Teddy Bridgewater Should Be Left On The Bench In Week 3

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is best left on the bench for Week 3's tough road bout against the Chargers. The QB has opened up the season with a decent 636 passing yards, but only has one touchdown and two picks. Even though the Chargers have been a favorable matchup for opposing QBs, Bridgewater has not proved he is a weekly starter and doesn't offer much upside in terms of touchdowns and rushing.

Preston Williams Hopeful For Bounce Back Game

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has been held to just three receptions through the first two weeks of the regular season. He was only able to haul in one of his five targets versus the Buffalo Bills last week. However, he'll get a more favorable matchup versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. Williams hasn't shown much promise this season, but fantasy owners should be able to trust him as a WR3 here. Another bust week might turn him into a possible cut-candidate in some formats.

DeVante Parker Healthy Heading Into Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report heading into Week 3 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was limited during Monday and Tuesday's practices, but was upgraded to full on Wednesday. Parker is coming off a Week 2 performance where he hauled in five receptions for 53 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. He'll get a matchup against the Jaguars Defense that allowed four passing touchdowns last week. Parker should have high-end WR3 upside for this matchup.
