6 Players Whose Stocks Are Moving in Week 3 (+Buy Low/Sell High Candidates)

Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through the fantasy football players whose stock actually moved after Week 2 — and more importantly, the specific utilization behind each move.

Parker Washington climbs again, this time to a low-end WR1. Jalen Coker rises into mid-range WR3 territory. Dalton Kincaid moves all the way into the top five at tight end. Going the other way: Rashee Rice slides to a low-end WR2, and the Bears pair of Colston Loveland and Luther Burden both drop, Loveland to a low-end TE1 and Burden to a high-end WR4.

Then the part your league isn't thinking about yet. Bucky Irving has the sixth-highest running back utilization score in football at 90 — is that a buy even at a high price? George Pickens is averaging just 7.9 points per game on an 85% route share and a 23% target share, which is the exact profile of a player about to be cheap. Tucker Kraft's route participation jumped from 48% in Week 1 to 91% in Week 2 while his production fell. And Stefon Diggs is scoring 18.6 per game on a 59% route share — the definition of a sell.

They also play Dwain-Libs on the thresholds that would move players again this week: what route share puts Oronde Gadsden in the TE8-to-TE10 range, what gets Brian Thomas Jr. into WR3 territory, and what designed rush rate makes Tyler Shough a QB10-to-QB12 option. Those are the exact numbers to watch on Sunday.

And they close with three adds to make before your league-mates get there — Dwain on Kenyon Sadiq, Pete on Oronde Gadsden, Kendall on Demond Claiborne.
