Analysis

Let's take a look at some buy-low candidates at the quarter mark of the 2023 NFL season.

One of the most obvious is Ja'Marr Chase, though savvy fantasy players probably won't bite. Chase still hasn't found the end zone and has yet to offer the overall output expected for the top-five pick he was in many fantasy drafts, but in the past two weeks he's pulled in 19 catches for 214 yards on 24 targets.

Oh, and Joe Burrow has indicated his calf is feeling better as the weeks go by, though he's still clearly nowhere near 100 percent. Chase may not enter the stratosphere of Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, Davante Adams or Keenan Allen if Burrow's health issues persist, but he still has started to round out into low-end WR1 form.

If you can get him for cheaper prices than that, pounce on the opportunity.

Then there's the tight end trio of George Kittle, Kyle Pitts and Dallas Goedert.

Kittle's slow start has largely come down to the ridiculous number of weapons in San Francisco. He's probably fourth on the pecking order behind Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, and that is going to keep him from being an elite option at the position.

Still, given the team's dangerous offense and his own pedigree, he's worth taking a flier on if you need help at the position. You may want another option to play the matchups, but you can probably get Kittle on the cheap.

Pitts may not be fully healthy after his season-ending knee surgery a year ago, and he certainly hasn't gotten very good quarterback play.

But as the season progresses, he's still a threat to be a really nice option at a position without much depth, especially if he gets healthier (and if Desmond Ridder shows any signs of improvement). That makes him worth a consideration, albeit at bargain-bin prices.

Goedert is perhaps the most mysterious of the three struggling tight ends. Yes, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are the priorities in Philadelphia's passing attack, but they were last year too and Goedert still caught 55 passes for 702 yards and three scores despite missing five games to injury.

"There's been some opportunity," offensive coordinator Brian Johnson told reporters regarding Goedert's slow start. "It's been pretty strange because he's had some opportunities where the ball could have or should have went his way, and for whatever reason, there might have been a breakdown in the play or a flushing of the pocket or something like that. Dallas is a fantastic player. We do have to do everything we can to try to get him involved early and often."

Of the three players listed above, Goedert might be the one most primed for some breakout weeks. Get ahead of that curve.

Finally, what to make of Jaylen Waddle? He hasn't been targeted more than six times thus far and missed a game to injury. Tyreek Hill remains one of the game's most dangerous playmakers, Tua Tagovailoa is spreading the ball around in the passing game and the running back duo of Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane has been gashing opponents, so game flow hasn't seemed to find Waddle as much as last season.

But he's proven to be a target and receptions machine, and the ball is going to find him. He's too explosive for the Dolphins to ignore, so you shouldn't ignore him either if you can get him for a steal.
