Week 3 Targets: Air It Out in Denver
No Garcon … no problem. Peyton Manning topped the RZ-deficient Broncos, and did so by calling Austin Collie’s number again … and again … and again.
I am glad to be able to say this, though. Brandon Marshall had a big game, and though he was on our list of players for whom to “temper your expectations,” he delivered in a big way during the highly-entertaining Jets-Dolphins Sunday nightcap. I’m glad in that Marshall was one of the speaking points on the FOX Fantasy Football show this morning with my co-hosts Peter Burns and Nate Lundy on FOX Sports Radio. The last two players that I put in this slot, called “Fool’s Gold” were injured — Marshall made it through unscathed & dominated.
Let’s roll out some target data to get you on your way to analyzing pickups for Week 3. I’ll roll up the final Week 3 run after Monday night’s Packers-Bears game and break out the trend data on Tuesday afternoon.
Included herein are all the receivers who compiled at least four targets during Sunday’s games.
