It’s been three weeks so far and while it feels like what has happened is destined to keep happening, we have enough evidence from previous seasons to know that everything is still in flux. The hardest thing for a great fantasy GM to do is realize some of his players are over performing and identify players on another team that are underperforming and pull the trigger. That is why I am going to do here. Find some players that might on an unsustainable track and those that need to get on track. It’s never as linear as we might want, but there are some metrics that might help as well as injuries that can help or hinder a player breaking through.
Buy-Low
Drake London – WR – ATL
London was my guy and while I was adamant about going RB early, London was the WR I targeted when the elite RBs were gone. Through three games, London is the WR44 and has zero TDs. The good news is that he is also eighth in targets and ninth in receptions. The problem isn’t with London, it’s Michael Penix Jr. The reason many were so high on London was how he finished the season, linking up with Penix at an absurd rate. ATL has a great matchup vs. WAS and then a bye week, so if Penix and London don’t get on track, it’s possible Kirk Cousin could be starting by Week 6. While putting all your eggs in one basket isn’t ideal, Week 4 is make-or-break for the ATL passing offense. I’m buying London because he is who we think he is. This might be the last buy-low window for many years to come. Smash it.
Matthew Golden – WR – GB
Everyone loves a rookie WR and when they don’t pop from Week 1, everyone loses their minds. Golden is following the track that every rookie WR followed until Justin Jefferson created a new one. Golden only had four targets and 5.1 PPR fantasy points over the first two weeks, but the path has been cleared for him to break out. With Christian Watson and Jayden Reed out, Golden is going to succeed by sheer necessity. Golden emerged in Week 3, leading the GB receivers in receptions (four), targets (four), receiving yards (52). Like London, this is the last chance to get Golden at a discount. With DAL on the docket for SNF, Jordan Love is going to send a message and it will be on the back of Golden. This window has a clock.
Tetairoa McMillan – WR – CAR
This rookie hasn’t stumbled out of the gate, but he’s about to hit his stride. Tet has at least eight targets in all three games and the CAR defense isn’t as good as it looks. CAR doesn’t have depth at WR and even getting Jalen Coker back might help him. He had a 34% target share with 90 air yards in Week 3 and CAR might play the three worst defenses over the next three games. If you are desperate for a winning streak, ride Tet as he is on the verge of making the jump to a true WR1.
Brock Bowers – TE – LV
Bowers was the TE2 in Week 1 and then got hurt and has playing at less than 100%. The Raiders can’t run the ball and the secondary is terrible, so plan for plenty of shootouts. The schedule is very friendly and Bowers is the best TE in football, he just needs to get healthy, which he should be ASAP. Vegas has passed for the 4th most yards this season and and the Bears have allowed the most passing TDs. Trust Bowers to get on track this week and then keep his foot on the pedal the rest of the season.
Breece Hall – RB – NYJ
Breece Hall’s usage remains firmly in his favor: 55% snaps and a 46-16 touch edge over Braelon Allen, but the question is he the RB from Week 1 or Week 2. The difference is between the RB9 and the RB 44 and if you need convincing, the Jets schedule might be the softest in the entire league over the next five games. I’m not a huge believer in Hall, but I am in his ability to shred bad defenses and the Jets commitment to the running game. The o-line is holding up as they rank 16th in pass blocking, and 7th in run blocking. This is a run-first team with Breece Hall as the tip of the spear. He has some volatility, but he has top-10 upside with a built in floor if he can stay healthy.
TreVeyon Henderson – RB – NE
Henderson is a big miss so far as he seemed destined to be a core part after blowing up in the preseason. The Pat o-line is holding up, but it’s doing so for Rhamdonre Stevenson. After two costly fumbles in Week 3, it would be shocking if Stevenson doesn’t get benched in favor of the explosive rookie. With a game vs. CAR on deck, expect the rookie to have a couple explosive plays and get back on the must-start radar. Henderson is about to sky-rocket through the rankings and this might your last chance to get something for almost nothing.
Trevor Lawrence – WR – JAC
Lawrence does not have the offense firing on all cylinders, but volume isn’t the problem. He’s thrown 40+ passes in two of the three games and with plenty of weapons, the issue has been drops. Four of the top-nine WRs in drop rate are Jaguars, so we have to assume this is some freakish cycle that will break. The talent is indisputable and even Brian Thomas Jr. doesn’t run it back with a top-10 season, he will be better than the WR54. Travis Hunter also isn’t a bust, but he is also better than the WR75. The only real issue is the schedule doesn’t do the Jags any favors over the next stretch. This offense has too much talent and Liam Cohen not to figure it out.
