Dominate Your League

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte led the position groups last Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, getting on the field for 56 snaps, which equated to a 76 percent snap share. Boutte saw the field for at least 10 snaps more than each of his fellow receivers, and the only pass-catcher who out-snapped him was tight end Hunter Henry. Despite playing more than three quarters of the snaps this season, the LSU product has failed to replicate the Week 1 showing in which he caught six passes for 103 yards. Over his last two games combined, he has just three catches on four targets, though he did add a touchdown along the way. Boutte's snap share suggests he should be a low-end WR3/flex option, but his volume and production indicate that he should be left on the bench. For now, managers should oblige and leave the 23-year-old on the bench in most fantasy leagues. However, his ability to get on the field does spark some optimism.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 16 of 23 passes for 139 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots. It was a low-play volume day for the Steeers, running only 49 plays to the Patriots' 71. Rodgers checked down to running back Jaylen Warren most often, leading the team with six targets. But he did find both top wide receiver options in D.K. Metcalf and Calvin Austin III for touchdowns. He's established a solid connection with Austin in the early going, and he could be a valuable piece for them to help generate explosive plays. The upside for Rodgers with the Pittsburgh offense is not interesting enough for fantasy purposes, and he is best left on the waiver wire in standard redraft leagues and viewed as a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz completed 14 of 20 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns while adding two rushes for four yards in Minnesota's 48-10 rout of the Bengals. He also took three sacks for a loss of 19 yards. Wentz made his first non-Week 18 start since New Year's Day in 2023 with the Washington Commanders, when he had one of the worst games of his career, throwing for only 143 yards and tying a career high of three interceptions in a 24-10 loss to the Browns that essentially eliminated Washington from the playoffs. Wentz managed the offense well in this game; however, targeting Justin Jefferson most often and finding tight end T.J. Hockenson for a touchdown to get him going. There will inevitably be some frustrating moments with Wentz, but he will be able to operate Kevin O'Connell's offense at a competent level with the assortment of weapons at his disposal, plus Jordan Addison returning from suspension in Week 4. There's a chance he keeps it for the rest of the season if he plays well and the winning continues. He should be viewed as a priority pickup in most superflex leagues.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor hauled in four of his five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in their 41-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday. Ayomanor continues a productive start to his NFL career with five targets in each game and scoring again after his highlight first touchdown last week. He tied veteran Calvin Ridley for the team lead in targets in Week 1 with seven, tied Ridley and Chig Okonkwo in Week 2 with six, and then dropped down slightly to third against Indianapolis behind Okonkwo and Ridley with five. So the fourth-round rookie is running a full number of routes and earning volume right out of the gate. There is a lot to like with Ayomanor's start in the NFL and his prospect profile, putting him in the WR3/WR4 range with some upside moving forward, but Tennessee's offense will likely continue to struggle moving the ball.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten scored a touchdown for the second straight week in his team's 17-10 Week 3 win over the Houston Texans. The 23-year-old finished the game with six carries for 21 yards and a score, and has now logged 106 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 19 total touches this season. Tuten remains behind veteran running back Travis Etienne Jr. in the Jaguars' backfield pecking order. Still, Tuten has consistently flashed high-end upside and may be able to steal touches away from Etienne Jr. as the season progresses. Tuten should be rostered in all league formats, and he profiles as a low-end RB3/flex option in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt logged 10 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown in his team's 22-9 Week 3 win over the New York Giants. Hunt has rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries this season, adding four catches for 23 yards on five targets as well. While the 30-year-old has not been efficient on a per-touch basis, he could still be slowly stealing a larger share of the workload from Chiefs running back Isaiah Pacheco. Over the last two weeks, Hunt has recorded 20 touches, compared to 22 for Pacheco. Hunt may not have a ton of fantasy upside, but he should be rostered in deep leagues. In a tough Week 4 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, both Chiefs' backs profile as low-end RB3/flex options.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson was targeted a whopping 14 times in his team's Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears, hauling in 13 catches for 82 yards. Ferguson now has 27 catches for 183 yards on 32 targets through his first three games of 2025. With star Dallas wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) potentially facing a multi-week absence due to a high ankle sprain, Ferguson should be expected to maintain a sizable role in the Cowboys' passing game. The 26-year-old faces a tough matchup in the Green Bay Packers' defense in Week 4. Still, Ferguson profiles as a must-start tight end and is a priority waiver wire target in any league where he remains available.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney drew 11 targets in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers, three more than No. 1 receiver Drake London. Unfortunately, he was onlyable to haul in four of those targets, tallying 44 yards in the process and no scores. The 27-year-old's involvement is encouraging, but it seems that after three weeks, Michael Penix Jr.'s efficiency (47.9 QBR - 20th) and short passes (6.1 yards per attempt - 24th) are going to limit the entire receivingcorps in terms of receptions, yardage, and touchdowns, at least in the short term. On occasion last season, Mooney outtargetedLondon, but he earned double-digit targets just one time in 16 games played (compared to eight times for London), so this typeof target share should not be expected goingforward. Nevertheless, it appears the Tulane product is fully healthy after missing Week 1 with a shoulder injury, and he should settle in as an every-week PPR Flex option at a minimum. The 5-foot-11 wideout gets a favorable home matchup in Week 4 against the Commanders in what should be a competitive game, as Washington is only 1.5-point favorites early in the week.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 19 of 33 pass attempts for 196 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in his team's 33-26 Week 3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 37-year-old is off to a solid start to his 2025 season, completing 66.3% of his passes for 739 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions through three games. Stafford's complete lack of rushing ability limits his fantasy upside. Still, he's averaging over 30 pass attempts per game while piloting a Rams offense that can put up points in bunches. Stafford is worth rostering in all two-quarterback formats, and profiles as a low-end QB2 heading into his Week 4 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet was targeted just once in his team's Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys, but he made it count with a 10-yard touchdown grab. Kmet now has four catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on seven targets through the first three games of 2025. Perhaps most importantly for Kmet's fantasy outlook, Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland (hip) suffered a hip injury in Week 3. Loveland's injury is not considered serious, and he reportedly has a chance to play in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Still, Kmet could be a low-end streaming option in deep leagues in Week 4 if Loveland is sidelined.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo (groin) was deemed limited for the team's walkthrough on Tuesday ahead of its Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night. Arroyo has just three catches for 38 yards on five targets through the first three games of his NFL career. Arroyo is behind AJ Barner on the tight end depth chart in Seattle, and third-stringer Eric Saubert could be in line for more playing time if Arroyo is unable to play on Thursday. Even if Arroyo is good to go in Week 4, he should remain off of fantasy radars.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (foot) was listed as a full participant for the second straight day this week on Tuesday's estimated injury report, according to John Boyle of Seahawks.com. Charbonnet missed the team's Week 3 blowout win over the visiting New Orleans Saints on Sunday with a foot injury, but he appears to be on track to return despite a short turnaround in Week 4 for a divisional clash against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night. The 24-year-old was unable to practice at all last week. Charbonnet's status on Wednesday will be worth watching. If he's able to return this week, it will be bad news for Kenneth Walker III's upside. In the first two games of the year, Walker and Charbonnet were involved in a timeshare. The former second-rounder has averaged just 2.1 yards per carry on 27 rushing attempts for 57 yards and a touchdown. If Charb is active on Thursday night, he'll be in play as an RB3/flex in fantasy lineups.

The New York Jets announced on Tuesday that they placed linebacker Quincy Williams (shoulder) on Injured Reserve. Williams injured his shoulder in the first half of the Week 3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was unable to return. The 29-year-old will now be forced to miss at least four games, and he will not be eligible to play again for the Jets until Week 8 on the road versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets also placed Marcelino McCrary-Ball (hamstring) on IR. Williams, a former third-rounder by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019 out of Murray State, will now have a tough time recording 100-plus combined tackles for the fifth straight season in 2025. He had 15 tackles (eight solo), 1.5 sacks, and two pass breakups for the Jets in the first three games this year.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that cornerback Darius Slay (leg) has a "leg contusion" and was in and out of the Week 3 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday. The injury may limit Slay in practice this week, but Tomlin expects him to be available for the Week 4 tilt this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. The 34-year-old should be able to suit up for this weekend's international game in Dublin, Ireland, but it's possible he won't play every defensive snap like he did the first two weeks of the season. The six-time Pro Bowler and former All-Pro has 10 solo tackles, two pass breakups, and a fumble recovery in his first three games with the Steelers in 2025. Pittsburgh's defense was uncharacteristically sloppy in the first two weeks before turning it around a bit in last week's win over the Pats. They'll look to keep it going in Ireland against Vikings veteran quarterback Carson Wentz.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed tight end Ko Kieft (leg) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday with a leg injury, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. It's a key loss for the Bucs' special-teams unit, and Kieft will be forced to miss at least four games. The earliest that he'd be able to return would be in a Week 8 divisional matchup on the road against the New Orleans Saints. However, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times is reporting that Kieft's leg injury could keep him sidelined for the rest of the 2025 season. The 27-year-old tight end apparently injured his leg in the Week 3 win over the visiting New York Jets on Sunday. With Kieft now out for the foreseeable future, Devin Culp will jump up into the No. 3 spot on the team's TE depth chart behind Cade Otton and Payne Durham, heading into a Week 4 showdown against the 3-0 Philadelphia Eagles.

The Houston Texans released safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday amid "friction behind the scenes with him complaining about his role," league sources told Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Gardner-Johnson also wanted to blitz more and even said he wanted to be traded. With the 27-year-old no longer in Houston, the Texans will move forward with M.J. Stewart as the next man up at safety. Gardner-Johnson actually played at least 94 percent of the defensive snaps in the Texans' first three games of the season, but he was still unhappy with his role and wanted out. In his short time in Houston, he racked up 15 tackles (11 solo). The former fourth-round pick in 2019 by the New Orleans Saints should be able to latch on quickly with another team in need of reinforcements in their defensive backfield.

The New York Giants are signing former Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Koo landed on the free-agent market early this year after the Falcons replaced him with Parker Romo. The 31-year-old will now get another chance in the NFC East with regular Giants kicker Graham Gano dealing with a groin injury that he suffered in pre-game warmups before the Sunday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Gano was considered questionable to play in Week 3 after his injury, but he eventually made a 25-yard field goal try in the fourth quarter. If Gano is unable to play in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Koo could be brought up to serve as the kicker on Sunday. Koo has an 85.8% success rate on FGs in his eight NFL seasons, but he went just 25-for-34 (73.5%) last year and missed one of his three attempts in Week 1 with Atlanta before being cut. For now, Koo should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy leagues.

The Seattle Seahawks announced on Tuesday that they signed free-agent running back Khalil Herbert to their practice squad, according to The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta. The move comes after Zach Charbonnet (foot) missed the team's blowout win over the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 3 on Sunday. The 27-year-old Herbert will provide additional backfield depth for Seattle if Charbonnet is forced to miss more time, starting with this Thursday night's tilt against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. With Charb out last weekend, George Holani was the primary backup to the oft-injured Kenneth Walker III. Herbert played with the Chicago Bears and Cincinnati Bengals in 2024, finishing with only 130 rushing yards and a touchdown on 36 carries while catching 10 passes for 25 yards in 14 games. He'll only find his way onto the fantasy radar if both Walker and Charbonnet are on the shelf at the same time.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that running back Kimani Vidal will be the "next man up" after Najee Harris suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in the Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday, according to Alex Insdorf. Harbaugh also said that general manager Joe Hortiz will be "scouring the market" to see what else is available at the RB position. The Chargers are expected to lean on rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton as their lead back moving forward, with Harris done for the year, with Vidal and Hassan Haskins mixing in behind him in change-of-pace duties. Vidal, a former sixth-rounder in 2024, did not make the active 53-man roster out of training camp and was sent to the practice squad. The 24-year-old averaged 3.6 yards per carry for 155 rushing yards on 43 attempts in his rookie season. Vidal can probably remain on the waiver wire for now in most single-year fantasy leagues.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Skyy Moore saw a spike in Week 3's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Moore had seen just five offensive snaps through the first two games of the season, but saw his snap share shoot up to 52% in the 49ers' 16-15 win on Sunday. With Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder) absent from the game, Kendrick Bourne moved to the outside, opening the door for Moore to operate as the team's slot receiver. The jump in usage didn't equate to much production, however, and he finished the day with one reception for 10 yards. The increased role can't be expected to last. Now that Demarcus Robinson's three-game suspension has been served, Moore will be relegated to return duty in short order. So far in 2025, Moore has handled three kickoffs and eight punts for a combined 151 return yards.
