Overview

  • Managers are pivoting to Bengals QB Jake Browning after Joe Burrow’s injury, with recent production of 241 yards and two touchdowns and a matchup against Minnesota drawing streamer interest.
  • With Aaron Jones out, Jordan Mason is expected to lead the Vikings’ backfield, and FantasyPros projects a 17–20 touch workload supported by strong efficiency metrics.
  • Saints TE Juwan Johnson enters Week 3 as a recommended start, ranking TE2 in points per game with roughly a 25% target share plus team-leading red-zone looks.
  • Emerging wideout streamers highlighted across outlets include Denver’s Troy Franklin (83% snap share in Week 2), the Giants’ Wan’Dale Robinson after an 8-catch, 142-yard game, and Tennessee’s Elic Ayomanor on sustained target volume.
  • USA TODAY, FantasyPros and FanSided converge on additional options such as Trevor Lawrence at QB, Rachaad White and Tyler Allgeier at RB, Harold Fannin Jr. at TE, and the Buccaneers defense, with several outlets attributing the surge in streaming to early-season injuries; one report cites as many as five starting QBs out, though totals vary by source.
