Patrick Mahomes tosses three first-half touchdowns as the Chiefs improve to 3-0.

Mahomes missed some throws and didn’t lead the Chiefs to any touchdowns in the second half, but overall he had another great outing while spreading the ball to his plethora of weapons. The second-year quarterback was 24/38 for 314 yards and three touchdowns. One score was to Chris Conley on an amazing scramble and flick-of-the-wrist throw while rolling right; the other was to a wide-open Demetrius Harris in middle of the end zone; and the final score was on a quick pass to Sammy Watkins, who broke a couple of tackles on his way to the end zone. Mahomes now has 13 touchdown passes through three games, which is an NFL record. He should obviously remain locked into fantasy lineups for a Monday night matchup against the Broncos in Week 4.

Javorius Allen scores twice against the Broncos.

Allen was again a very good red-zone option for Baltimore, getting the ball into the end zone twice in the Week 3 win. Allen had six carries for seven yards and a touchdown along with three receptions for 19 yards and a touchdown. Obviously, the touchdowns made it a productive fantasy day for Allen, but the coaches trust him deep in the red zone. Allen is in the FLEX conversation for Week 4 against Pittsburgh.

Jared Goff goes over 350 yards in Rams’ win.

Goff and the Rams dominated the Cardinals, basically doing whatever they wanted through the air, and punching it in on the ground when they got near the goal line. Goff was 24/32 for 354 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Week 2 victory. He again got the ball out accurately to his open receivers, and he looks very poise in the pocket. Goff faces the Chargers in Week 3.

Benjamin Watson has a productive day in win over the Falcons.

Watson caught five passes for 71 yards, including a diving grab in the red zone that set up a touchdown in the second half. The 37-year-old gets a tougher matchup against the Giants next Sunday, but he’s worth a look as a streaming option in Sean Payton’s offense.

Garrett Celek catches one pass in Week 3.

Celek gained seven yards on his lone reception. George Kittle is the tight end to own for the Niners, as Celek is more of a real-life asset than a fantasy contributor at the moment.

Alex Collins scores in Ravens’ win.

Collins scored on Baltimore’s opening drive on offense against Denver, punching it in on a six-yard run from a shotgun formation. Overall, Collins carried 18 times for 68 yards and the touchdown, and he also added three receptions for six yards. Meanwhile, Javorius Allen scored twice (both times in the red zone) and appeared to split snaps pretty evenly with Collins. However, Collins received 18 carries compared to Allen’s six. Still, the upside for Collins looks to be limited through a few games; but he’s a starting option in Week 4 against the Steelers.

Jimmy Garoppolo has a modest game in win over the Lions.

Garoppolo went 18/26 for 206 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions as the Niners topped the Lions, 30-27. In the first half, Jimmy G connected with Kendrick Bourne from four yards away, and then hit Garrett Celek for an 11-yard score in the third quarter. Garoppolo hasn’t put up big-time numbers in either of his first two games, but that has a very good chance of being corrected in Week 3 against the Chiefs. He should be in lineups as a QB1 for a potential shootout with Patrick Mahomes.
