7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 3

Every week in this piece, you'll find a quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, a tight end, and a flex. The team wasn't shy about getting the ball in Burkhead's hands when he was on the field, feeding him 5 carries for 21 rushing yards and 2 receptions on a pair of targets for 47 receiving yards. They've yielded 14 receptions for 115 receiving yards on 16 targets to running backs this year, per Pro-Football-Reference, and they've also surrendered 160 rushing yards on 36 carries (4.44 yards per carry). Last week, the 49ers attempted three runs and one pass from within the Cincinnati Bengals' five-yard line. In all, Wilson rumbled for 34 rushing yards and a pair of scores on 10 carries in last week's blowout win in Cincinnati. It's probably best to view Wilson as a touchdown-or-bust streamer, and his chances of scoring are decent with the 49ers tied for the ninth-highest implied total at 25.0 points. Goodwin parlayed those targets into 29 receptions for 384 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown, and 0.44 Target Net Expected Points (NEP) per target. Notably, Josh Gordon hauled in a 44-yard reception on a long pass, D.K. Metcalf secured one of three long passes for a 28-yard touchdown, and Phillip Dorsett embarrassed them for a pair of touchdown receptions on 2 long passes for a combined 83 receiving yards. The 27-year-old receiver will have an opportunity to build on his 3 receptions on 3 targets for 74 receiving yards and a touchdown from last week in a Charmin-soft matchup this week. They struggled mightily defending the position in 2018, too, coughing up the fifth-most receptions (87), third-most receiving yards (1,067), and second-most receiving touchdowns (10). Case in point, Damiere Byrd has been targeted exactly seven times in each of the first two games, and he's turned his 14 targets into 10 receptions for 87 receiving yards.
