Week 3 fantasy football sleepers spotlight under-owned wide receivers
Analyst Scott Pianowski highlighted a group of under-owned wide receivers that could see increased production in Week 3 of the NFL season, according to Yahoo Sports. He said these players could become valuable sleepers in Yahoo fantasy leagues. Fellow fantasy analyst Derek Brown also offered Week 3 start-sit guidance for quarterbacks, naming Jared Goff and Bryce Young as strong options while warning about Trevor Lawrence and Michael Penix Jr. , and later outlined wide receiver advice, favoring Drake London and Matthew Golden over Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs.
Earlier, Yahoo Sports had listed low-ownership waiver-wire targets such as Jonah Coleman, Tank Bigsby and Bryce Young for Week 3. Earlier in the season, fantasy analysts evaluated Week 1 performances, flagging overhyped players and suggesting pickups such as Caleb Williams, Carnell Tate and Devaughn Vele for Week 2, CBS Sports reported. Subsequent coverage from outlets including Footballguys, NBC Sports, Bleacher Report and others provided start-sit recommendations for Week 2, highlighting the impact of injuries, weather concerns and the emergence of Carson Wentz as a potential quarterback after Kyler Murray’s injury. Analysts also noted low-cost flex options and warned about five players to consider benching in Week 2.
