Fantasy Football Losers: Week 3

Cam discusses the losers in fantasy football from week 3!

QB Derek Carr-New Orleans Saints: 

Just when you forget that Carr is Carr, he reminds you. He only completed 14-25 passes for 142 yards. He threw one touchdown and an INT. Most importantly, his offense was completely stopped, only putting up 12 points.

WR Tony Pollard-Tennessee Titans: 

Pollard was effectively Derek Henry’s replacement. On six carries, he only rushed for 14 YDs. In fairness, the team isn’t good at all, and they are constantly playing from behind. The Titans will be competing for the no.1 pick all season.’

RB D’Andre Swift-Chicago Bears: 

The same holds true for Swift in Chicago. He’s been a solid runner, but when you’re constantly playing from behind, there is no room for him to rush. It wasn’t for a lack of trying to utilize him, though; he rushed the ball 13 times for only 20 yards. The offensive line is truly offensive. They can’t protect QB Caleb Williams, and they can’t create holes for their running game.

TE Travis Kelce-Kansas City Chiefs: 

The way I don’t normally praise players on losing teams, I also don’t normally hammer players on winning teams…but I have to here. There is something wrong with Kelce. He only caught four passes for 30 YDs and was a ghost on the field for most of the night. And those four catches doubled his output for the year. He now only has eight catches and 69 receiving YDs for the year. And he hasn’t caught a TD pass yet.

RB Bijan Robinson-Atlanta Falcons: 

Robinson did score a TD Sunday night, but also made the last play to effectively end the game for the Falcons, not being able to get a yard on 4th and 1. He had 16 rushes for only 31 yards.

Dallas Cowboys: 

What can you say about this performance by the Cowboys? They were again awful this week, at home…with Jerry Jones watching closely. With the game completely out of reach, they managed to score 19 points in the fourth quarter, which made it look like a game, but it really never was doubtful. They can’t run the ball and don’t have an effective RB. And QB Dak Prescott and WR Cee Dee Lamb aren’t clicking like they did last year…maybe they are too busy counting their money.

Arizona Cardinals: 

Just when you think QB Kyler Murray will become the playmaker everyone hopes he’ll be, he and his Cardinals turn into a pumpkin. They just can’t gain any consistency. He passed for 207 yards and led the team with 45 rushing yards. Only putting up 13 points at home isn’t going to beat many teams.

Miami Dolphins: 

The Dolphins are now down to their third-string quarterback, Skyler Thompson, who left the game with a rib injury. Has anybody bothered to reach out to Tom Brady? The Dolphins look completely inept without Tua Tagovailoa, and the season could be hanging by a thread. Thankfully for them, they only have the Titans and the Patriots over the next two weeks.
