WR:
Wan’Dale Robinson, New York Giants
He is the most targeted player in the Giants offense behind only Mailk Nabers, and he has at least 6 catches in two of his three games so far this season. There aren’t many playmakers on this Giants team, so Robinson will continue to see action and could be a reliable flex option in deeper PPR leagues, especially when bye weeks begin. If he has another solid game on Thursday against the Cowboys, though, he may not make it to the bye weeks. If you like him, get him now.
Darnell Mooney, Atlanta Falcons
Mooney made some big plays in the second half of week two, and it seemed to have earned him the trust of Kirk Cousins. He was good again in week three against a tough Chiefs defense, making 9 catches. He led the team in receiving yards in week two, tied London for the team lead in week three and led them in receptions in week three as well.
Allen Lazard, New York Jets
He now has 3 TD catches this season, and for now, he should be considered the WR2 in the Jets offense. He isn’t as talented as Mike Williams, but he does have a history with Aaron Rodgers, and it is paying off in the early part of this season.
Jalen Tolbert, Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys seem to be pretty bad. Their defense looks atrocious, and their running game is non-existent. Lamb and Ferguson are Dak’s favorite targets, without a doubt, but Tolbert has been getting opportunities to make plays and has double-digit PPR points in each of the past two weeks. He has an upside this week against the Giants and could develop into a nice weapon for Dak, especially if the Cowboys continue to play from behind.
Tutu Atwell, Los Angeles Rams
He led all Rams WRs in targets and tied Parkinson for the team lead in targets in week three. He had 93 yards receiving, which was nearly triple the amount of Demarcus Robinson, who was 2nd on the team in receiving. This wont be the case every week, but Atwell has been in the Rams system for a while and has big play ability. He is worth a flier in deeper leagues because he has a gunslinger at QB.
DeMario Douglas, New England Patriots
The Patriots offense is bad, so other than Stevenson and maybe Hunter Henry, you likely aren’t using many of their players. Still, I can’t ignore the 9 targets that Douglas saw in week three and that he caught 7 of them for 69 yards. He saw more than triple the targets of any other WR on the team.
TE:
Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears
I think the Colts defense is pretty terrible, so I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself, but Kmet had a monster day against them in week three. He saw 11 targets, catching 10 of them for 97 yards and a TD. Things could change when Keenan Allen returns from injury. However, that could affect the WR targets more than it affects Kmet.
Tyler Conklin, New York Jets
I wouldn’t go crazy here because it might have been matchup-dependent, but Rodgers looked very good in week three, and Conklin was a big part of it. Conklin was second on the team in targets, tied Garrett Wilson in receptions, and led the team in receiving with 93 yards.
