Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert faced his biggest challenge yet in Week 3 and delivered. He completed 28 of 47 passes for 300 yards, one touchdown, and his first interception of the season in the team's last-second 23-20 win over the Denver Broncos. Herbert played fearlessly, extending plays with his legs and connecting with Keenan Allen on a highlight-reel throw for a late fourth-quarter touchdown. He confidently led the Chargers downfield in the final minute, setting up Cameron Dicker's game-winning field goal. Next, they face the 0-3 Giants, who have a strong front four but a vulnerable secondary. With the run game finally opening up, Herbert has a balanced offense around him and plenty of weapons to look to. Fantasy managers should consider him a locked-in top-five QB moving forward.

When asked if Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie first-round wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is a potential Rookie of the Year candidate in 2025, head coach Todd Bowles said, "Right now, we don't even consider him a rookie." Egbuka was the talk of training camp this summer, and he's carried it over into the first regular-season games of his NFL career, catching 14 of his 21 targets for 181 yards and three touchdowns as the WR2 with Chris Godwin (ankle) still out. The Ohio State product had three touchdowns in his first two games and then set season highs in catches (six), targets (eight), and receiving yards (85) in the Week 3 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Egbuka will have more competition for targets when Godwin returns (possibly in Week 4), but the rookie will remain a big part of the passing attack all year long. He has quickly become a must-start in all fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught four of seven targets for 41 yards in the team's last-second win over the Denver Broncos, 23-20. While he remains without a touchdown, his late fourth-quarter first-down catch helped set up the game-winning field goal. McConkey is reliable but clearly behind Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston in red-zone targets. Next up is the New York Giants, who have been stingy with passing touchdowns, though their secondary has shown vulnerabilities against big plays. McConkey should continue to provide steady PPR production, but with a limited ceiling. Fantasy managers should consider him a WR3/FLEX option until his red-zone usage increases.

Dynasty | Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had 47 rushing yards, five catches, and 34 receiving yards in a win against New England. Dynasty Analysis: Warren had a whopping 23 touches on the day but only turned those into 81 scoreless yards. His first year as the lead back has gone pretty poorly as Warren is averaging just 3.1 yards per carry, which is far from the explosive five yards or more we routinely saw early in his career. The Steelers aren't blocking well, so it's not all his fault. Still, he's becoming a volume-based player who has a decent weekly floor but a ceiling that's looking pretty low as well. His ADP is starting to slip as a result of this slow start.

Dynasty | Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson had 28 rushing yards, three catches and 19 receiving yards in a loss to Pittsburgh. Dynasty Analysis: Most importantly, Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson combined for three fumbles, finally opening the door for Henderson to get some meaningful touches. We'll see if New England has lost faith in Stevenson and gives him some more run next week. If that happens, the buy low window will have likely closed in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty | Patriots tight end Hunter Henry had eight catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns in New England's loss to the Steelers. Dynasty Analysis: The Patriots lost the game based on some terrible mistakes and turnovers but Henry won't take the blame in this one. He had a whopping 11 targets to lead the team on the day and certainly made the most of them with one of his best days in the NFL. With two good days and one clunker mixed in, Henry will certainly be worth considering in lineups moving forward as a veteran who has a young quarterback's trust. He could also be a cheaper target for a contending dynasty team moving forward.

Dynasty | Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had 102 rushing yards, three catches, 16 receiving yards and three touchdowns in a convincing win against the Titans. Dynasty Analysis: An early favorite for fantasy MVP this season, Taylor looks healthy and like a man on a mission thus far for the 3-0 Colts. Daniel Jones has clearly opened things up for Taylor and he now has 338 rushing yards on the season, leading the NFL at the moment. There are always going to be injury concerns with him (and with any running back who gets this many touches) but Taylor looks as good as he ever has and his ADP is starting to climb with each passing week as a 26-year old runner who is hitting his prime.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward completed 23-of-38 passes for 219 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a blowout loss to the Colts. Dynasty Analysis: Ward was forced to throw more than what the Titans would have wanted but struggled to make an impact vertically for the third straight week. Ward has simply looked like a rookie thus far. He's attempting to manage games and Tennessee is clearly trying to minimize the number of hits and mistakes he could take or make every Sunday. At some point, the training wheels will have to come off for Tennessee to determine if he has what it takes to really lead a team. Until then, he's not really a lineup consideration.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald was not pleased with the team's rushing performance in their Week 3 blowout win over the visiting New Orleans Saints on Sunday. "It's not good enough. It's not even close to being good enough," Macdonald said. Running back Kenneth Walker III had 16 carries for only 38 yards, but he made up for it by scoring twice. Backup George Holani had 10 carries for only 27 yards with Zach Charbonnet (foot) inactive. While Walker's fantasy managers were pleased by his two-touchdown performance with Charbonnet out of the picture on Sunday, Macdonald's comments don't bode well for Walker's workload going forward if he continues to be inefficient on the ground. The 24-year-old averaged under 3.0 yards a carry in Weeks 1 and 3 while going for 8.1 yards a tote in a big Week 2 performance. When Charb returns (possibly in Week 4), Walker could see even fewer carries.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) suffered a dislocated shoulder in the first half of Sunday night's 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and is expected to miss some time, sources told Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Before injuring his right shoulder on a hard hit, Tracy had seven carries for 29 yards against KC. Rookie Cam Skattebo looked good in a lead-back role after Tracy's injury in Week 3 and will now step into a bigger role for however long Tracy is out. Devin Singletary will also see an expanded role as the RB2 heading into a Week 4 tilt against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 25-year-old Tracy deserves to be stashed in all fantasy leagues, but he could return to the RB2 role in the Big Apple if Skattebo runs away with the lead-back role while he's out. Skattebo had 10 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown and also caught six passes for 61 yards on Sunday night.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles confirmed on Monday that wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) will have an MRI exam on Tuesday, according to Brianna Dix of Buccaneers.com. As of now, Bowles said it seems to be a low-grade injury, but the staff will know on Tuesday if Evans will have to miss time. It sounds like the 32-year-old future Hall of Famer might have avoided a serious injury in Sunday's win over the New York Jets, but he could still be forced to miss a Week 4 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. The good news for Tampa is that they could get Chris Godwin back for the first time since he dislocated his ankle in Week 7 of last year. If Evans cannot play in Week 4, rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka and Sterling Shepard could be Tampa's top two wideouts, with the Bucs likely easing Godwin back in if he's active.

Although Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. wasn't all that efficient (3.5 yards per carry) in his 2025 debut in the team's 41-24 blowout win over the visiting Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, he did lead the team with 11 carries. Rodriguez was a healthy scratch the first two weeks, but he was elevated to the active roster for Week 3 after Austin Ekeler tore his Achilles in Week 2. The 24-year-old ran for 39 yards on his 11 carries and was not utilized in the passing game. Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt was second on the team with eight carries, and he, too, was inefficient with just 26 yards on the ground. Jeremy McNichols and quarterback Marcus Mariota combined for 10 rushing attempts and two touchdowns against the Raiders. Croskey-Merritt has the most upside in the Commanders' backfield moving forward with Ekeler done for the year, but Rodriguez is worth a waiver-wire pickup if you have JCM rostered or are looking for RB depth. Rodriguez is currently rostered in only 5% of Yahoo leagues.

A lot of fantasy managers probably thought that Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston's two-touchdown performance in the Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was an outlier, but then he went for 71 yards and a third TD on the year in the Week 2 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. In the 23-20 Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos, the former first-rounder caught six of his 10 targets for a team-high 89 yards, although he didn't find the end zone. His 10 targets were second to only Keenan Allen's 11, and the third-year wideout has made it clear that his Week 1 performance wasn't a fluke. Through three weeks, Johnston leads the Bolts with 239 receiving yards and is tied with Allen with three touchdowns while catching 14 of his 24 targets. If Johnston is still available in your league, pick him up immediately. He's currently rostered in 69% of Yahoo leagues.

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson completed 18 of 32 pass attempts for 160 yards, tossing two interceptions in his team's 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Wilson cooked the Cowboys for a tremendous 450 yards and three TDs in Week 2, but struggled to get anything going against a much more formidable defense. It's encouraging to see the veteran utilize his legs, even if he isn't as spry as he once was, as even 20 rushing yards a week will modestly raise his fantasy floor. Unfortunately, owners will be subject to clunkers such as this one, but New York is a pass-friendly environment as of now, with the team airing it out at the sixth-highest rate (62.23%). Wilson is more of a mid-back-end streaming option in the right matchups. Next weekend's meeting with the staunch Chargers' defense doesn't project to be one of them.

When asked about the team's ball security on Monday, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said the plan this week is to "practice the crap out of it." Running back Rhamondre Stevenson lost two crucial fumbles in the 21-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3 on Sunday, including one on the one-yard line in the third quarter. Stevenson has a history of ball-security issues, and it could cost him a key role in New England's backfield moving forward despite his big Week 2 performance. The 27-year-old had only four carries for 18 yards and caught all three of his targets for 38 yards through the air against Pittsburgh. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson was unable to take advantage on Sunday against the Steelers, but he could be New England's lead back in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. Stevenson will be a pretty risky RB3/flex who could be punished for putting the ball on the ground.

Dallas Cowboys backup running back Miles Sanders saw more run in Dallas' 31-14 blowout loss on Sunday in Week 3 to the hosting Chicago Bears, carrying the ball nine times for 41 yards and catching all three of his targets for an additional 12 yards through the air. The 28-year-old looked the best he had in the third game of the season and had 4.6 yards per carry, although his elevated usage mostly came in garbage time in the second half with the Cowboys down by multiple scores. Four of his nine carries came on the last possession of the game, so fantasy managers looking for RB depth aren't going to be able to count on this kind of workload consistently moving forward, especially once the team finally decides to involve rookie Jaydon Blue (he's been a healthy scratch all three weeks). Right now, Sanders is merely a handcuff for fantasy managers who have Javonte Williams rostered.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum gained 53 yards on eight carries in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Los Angeles collapsed late after commanding a significant lead over the reigning Super Bowl champions. Still, Corum continued to see an increase in his volume for the second straight week. Backfield mate Kyren Williams had handily outsnapped him 92-28 through the first two weeks, and did so again on Sunday (50-16). However, the 24-year-old has been the more efficient runner, posting three yards more per carry than his veteran counterpart (7.1). Corum won't be seizing the RB1 role in LA any time soon, but he's firmly on the high-end handcuff radar. We'll see if he can continue trending up when the Rams take on the surprise 3-0 Indianapolis Colts in Week 4.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs was a non-factor in Week 3's 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns, catching both of his targets for 25 scoreless yards. Sunday was an excellent matchup for those who love a defensive battle, but the offenses on both sides suffered. Doubs continued pacing the Packers' wideouts in snaps by a wide margin. However, his production dipped for the second game in a row since a team-leading 68 yards in Week 1. There was some hope that with his status as the operating WR1, the volume would follow suit. However, Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Matthew Golden both out-targeted him (four) despite running on 14 and 12 fewer snaps, respectively. Better days are ahead for Green Bay's offense, but they're rushing the ball at the fourth-highest rate in the league (50.29%), leaving little margin to support more than one pass-catcher per game. They'll face the Cowboys on the road in Week 4.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn reports on Monday that quarterback Justin Fields (concussion) will remain the team's starter once clearing concussion protocol. "Justin came in as our starter," Glenn said. "He's been our starter. Tyrod was the backup...So once Justin is clear, I'll let you know exactly where we're going." It sounds like New York's new head coach isn't willing to give up on the 26-year-old QB just yet. With the Jets squaring off against the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, we may not receive an update regarding Fields until later in the week, but as of now, he should be on track to suit up for that contest. However, if he can't, it'll be backup Tyrod Taylor calling signals once more. The Ohio State product will be one to monitor over the coming week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught 4-of-5 targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 29-27 win against the visiting New York Jets. Shepard sneakily climbed up to Tampa Bay's second-leading receiver with his second straight four-catch outing -- trailing only rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka in yards. He's also second on the team in receptions (11), though Egbuka, Mike Evans, and running back Bucky Irving are all tied ahead of him (14). Despite this, his 15 targets on the season thus far are quite a bit behind Evans (27) and the rookie (21). Moreover, Tampa Bay is attempting a pass at the ninth-fewest rate through three weeks, meaning the passing pie won't be big enough to support him when veteran Chris Godwin (ankle) returns. Shepard still may have some productive outings, but his floor could soon be alarmingly low.
