Fantasy Football Week 3 Rankings & Start/Sit Advice
Week 3 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice
D.K. Metcalf (SEA) vs. ATL: Metcalf is still a big, dominant receiver with the ability to outmuscle any cornerback for a jump ball downfield.

Unfortunately, he’s surrounded by incompetence. But maybe this will be the week he gets his mojo back: The Falcons defense is No. 3 in most FPPG allowed to wide receivers (42.2).
JuJu Smith-Schuster (KC) at IND: If you want to focus on the fact that Smith-Schuster had just three targets for 10 yards last week, do it. I’ll be over here, sitting at my computer and watching highlights of the guy who leads QB Patrick Mahomes’ wide receiver unit in targets (11), receptions (9) and yards (89). Yeah, they’ll be highlights of him dancing on TikTok …

… but that ain’t nothing. Colts slot CB Kenny Moore — the defender Smith-Schuster will likely face the most — has allowed 1.48 yards per coverage snap, 9.6 yards per target and two touchdowns this year (per PFF).
Drake London (ATL) at SEA: Entering the NFL, London had everything I’d want in a rookie receiver, given his size (6-4, 219 pounds), age (21 years old), NFL draft capital (No. 8 overall) and college production (88-1,084-7 receiving in eight games as a junior). At the time, I compared him to Larry Fitzgerald and Mike Evans, and through two NFL games he has lived up to the hype with 13-160-1 receiving on 19 targets (and a 2-point conversion). The Seahawks defense is No. 30 in pass DVOA (47.2%): London could go off.
