11 Overreactions to Week 3 Fantasy Football (+ Week 4 Waiver Wire Targets)

📋 Week 3 is in the books and it was a rough one. We're overreacting to the biggest results, holding an emergency press conference on four quarterback situations that fell apart, working through an injury report that reshapes multiple backfields, and getting you set for Week 4 waivers.

Kendall and Pete open with the Week 3 injury report which covers De'Von Achane's torn ACL and a season that's over, Baker Mayfield's thumb and a possible two-to-four week absence, Breece Hall's thigh with no update until Wednesday, Mike Evans' rib and oblique, and Jalen Coker's quad.

Week 3 winners and worries — Jahmyr Gibbs at 41.4 and the RB1 finish, Jaxon Smith-Njigba going for 35.36 as the WR1, Bijan Robinson, Brock Purdy and Drake London on one side, Bucky Irving, David Montgomery, Jaylen Waddle, Omarion Hampton, Dalton Kincaid and Tetairoa McMillan on the other. Then Imagine That, presented by Xfinity Shield, on Jaxon Smith-Njigba chasing the single-season record for receiving touchdowns, receptions and yards, and Derrick Henry chasing the rushing touchdown record.

The overreactions: putting the mortgage on Brock Purdy MVP tickets, Jeremiyah Love outscoring both Patriots running backs combined, Brock Bowers winning regular season and postseason fantasy championships, and Geno Smith as this year's Jacoby Brissett.

Then the emergency press conference on J.J. McCarthy's fit in the Giants scheme, how much worse Tommy DeVito could actually be than Drake Maye, whether Marcus Mariota is better for the Commanders than Jayden Daniels, whether the Chargers win a game before November, and the Titans looking for Cam Ward's replacement in 2027.

Then Week 4 waivers with Panthers and Chiefs on bye in Week 5: Sam Darnold, Marcus Mariota and Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, Ollie Gordon, Jaylen Wright, Braelon Allen, Keaton Mitchell and Kendre Miller at running back, Malik Washington, Xavier Legette and Jauan Jennings at receiver, and Kenyon Sadiq as the top tight end priority after a 7-catch, 105-yard, 23.5-point TE4 week.
