Week 3 Fantasy Football: Loveland, Herbert Final Chances

ESPN NFL •
×

Adam Rank breaks down vital Week 3 fantasy insights. Despite poor starts, the Chargers earn one last look — but Bryce Young, drafted in just 9% of ESPN leagues in Week 2, offers a stronger option after two of his five best fantasy performances this season. Jared Goff has piled up at least 20 fantasy points in five of his last six games, while Patrick Mahomes averages 21 PPG since last season, second among QBs. Geno Smith faces Detroit's generous pass defense as injury replacement only.

Running backs struggled in Week 2, with just eight scoring 15+. Jonathan Taylor leads the way against Houston, while David Montgomery bounces back vs. Indianapolis. Kenneth Walker III has back-to-back 23-point games, and Christian McCaffrey recorded his 70th 20+ fantasy game, tying LaDainian Tomlinson's 2000-era mark.

Receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba (42.5 points) and Davante Adams (39.5 in his best LA game) shine, while De'Von Achane's note trails off.
