Week 3 Fantasy Football Losers: Chase Brown, Jerry Jeudy, Jordan Love & More

Biggest Week 3 Fantasy Football Disappointments

• 📉 Chase Brown is highlighted as a major loser due to a dismal performance from the entire Bengals offense, with him personally struggling with negative rush average, poor blocking, and an inability to make defenders miss.
• 💡 Despite Jake Browning's usual effectiveness, Brown's struggles predate Burrow's absence, with declining yards before and after contact, and a lack of broken tackles.
• 🎯 Jerry Jeudy is flagged for his low output, catching only one pass for 17 yards on five targets, in an offense where Joe Flacco is spreading the ball widely, making it hard to predict targets.
• ⚠️ Jacory Croskey-Merritt (referred to as Bill) is not the clear starting running back for the Commanders, averaging only 3.3 yards per carry and being saved by touchdowns, with Deebo Samuel also returning to the running game.

Quarterback and Receiver Woes

• 🏈 Jordan Love is considered a loser after scoring only 13 fantasy points, facing immense pressure from his offensive line and dealing with injuries to key receivers like Jaden Reed and Tucker Craft.
• 🏃‍♂️ A concern for Love is his lack of rushing, which was expected to provide an additional boost, and the team's inability to get him moving in the pocket.
• 🤕 Brian Thomas Jr. is also a disappointment, with a lack of connection to Trevor Lawrence, potential lingering injury effects, and an offense struggling to pass effectively, leading to a lack of double-digit PPR point games.
• 🎯 Despite a high target share for other Browns players, Jeudy's inconsistency and poor play might even make him droppable in some 12-team leagues.

Running Back Concerns and Future Outlook

• 📉 Ashton Jeanty had a poor outing with 17 carries for 6.3 fantasy points and no catches, with the team struggling to involve him in the passing game and get him the ball in space.
• ❓ The discussion includes whether to bench players like Brian Thomas Jr. for other receivers who have performed more consistently, despite Thomas Jr.'s draft capital.
• 📊 The Patriots' running backs fumbled three times in Week 3, with Rhamondre Stevenson fumbling twice and Antonio Gibson once, potentially impacting the fantasy landscape.
• 📈 Trayvon Henderson saw increased carries after Gibson's fumble but also struggled, indicating potential shifts in the Patriots' backfield.
