Brock Bowers just absolutely exploded in Week 3, and if you weren’t watching, you missed a tight end performance for the ages that immediately reshaped fantasy outlooks. This guy missed the first two games, right? But he came back and flat-out dominated, catching 10 of 13 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. Seriously, it was start-to-finish dominance, squashing any fears he’d be limited.
Bowers’ Record Pace Takes Off
This isn’t just a good game, folks. Some of us made a bold preseason prediction that Bowers would smash Michael Thomas’s 2019 single-season receptions record of 149. Now he’s right on track! Kirk Cousins, of all people, is playing lights out, throwing three touchdowns in each of the first three games. Bowers snagged that third score on Sunday, looking 100% healthy in a shockingly productive passing attack. Cousins led last year’s worst team to a 3-0 start, and Bowers has instantly become fantasy’s top tight end, maybe one of the best position-adjusted players out there. Talk about a massive shift!
Week 3’s Other Movers
Week 3 also saw Drake London save some fantasy seasons. After two straight single-digit games, managers were absolutely panicking, but Michael Penix Jr. stepping in at QB made all the difference. In his first start, Penix found London nine times on 10 targets for a ridiculous 194 receiving yards. That was a career high for the 25-year-old, coming on a day when Bijan Robinson also rushed for 194 yards. Penix is clearly way, way better for London’s value than Cooper Rush or Jake Strand. London’s back to fringe WR1 territory after that dominant TNF showing.
Then there’s Harold Fannin Jr. at tight end. After a “disappointing” 7.9 fantasy points in Week 2 (though he still had 5 catches for 54 yards on 6 targets), he cranked it up. Week 3, he grabbed seven balls for 51 yards on nine targets, but the real kicker? Two touchdowns! That 20.6 fantasy points was exactly what managers drafted him for. If you just ignore Week 1, his first with Deshaun Watson, he’s got 12 catches for 105 yards and two scores on 15 targets in the last two games. That’s the consistent production we’ve been looking for from a top tight end.
So yeah, Week 3 was wild for fantasy, shaping up some major trends across the league. And speaking of Week 3, our Seahawks had a tough one against the Commanders, huh? A 33-31 final score. Next week, our squad needs to regroup, tighten things up on defense, and Sam Darnold needs to keep pushing. Let’s get it done, 12s! Always looking forward to seeing our boys fight.
