Week 3 Fantasy Football Rankings: 3 Disappointing Players Ready To Rebound

Mixed in with a bunch of huge fantasy performances in Week 2 were some big letdowns by usually reliable players. It is far too early in the season to panic about any of these guys, especially the next three—all of whom are ready for a big week.

Tennessee Titans' RB Chris Johnson

Chris Johnson has yet to gain 100 yards for the season. That is astonishing—even in light of the fact that his holdout robbed him of training camp.

This guy is far too talented and explosive for his numbers to keep toiling. Last week Johnson faced a very stiff Baltimore Ravens defense. This week he will be going against the uber-weak Denver Broncos defense.

The Titans passing game demonstrated in Week 2 that the Broncos will not be able to stack the box against Johnson, and he is going to make them pay.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers' WR Mike Williams

Mike Williams had one catch in Week 2 and it was for negative-four yards. That makes him one of a few players that would have been more valuable to his team had he not caught a pass.

That tiny production is not going to continue. Williams is still the Bucs' clear-cut No. 1 receiver. The Vikings' Cedric Griffin just did a nice job bottling him up. He still managed to catch a TD pass in that game, but it was called back.

Williams is Freeman's go-to guy, especially near the goal line.

Baltimore Ravens' RB Ray Rice

Ray Rice salvaged a horrible day by picking up a receiving touchdown in Week 2. Overall though, his rushing numbers were far below his standards.

Rice is always going to get his touches. They are going to come in the run game and pass game. Next week he will be facing a Rams defense that is ranked 32nd in rushing yards allowed. They are not likely to improve on that ranking here.

Rice is going to run early and often in this one; he should get plenty of chances to find the end zone.
