He didn&#8217;t do the same 180 that Tannehill did but the matchup was much tougher. Pickett finished with 222 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Ultimately though, this one is purely about the great matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/raiders\/\" target=\"_self\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>. The Raiders defense is not good and the setup looks pretty solid. Right now, this game has a 44-point combined total with a close spread as the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/steelers\/\" target=\"_self\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> are favored by one point and have a 22.5-point implied team total. This one is also being played in a dome, which is another nice boost for passing offenses. On top of it all, Pickett can chip in some fantasy points with his legs too. Add it all up and Pickett looks like one of the better Week 3 streamers if you\u2019re in a pinch at quarterback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Matthew Stafford<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>LAR<\/b> <b>&#8211; 35%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) <\/span><b>@ CIN<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Desmond Ridder<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>ATL<\/b> <b>&#8211; 5%) @ DET<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Running Back \u2013 Zack Moss (CHI &#8211; 50%) @ BAL<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all the offseason drama regarding Jonathan Taylor, fantasy managers were left wondering who was going to take the job and run with it in Taylor\u2019s absence. I think after Week 2 we have a definitive answer. Zack Moss missed Week 1 because of a broken hand but that didn\u2019t stop the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/colts\/\" target=\"_self\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a> from feeding him in Week 2. He was about as much of a workhorse as it gets handling all but a single snap. Evan Hull was placed on IR after the opening week and Deon Jackson was all but phased out after a dreadful performance last week. Moss took advantage with 18 carries for 88 yards and a score while also catching all four of his targets for an additional 19 yards. Sure the matchup against the Houston Texans was about as good as it gets and the matchup this week against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/ravens\/\" target=\"_self\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a> will be tougher, but that usage is too good to ignore. It\u2019s hard to find \u201cworkhorse\u201d running backs with this level of usage and that makes him one of the best Week 3 streamers out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Zack Moss played 55 of 56 snaps per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NextGenStats?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NextGenStats<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 18 carries, 4 targets<br \/>&#8211; 107 yards, TD<br \/>&#8211; 20.7 fantasy points<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Michael F.

Ultimately, I don\u2019t think it should even if he has a bad game. Heading into the season, Shaheed was a sleeper going a bit under the radar, probably more than he should have been. He was coming off a rookie season with extremely promising underlying metrics. Shaheed\u2019s YPRR (2.59) trailed only Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz, and Justin Jefferson regarding rookie-year YPRR since 2008. It was more of the same in Week 1. Shaheed caught five of his six targets for 89 yards and a touchdown and chipped in 11 yards on two carries. His YPRR (3.56) was once again ELITE trailing only Tyreek Hill and Brandon Aiyuk in the opening week. It seems pretty clear at this point that he\u2019s an explosive and efficient playmaker and one that the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/saints\/\" target=\"_self\">New Orleans Saints<\/a> are making an effort to get the ball in his hands. This is the last call for Shaheed but for now makes for one of the best Week 3 streamers.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Top Rookie WR Seasons by YPRR [Since 2008]<\/p>\n<p>1 Odell Beckham Jr, 2014 (2.75)<br \/>2 Victor Cruz, 2011 (2.69)<br \/>3 Justin Jefferson, 2020 (2.66)<br \/>4 RASHID SHAHEED*, 2022 (2.59)<br \/>..<br \/>6 Ja&#39;Marr Chase, 2021 (2.44)<br \/>7 CHRIS OLAVE**, 2022 (2.42)<br \/>8 AJ Brown, 2019 (2.42)<\/p>\n<p>*WR72 by ADP<br \/>**WR14 by ADP<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ryan Heath (@RyanJ_Heath) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RyanJ_Heath\/status\/1633995330248142850?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 10, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Josh Reynolds<\/b> <b>(DET &#8211; 12%) v<\/b> <b>ATL,<\/b> <b>Tank Dell (HOU &#8211; 5%) @ JAX<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tight End \u2013 Jake Ferguson (DAL &#8211; 38%) @ ARI<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jake Ferguson came into the 2023 season with a little bit of sleeper appeal but mostly in deeper leagues. After all, he was stepping into a position in which Dak Prescott made Dalton Schultz fantasy relevant and Ferguson is arguably a more athletic tight end. After Week 1, the surface stats didn\u2019t look very good while the underlying metrics were possibly better than any other tight end in the NFL. Fast forward to Week 2, the underlying metrics fell back a little but the surface stats were better. He caught three of his four targets for 11 yards and a touchdown. It would be nice to see his route participation increase a bit as he\u2019s been below 60% each week, but the TPRR (32%) and target share (18%) are both very promising. This week he gets a beautiful matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\/\" target=\"_self\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a> who are not a good defense whatsoever. That combined with the underlying metrics are what makes him a great Week 3 streamers candidate and if he can get a higher route participation, look out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Zach Ertz<\/b> <b>(ARI &#8211; 10%) v DAL,<\/b> <b>Hayden Hurst (CAR &#8211; 35%) @ SEA<\/b><\/p>\n<p><em>Universal Responsible Gambling Disclaimer:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ages 21+.
