Fantasy Football Week 3: 3 Players Set to Have Huge Games for Their Owners

There are three players that standout in Week 3 as sure-fire bets to rack up big time points for their fantasy owners.

Cam Newton

After putting up huge numbers in Weeks 1 and 2, Cam Newton should continue this trend against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Yes, the Jaguars have looked good on defense this year, but with everything we have seen from Newton, coupled with the Jags starting their own rookie quarterback in Blaine Gabbert, the defense might have to carry the team, forcing them to wear down sooner than usual, which will open up opportunities for Newton.

Matthew Stafford

The Detroit Lions are facing off with their rivals, the Minnesota Vikings, in Week 3, and Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has an opportunity to stick it to them and have a monster game.

They've given up 280 yards passing on average this year, and Week 3 will be no different.

Expect Stafford to throw for over 300 yards and have two or three touchdowns, giving his fantasy owners a huge boost in Week 3.

Philip Rivers

The Kansas City Chiefs will struggle on all fronts in Week 3 against the San Diego Chargers, and Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers will seize the moment and put up his best numbers of the year.

The Chiefs have been blown out by a total of 88-10 in their first two games of the year. Rivers will have a field day, helping the Chargers hand the Chiefs their worst loss of the season.
