Tyler Lockett catches long touchdown in Week 3.

Lockett caught a 52-yard touchdown late in the first half for the Seahawks, as Russell Wilson hit him in stride down the right sideline for six. Overall, Lockett had four receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown along with one carry for five yards. Lockett has at least 59 yards and a score in each of his first three games this season, and he is a FLEX option for Week 4 against the Cardinals.

Theo Riddick catches all three targets in Week 3.

Riddick gained 36 yards on his three receptions against New England, but he didn’t receive a carry as Kerryon Johnson and LeGarrette Blount received 16 carries each. With 17 receptions through three games, Riddick is a PPR FLEX option.

Seahawks feed Chris Carson 34 touches in Week 3 win.

It took long enough for the Seahawks to commit to handing Carson the rock as a workhorse runner. Carson had 32 carries for 102 yards and a touchdown along with two receptions (on two targets) for 22 yards). The second-year back didn’t put up huge per-carry numbers in the game, but the Cowboys have a strong run defense and Carson played better than the numbers indicate. Carson is simply a beast of a runner that is an obvious starting option in all fantasy lineups if the Seahawks are going to hand him the ball 20+ times per game. Rashaad Penny just had three carries and no receptions in the win. Hopefully the Seahawks don’t mess with things in Week 4 against the Cardinals.

Golden Tate caught six passes for 69 yards in Sunday’s win over New England.

Tate was able to do damage on short and intermediate routes against New England’s No. 3 and No. 4 cornerbacks with Stephon Gilmore on Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay, and Eric Rowe (groin) inactive, but Detroit mostly relied on the running game in a surprising victory. The Cowboys will likely have a difficult time containing Tate next week, so he’s a solid FLEX in standard leagues with a boost in PPR formats.

Virgil Green caught one pass in Sunday’s loss to the Rams.

It went for six yards. Green isn’t a fantasy option behind Antonio Gates, especially next week against the 49ers.

LeGarrette Blount gets 18 touches against the Patriots.

Blount carried 16 times for 48 yards and added two receptions for 17 yards in a win against his former teams, but it was Kerryon Johnson that really flashed, breaking Detroit’s 100-yard rusher drought that had gone on since Thanksgiving 2013. Blount helps take pressure off the rookie Johnson, though, and each of them received 16 carries in the win. But Johnson might soon become the clear leader in the backfield, so Blount is a risky fantasy option for Week 4 against the Cowboys.

Russell Wilson throws two touchdowns in Seahawks’ first win of the season.

Facing an 0-3 start, both the offense and defense stepped up for Seattle in a home matchup against the Cowboys. Russell Wilson was sharp throughout the afternoon, going 16/26 for 192 yards and two touchdowns. The first score was a strike to Tyler Lockett down the right sideline for 52 yards, and the second was a seam pass to Jaron Brown for 16 yards. Wilson also notably had an absolute dime to Brandon Marshall for 27 yards for what might have been the best throw of the week. Wilson might be able to pick apart Arizona’s defense in Week 4, but there’s a chance it’s a defensive battle.
