FANTASY FOOTBALL SURPRISES AND DISAPPOINTMENTS – WEEK 3
BY: JOHN FALABELLA
SURPRISES
Kendrick Bourne – He is proving he was worth the contract that he was given by the Patriots as he toed the line for a touchdown this past Sunday.
Zach Ertz – His football career in Philly a few weeks ago appeared to be dead but he rose from the ashes to post 4 catches for 53 yards and a touchdown. Perhaps the Eagles will continue to use him. He still appears to be very capable.
Davante Adams – Performed as he did in 2020… 12 catches for 132 yards on 18 targets and a TD. Adams and Rodgers were back in form this past Sunday.
Alexander Mattison – Mattison put up 112 rushing yards on 26 attempts and 59 yards on 6 catches in place of Dalvin Cook in week 3. If I am him, I am wondering why I don’t play more… especially in this 17 week format.
DISAPPOINTMENTS
Patrick Mahomes – Mahomes and the Chiefs may be going through a Super Bowl hangover, he threw 2 interceptions last week and has three in three games. He only threw 7 all of last season.
Alvin Kamara – 108 total yards is great… 27 touches is also great but I would normally expect more than 4 yards per touch from Kamara.
Calvin Ridley – Is averaging about 10 targets per game but only 58 yards… and Atlanta hired an offensive coordinator as head coach. It is a bad scheme or do they miss Julio Jones?
Trevor Lawrence – Wake me up when he starts to look like a starting NFL Quarterback. I thought the number one overall pick would display a stronger arm than he has thus far.
