Week 3 Beyond the Box Score: Jaylen Warren, Malik Washington & Davante Adams NEARLY did so much more

Seahawks fullback Brady Russell was approximately three feet away from scoring a touchdown, representing unrealized red zone production.

Purdy had a 45-yard touchdown run called back by a holding penalty on George Kittle downfield. However, he compensated two plays later with a touchdown pass to Kittle, so the fantasy point total was not significantly impacted despite losing the rushing TD.

Lamb drew a 20-yard defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone in Week 3, indicating strong red zone target volume.

Godwin had an 85-yard touchdown catch called back by a holding penalty on Baker Mayfield's play-action. The penalty was justified as Mayfield needed the blocking hole to step up and deliver the seam throw, but Godwin showed good connection with Mayfield and speed on the play despite prior criticism of his athleticism.

CJ Donaldson was stopped just short of the goal line and did not score a touchdown on the same drive, representing unrealized red zone production.

Moore had significant unrealized air yards in Week 3, indicating downfield opportunity and target volume. He missed a 10-yard touchdown opportunity due to an overthrown pass, exemplifying the gap between opportunity and results.

Rams WR Davante Adams ranked second in unrealized air yards for Week 3 with 135 yards, indicating significant downfield opportunity and target volume despite incomplete results.

Adams was one of three most impacted players in Week 3; missed a 46-yard touchdown (beat his defender decisively with nobody near him) and a 40+ yard gain opportunity, yet still had an amazing game. Ian Hartitz notes that timing on double moves is tougher for QBs and receivers since they're accustomed to go routes, and emphasizes that studs in high-volume positions should be used as tiebreakers rather than benched against tough matchups.

Denzel Boston had two missed scoring opportunities in Week 3: a 23-yard catch called back by a holding penalty and a 14-yard touchdown overthrown by his quarterback. Both represent unrealized production independent of his own execution.

Derrick Henry was stopped just short of the goal line and did not score a touchdown in Week 3, representing unrealized red zone production.

Ravens WR Devontes Walker accumulated 102 unrealized air yards in Week 3 and led all players with a 49-yard defensive pass interference penalty down inside the 5-yard line against the Cowboys, indicating strong downfield opportunity and target volume.

Maye had a 21-yard touchdown run called back by a holding penalty that enabled the play to happen in the first place. The penalty was justified as it allowed Maye to escape and show off his elusiveness in the open field, though he likely would have been taken down inside the five-yard line without the hold.

Wilson drew a defensive pass interference penalty and/or got it in the end zone in Week 3, indicating strong downfield and red zone target volume.

George Helani was stopped just short of the goal line and did not score a touchdown on the same drive, representing unrealized red zone production.

George Pickens had a 20-yard catch called back by holding in Week 3. Ian Hartitz expresses strong conviction that Pickens will eventually break out, stating 'one of these days he is just going to blow up. Very much a matter of when, not if for me,' indicating high confidence in future production despite current penalty-negated opportunities.

James Cook was stopped just short of the goal line and did not score a touchdown in Week 3, representing unrealized red zone production.

Javante Williams was stopped just short of the goal line and did not score a touchdown in Week 3, representing unrealized red zone production.

Warren had an 87-yard run called back by a DK Metcalf holding penalty that Ian Hartitz deemed not egregious, then had another 11-yard run nullified by another Metcalf hold, totaling 98 yards removed from the box score by the same player's penalties. On the same drive as the 87-yard run, Warren got another big hole and was about to score a 32-yard touchdown but fumbled at the goal line. Despite strong opportunity and execution, Warren had a disappointing fantasy day; he said after the game he was not tired, but his body was tired.

Jeudy drew a defensive pass interference penalty and/or got it in the end zone in Week 3, indicating strong downfield and red zone target volume.

Jonathan Taylor had a 24-yard run called back by a holding penalty in Week 3, representing unrealized rushing production on the drive.

Keon Coleman was stopped just short of the goal line and did not score a touchdown on the same drive, representing unrealized red zone production.

Dolphins WR Kevin Coleman accumulated 106 unrealized air yards in Week 3, placing him among the top receivers with significant downfield opportunity despite incomplete targets.

Patriots WR Kyle Williams had a 36-yard gain that could have been a 50-yard touchdown in Week 3; he had time to catch the ball and get recentered with momentum no longer leading him out of bounds, but accidentally stepped out anyway. Per Ian Hartitz, Williams knew how to stay in bounds.

Washington is emerging as the engine of the Dolphins offense with Devon Achane out of the picture. He caught a 14-yard touchdown (nullified by illegal shift penalty unrelated to his play) and made a guy miss before dragging another defender into the end zone despite weighing only 190 pounds soaking wet. He also got behind the defense for a potential 43-yard touchdown that was overthrown. Ian Hartitz identifies Washington as one of the three most impacted players in Week 3 and notes the Dolphins have used him at running back over the past two weeks; with Achane out, the offense might actively start going through Washington, making him a potential waiver wire target.

Packers WR Matthew Golden led all NFL players with 154 unrealized air yards in Week 3, significantly ahead of second place (Davante Adams, 135). Through three weeks, Golden accumulated 95 defensive pass interference yards, which easily leads the NFL (second place is Trey Harris at 54 yards); his 95 DPI yards would rank sixth across the entire 2025 season. Ian Hartitz projects him inside his top 24 receivers for Week 4 and expects him to remain a consistent fantasy asset going forward.

Wilson had a great day in Week 3 with significant unrealized air yards, indicating downfield opportunity and target volume. He could have had a second touchdown after catching a pass from 12 yards out but was unable to get his second foot down in the end zone.

Parker Washington received four straight end zone targets from Trevor Lawrence in Week 3, demonstrating strong red zone involvement. He made a tough touchdown catch fighting through defensive pass interference at the catch point on one play; he also had a seven-yard end zone catch wiped off by an illegal use of hands penalty elsewhere on the field. Ian Hartitz praised his performance: 'Parker Washington is a stud' and noted 'good seeing Trevor Lawrence go back to him man.'

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes' Week 3 interception is not heavily penalized by Ian Hartitz; he hit Rashee Rice in the hands, though it was not a perfect throw and Rice had to slide down onto his back to attempt the catch. Hartitz considers the Trevor Lawrence throw to Bretton Strange a better real-life throw than Mahomes' pass to Rice.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice was targeted on a play where Patrick Mahomes hit him in the hands in Week 3, but the throw was not perfect and Rice had to slide down onto his back to attempt the catch; the ball went off his hands and was intercepted.

Bateman missed a 2-yard touchdown opportunity due to an overthrown pass out the back of the end zone in Week 3, part of Ian Hartitz's analysis of multiple missed scoring opportunities across the league.

Wilson had significant unrealized air yards in Week 3, indicating downfield opportunity and target volume. He was targeted on Aaron Rodgers' interception in Week 3; the pass hit him in the hands, continuing a pattern of Rodgers' INTs hitting receivers.

Hurst had significant unrealized air yards in Week 3, indicating downfield opportunity and target volume despite incomplete results.

Harris ranked second in defensive pass interference yards with 54 yards through three weeks, well behind Matthew Golden's 95 yards, indicating strong downfield target volume but trailing the league leader.

McBride drew a 19-yard defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone in Week 3, indicating strong red zone target volume and opportunity despite being stopped short of the goal line on an earlier drive.

Franklin drew a defensive pass interference penalty and/or got it in the end zone in Week 3, indicating strong downfield and red zone target volume.

Johnson had a 43-yard touchdown called back by a Dawson Knox holding penalty downfield on a fourth-down play set up by Josh Allen. The TD was wiped out despite being a well-executed play.

Flowers drew two defensive pass interference penalties for a combined 24 yards in Week 3, indicating strong downfield target volume and ability to draw coverage penalties.
