Week 3 of the NFL season has handed, and fantasy soccer managers are already transferring on to Week 4. With three video games within the books, there's a greater understanding of what sure groups are going to appear to be, and what gamers' utilization goes to be of their respective offenses.
On this week's installment of our fantasy soccer mailbag, which questions are consuming away at managers?
Be aware: Be happy to achieve out to me on >so I can reply your fantasy soccer questions in future articles.
All stats used on this article are from >or > until said in any other case. Fantasy rankings and fantasy level totals are courtesy of >.
What Ought to Managers Do with Justin Herbert, Omarion Hampton, Ladd McConkey, and Quentin Johnston?
Regardless of the hype surrounding the Los Angeles Chargers and > after including Mike McDaniel as their offensive coordinator, Herbert is the QB32 in fantasy factors per recreation (12.6) coming into Week 4. Amongst 33 QBs with 50-plus performs, Herbert is > (-0.08) and twenty ninth in success charge (40.7%).
Issues received't get a lot simpler for Herbert anytime quickly, because the Chargers face the Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, Kansas Metropolis Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Houston Texans, and Baltimore Ravens from Week 4 to Week 10. With that in thoughts, I'd bench Herbert in Week 4 and look to promote him as quickly as attainable.
> has the fewest EPA/rush (-0.32) among the many 12 RBs with 50-plus makes an attempt, and he was ceding extra snaps to Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal in Week 3. With Hampton seeing much less utilization within the passing recreation and the Chargers desperately in search of a spark, I'd additionally look to promote Hampton proper now.
Justin Herbert has dropped again 69 instances during the last two weeks. RB routes:
1. Keaton Mitchell 22
2. Kimani Vidal 18
3. Omarion Hampton 15Hampton has seen three targets on the season, a 3.4% share.

Of the Chargers' offensive contributors, Ladd McConkey is the one I'd be trying to maintain. McConkey has the Tenth-most yards per route run (2.54) amongst WRs with 15-plus targets in 2026, and he's at the moment the participant with essentially the most safe position on this offense.
n is on the alternative finish of the spectrum from McConkey, recording the sixth-fewest yards per route run (0.78) amongst WRs with 10-plus targets this season. Contemplating that Tre' Harris noticed an enormous bump in utilization in Week 3, I'd be content material dropping or promoting Johnston earlier than Week 4 begins.
Ought to Managers Look to Promote Drake Maye?
> has been even worse than Herbert to start the season, sitting at QB35 in fantasy factors per recreation (9.2) in his first three begins. This comes only one season after Maye was tied with Matthew Stafford and Patrick Mahomes because the QB2 in fantasy factors per recreation (21.1).
It's definitely been irritating for Maye managers up to now, however I wouldn't promote or drop him simply but. Maye has essentially the most interceptions thrown (6) and the fourth-highest pressure-to-sack charge (21.4%) amongst QBs with 50-plus dropbacks.

The New England Patriots benefited from a positive schedule a season in the past, they usually'll tackle the Buffalo Payments (twice), Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, Inexperienced Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, and Los Angeles Chargers between Week 4 and Week 13. Six of these eight groups are seventeenth or worse in dropback EPA allowed.
You probably have a greater choice than Maye, it might be smart to bench him in Week 4 and hope he exhibits indicators of turning a nook. Whereas I’d maintain Maye proper now, that might change if he continues to falter within the coming weeks.
Is it Price Including Ollie Gordon II or Jaylen Wright?
De'Von Achane sadly suffered a season-ending knee damage in Week 3, making > and > common waiver-wire choices. With fantasy soccer managers deciding between Gordon and Wright, is both of them value including?
The easy reply isn’t any.
Even with one of the environment friendly RBs within the NFL (Achane), the Miami Dolphins are twenty ninth in rush EPA (-0.29) and thirtieth in dashing success charge (30.0%).
Gordon is at the moment 58th in EPA/rush (-0.32) and sixty fourth in success charge (10.0%) amongst 64 RBs with 10-plus makes an attempt. Moreover, Gordon hasn't been a lot of an element within the passing recreation early in his profession.
For the reason that begin of 2025, Jaylen Wright leads Ollie Gordon in …
Rush yards over anticipated per try
Yards after contact per try
Missed tackles pressured per try

It was Gordon who changed Achane in Week 3, however Jaylen Wright was working because the backup to Achane earlier than lacking Week 3 due to a stinger. There's an opportunity he’s the first again for the Dolphins when he returns.
In all chance, Gordon and Wright are a part of a cut up backfield transferring ahead, and neither of them might be trusted in lineups every week.
Hopefully everybody's fantasy soccer squads take pleasure in loads of success in Week 4!
