The 2026 Week 3 fantasy preview ranks Josh Allen QB1 and Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR1, while labeling Chargers RB Omarion Hampton and Jets WR Jameson Williams as duds; it also flags Seahawks TE A.J. Barner and QB Baker Mayfield as potential upside picks.
The preview attributes Hampton’s dud label mainly to Buffalo’s run defense, which it says is allowing 95 rushing yards per game; it held David Montgomery to 60 yards on 20 carries and Jahmyr Gibbs to 52 on 16 in the first two weeks. For Williams, it cites a 16.9% target share, a 23.1% drop rate and the Jets’ strong early defensive numbers.
Mayfield is the article’s upside pick against Minnesota, whose blitz rate it cites at a league-high 79.3%. He has been sacked seven times and given the ball away five times in two games, but the preview says he is 11-for-12 against blitzes this season, with one touchdown and a 125.0 passer rating.
