allowed only two rushing touchdowns all season. The Chiefs rank as the 6th-toughest defense against fantasy running backs, allowing just 14.7 points per game to the position, which places Skattebo firmly in the RB3/flex category despite his promising usage.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. seems to have dropped to third on the depth chart, which makes him tougher to trust in fantasy football. While there was plenty of buzz about the 23-year-old opening the 2025 season as Denver's No. 2 wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton, he has primarily operated as the No. 3 receiver so far, earning fewer opportunities than Troy Franklin, too. Sutton and Franklin have combined for at least nine receptions in each of the last two weeks, while Mims has failed to amass more than three catches in a single game. He did find the end zone last Sunday, but that type of production won't be sustainable every week. For now, he can be dropped in most leagues, and even in deeper leagues or dynasty formats, he belongs on the bench. That includes this week's matchup against the Chargers, who held every Raiders wide receiver not named Jakobi Meyers to three or fewer catches in Week 2.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White saw his usage climb in Week 2 but failed to capitalize on the opportunity. After logging just a 14% snap share in the opener, the veteran's workload jumped to 30% against the Chargers. However, the results were disappointing -- White lost two yards on his two rushing attempts and caught two of three targets for 15 yards. With Raheem Mostert inactive the past two weeks but waiting in the wings, White's inefficiency could put his role as the Raiders' RB2 in jeopardy. Fantasy managers may want to monitor this backfield closely, as Mostert's presence could quickly shift the pecking order.

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson enters Week 3 with a strong outlook as he prepares to face the Kansas City Chiefs at home. After a slow start in Week 1, Wilson's explosive 450-yard, three-touchdown game against Dallas has vaulted him to the QB7 overall, averaging an impressive 23.8 fantasy points per game. The Chiefs' defense presents a beatable matchup. At the same time, they limit yardage, they have already surrendered three passing touchdowns, and have a below-average red zone defense that allows scores on 66.7% of opponent trips. Kansas City's vulnerability is confirmed by their fantasy ranking, where they sit 25th against the position by allowing 19.73 points per game against QBs, cementing Wilson as a possible fantasy start for the upcoming week.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty could finally find some breathing room in Week 3 against a middling Washington Commanders defense. The rookie has opened the season with tough assignments, facing the league's No. 3 and No. 8 run defenses, leaving many fantasy managers uneasy about his early production. This matchup presents a more favorable opportunity, as Washington has struggled to contain opposing ground games. With Marcus Mariota starting under center for the Commanders instead of Jayden Daniels, the Raiders may even find themselves in a position to build an early lead. That scenario would set up a run-heavy game plan, boosting Jeanty's volume and upside. He profiles as a high-end RB2 play in season-long formats and a cost-effective option for DFS lineups this week.

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe missed his only field goal attempt from 40 yards in the 26-21 loss to the 49ers in Week 2. He is now 2-for-4 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points on the season. Grupe looks to rebound against the Seahawks, who allowed Chris Boswell to convert three field goals from 40+ yards last week. Despite the matchup, Grupe can remain off fantasy radars this week.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave led the team in receptions, yards, and targets in Week 2, finishing with 6 catches for 54 yards on 10 targets. He's built strong chemistry with quarterback Spencer Rattler, totaling 13 receptions for 108 yards on 23 targets through two games. Olave is still searching for his first touchdown of the season, but Kellen Moore's aggressive passing offense suggests it's coming soon. As long as he stays healthy, his weekly target share keeps him in the WR2/WR3 mix.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed turned five targets into four receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the 49ers. He's been targeted 14 times through two games by starting quarterback Spencer Rattler, and with Kellen Moore's pass-heavy offense unlikely to slow down, opportunities should remain plentiful. Shaheed continues to be a big-play threat, and he faces a Seahawks defense in Week 3 that has allowed at least one reception of 45+ yards in each of their first two contests. He projects as a WR3/Flex option for that matchup.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has been one of the biggest fantasy surprises to start the season, ranking as the No. 2 tight end in PPR scoring through the first two weeks. He has totaled 13 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets from quarterback Spencer Rattler. Johnson could see another busy day against the Seahawks, who have allowed 108 yards and two touchdowns to tight ends through their first two games. He is ranked as the No. 7 tight end on RotoBaller and remains a strong TE1 option.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara came close to the century mark on the ground in Week 2, rushing 21 times for 99 yards and adding six catches on six targets for 21 yards. His workload spiked from 13 touches in Week 1 to 27 in Week 2, showing the Saints are comfortable feeding him as much as possible. While that level of volume won't always hold, Kamara faces almost no competition for meaningful work, with Kendre Miller logging just five carries for eight yards. Kamara profiles as a high-upside RB2 against a Seahawks defense that allowed 134 total yards to Jaylen Warren last week.
