NFL Week 3 Recap: Immediate fantasy football takeaways from Falcons-Packers
PFF • • general
Key Points:
- Atlanta Falcons' key players Bijan Robinson and Drake London each scored over 28 PPR points, limiting opportunities for tight end Kyle Pitts, who has had reduced involvement this season.
- The Green Bay Packers abandoned the run game, using a three-man backfield rotation with MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks, and Kaleb Johnson, none showing reliable fantasy value due to poor offensive line play and inconsistent usage.
- Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed suffered a neck injury, leading to increased playing time for Skyy Moore, Bo Melton, and J. Michael Sturdivant, though Moore is not expected to have significant fantasy value this season.
- Kyle Pitts, despite being a top tight end last year, has seen a significant drop in snap rate and target share under the Falcons' new coaching staff, making him a risky fantasy start until his role increases.
- Matthew Golden recorded his first 100-yard receiving game, while Packers tight end Tucker Kraft continues to see heavy playing time despite offseason concerns about a snap count.
