Week 3 Fantasy Football Sleepers: Streamers & Stashes

Terrence Ferguson views Adonai Mitchell as a strong stash and potential lineup option if healthy. Mitchell is currently neck-and-neck with Garrett Wilson in target share and appears to be in a year-three breakout season. If active, Ferguson would start him against Detroit.

Terrence Ferguson expects Breece Hall to remain heavily involved in the Jets' offense, particularly as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, following the team's struggles to establish the run in Week 2.

Brock Bowers is currently sidelined with an injury, which impacts the Raiders' offensive outlook. Terrence Ferguson suggests that fantasy managers who are nervous about their reliance on Bowers should consider adding Pat Freiermuth as a backup option.

Caleb Douglas is currently dealing with an injury for the Miami Dolphins, which opens up potential usage for other wide receivers on the roster.

Charlie Kolar is out for the week due to an injury, contributing to the lack of depth at the tight end position for his team.

David Njoku has been placed on the IR following an injury, clearing the way for other tight ends on the roster.

Terrence Ferguson views Deshaun Watson as a viable superflex starter, noting his QB12 finish in Week 2 with two passing touchdowns and 22 rushing yards, showing improvement over his Week 1 performance. Despite this, Ferguson notes that Watson's poor performance was a factor in the Carolina defense's success against Cleveland last week.

Eli Raridan is dealing with a thigh injury and did not practice on Thursday, making his availability for the upcoming game uncertain.

Terrence Ferguson recommends stashing Fernando Mendoza in deep formats as a high-upside option. He is considered a favorite stash candidate with potential to become fantasy-relevant if the Raiders' quarterback situation deteriorates or if Kirk Cousins continues to struggle with turnovers.

Terrence Ferguson projects a strong fantasy performance for Garrett Wilson in Week 3, citing favorable game flow and the matchup against the Lions. Wilson remains a primary target share benchmark for the Jets' passing attack.

Terrence Ferguson identifies Geno Smith as his favorite quarterback streamer for Week 3. Smith is expected to see high volume due to game flow and faces a Lions defense that is currently decimated at the safety position.

Hunter Henry is in line for a usage bump, especially if Eli Raridan is unable to play due to his thigh injury. Terrence Ferguson notes that the lack of competition from other tight ends should free up opportunities for Henry, who is projected to have his best game of the year against Jacksonville.

Terrence Ferguson notes that Jadarian Price is healthy and back in the lineup, though he expects the team to continue mixing in Emanuel Wilson, who is coming off a strong 21-carry, 92-yard performance in Week 2.

Jaylen Warren is highly ranked in flex rankings, but Terrence Ferguson expresses concern that his projected target volume might be siphoned off by Pat Freiermuth this week.

Terrence Ferguson recommends Kirk Cousins as a viable streaming quarterback, noting his six touchdown passes over the last two games and a QB10 finish in Week 2. Ferguson praises the Clint Kubiak offense for its effectiveness despite the team's injury issues, though he acknowledges concerns regarding Cousins' interception rate.

Ladd McConkey is currently limited by a rib injury, which Terrence Ferguson believes could lead to increased passing opportunities for other players like Aronda Gadson.

Terrence Ferguson expects Malik Washington to see a ramped-up, hyper-utilized role in the Dolphins' offense following the injury to Caleb Douglas. Washington has already accumulated 13 targets, seven catches, and one carry on the season, and played 43 of 59 snaps in his last outing.

Pat Freiermuth is a recommended waiver wire add and emergency tight end streamer. He has seen five targets in back-to-back weeks and faces a Bengals defense that historically struggles to cover tight ends. Terrence Ferguson suggests him as a backup option for managers nervous about Brock Bowers.

Terrence Ferguson views Rashod Bateman as a viable dart-throw flex following a strong Week 2 performance of seven catches for 88 yards and a touchdown. His opportunity has increased due to the injury to Jacobe Lane, and Ferguson notes that if Zay Flowers is ruled out, Bateman becomes a must-start in three-receiver formats.

Terrence Ferguson considered Sam Darnold as a potential streamer but prefers to wait and see how he performs in his first week back from injury before recommending him.

Ted Hurst is a must-stash player who is seeing high snap counts (73% in Week 2) and increasing target volume (seven targets in Week 2). He is a talented, athletic receiver who is likely to have a breakout game soon.

Terrence Ferguson is cited as an example of a player whose usage and production ramped up significantly, moving from zero points in week one to a strong performance in week two. Terrence Ferguson is projected to have another big week ahead.

Terrence Ferguson describes Travis Etienne as a shaky fantasy asset following a troubling Week 2 performance where he recorded only 10 touches and dealt with practice injuries, suggesting his usage is a significant concern.

Terrence Ferguson recommends Woody Marks as a stash and desperation streamer, citing his increased role in the passing game with six targets and five catches in Week 2, which has effectively cut into David Montgomery's workflow.

Terrence Ferguson identifies Xavier Hutchinson as a deep-league stash, citing his 80% snap share and 15 total targets on the season, noting he has outproduced Kayshon Boutte and Jalen Nowell in the Texans' offense. He should only be started in desperate situations, particularly in NFC-only formats.
