Kendrick Bourne Deep League Desperation Flex Option vs. the 49ers

Saturday, September 26, 2:36 PM

Arizona Cardinals wideout Kendrick Bourne has been the team's most productive receiver through two games. The 31-year-old leads all Cardinals receivers in catches (10) and receiving yards (86). Bourne has been the team's preferred slot receiver and has played at least 60% of Arizona's offensive snaps in both games this season. However, Bourne is the WR3 on the depth chart behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson, thus capping his upside. The veteran enters Week 3 as RotoBaller's PPR WR65 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers defense has allowed the seventh-fewest passing yards this season. The Cardinals could find themselves in a pass-heavy game script early, which could make Bourne fantasy-viable. If Bourne sees a large target share as he did in Week 1, he could produce as a playable flex option in deep leagues on Sunday.

Jalen Nailor Better Left on Benches in Week 3

Saturday, September 26, 9:38 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor has not done enough through two weeks to make himself a comfortable Week 3 option against New Orleans. Nailor has four catches for 36 yards on eight targets, and he played only 60% of the offensive snaps in each of the first two games. He is still listed as a starter opposite Tre Tucker, but the role has not produced much. Brock Bowers is also questionable after missing Friday's practice, and his return would add another target to an offense that already has several mouths to feed. The matchup itself is workable, with New Orleans allowing 204 passing yards per game through two weeks. Nailor sits at WR71 in RotoBaller's latest Week 3 rankings, which fits how difficult he is to trust right now. Unless the Raiders suddenly lean on him more heavily, Nailor belongs on fantasy benches in most leagues this week.
