Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains a Top Wide Receiver Option in Week 3

Friday, September 25, 4:12 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has gotten off to a dominant start to the 2026 season, recording 19 catches for 209 yards and four touchdowns on 27 targets across his first two games played. The Lions have been forced into pass-heavy game scripts because of their struggling defense, and St. Brown remains the clear number one option in his team's passing game. In Week 3, the Lions will host the New York Jets. The Jets have been tough to pass on so far this season, ranking second in the NFL in both total passing yards (285) and yards per pass attempt (4.7) allowed. While that adds an element of uncertainty to St. Brown's outlook, the 26-year-old has been one of the most reliable target-earners in fantasy football in recent seasons. All in all, St. Brown profiles as a must-start WR1 for fantasy managers in Week 3.

Zay Flowers Will "Likely Be on a Pitch Count" if Active for Week 3

Saturday, September 26, 6:06 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) will "likely be on a pitch count" if he gets cleared to play in his team's Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Flowers suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1 that sidelined him in Week 2, and he's officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday. Per Fowler, the star wideout is expected to test out his hamstring pregame before the Ravens make a final call on his status against the Cowboys. When healthy, Flowers profiles as a clear must-start wide receiver for fantasy managers, especially in a favorable matchup against Dallas. His production could suffer if he's unable to play his normal snap share, and fantasy managers may have to decide whether or not to start Flowers before knowing his status. Still, Flowers' high-end production upside could be worth the risk.
