The passing game got off to a slow start this season (much to the disappointment of fantasy football managers and wide receivers), but things started to look up starting in Week 3. There was a lot of value to be had that week in particular, and the three wide receivers with 10+ receptions in Week 3 were Jauan Jennings (acquired on the waiver wire), Stefon Diggs (fifth-round pick) and Rushes Rice (seventh-round pick), who were PPR gold mines.

Rice, in particular, looks set to be the top receiving option for the remainder of the season, leading the team in route-running target percentage (33%) by a significant margin over Xavier Worthy and tight end Travis Kelce (both on 14.3% through three games this season). Rice went 12-110-1 with 29 fantasy points, a top-three performance in full PPR scoring leagues.
