Sunday Morning Gametime
The 2024 Fantasy Football season is well underway with Week 3 having already started with the Thursday Night Matchup between the Patriots and the Jets. If you were anything like me the likes of running back Rhamondre Stevenson and tight end Hunter Henry might have you in a little hole.
Trailing in a few of my redraft leagues as a result of the Thursday night dud from the Patriots offense, I am looking for rebound action from the following players this week.
Running Back
I have Zach Charbonnet slotted in a couple of lineups, as he will be the de facto starter today with running back Kenneth Walker still sidelined. The Seahawks ball carrier has a tasty matchup today against a Dolphins defense that is allowing nearly 5 yards per tote. The Dolphins defense has also surrendered three rushing touchdowns in this short season, tied for second most. I am looking for a solid outing from Charbonnet.

Wide Receiver
A bit of a flier play this week, especially those of us needing help in the flex spot, with the Niners down not only wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ruled out earlier this week), they will also be without tight end George Kittle, potentially opening the door for wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Even with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk lining up opposite, Jennings should see plenty of opportunities against a middling Rams secondary (allowing 11th most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers). Along with three touchdowns allowed to opposing wideouts (tied for 3rd most) the Rams are also allowing a league high 13.8 yards per reception. I like Jennings to post solid flex numbers today.

Players to watch:
WR - Rashid Shaheed (currently WR-10, fantasy pts) the kid has been explosive this season with touchdowns in each of his first two games this season. Not a big volume receiver, he has been highly efficient and locked in with his quarterback Derek Carr.
QB - Kyler Murray (QB4, fantasy points), Murray has been electric this season, throwing 4 touchdowns with zero picks and completing more than 70 passes per game. He’s also added 116 yards rushing, averaging more than 10 yards per run. It looks like Murray has found his mojo and is displaying MVP-style play in this early campaign.
That’s my take.
