Week three is always the most interesting week since we see far more of the first teams playing for every team. Let's take a gander at what meant the most for fantasy football:
Carnell Williams vs Dolphins - 8-54 rushing: It isn't so much that Williams rushed eight times, it was that he had the first eight rushes of the game and looked good when it was first team vs. first team. It only furthers the stated desire of the Buccaneers to have Williams, Derrick Ward and Ernest Graham all involved in every game. That, in case you were unclear, is how you swap one stud running back for three marginally mediocre fantasy options.
Matt Forte at Broncos - 4-11 receiving: Nothing major here but there is a natural interest in how much Jay Cutler will throw to Matt Forte since Cutler ranked 31st in the NFL last year throwing to running backs. Plus Kevin Jones is healthy this year but he had no catches. While it doesn't mean that Cutler will just replicate Kyle Orton's addiction to dumping off to Forte every week, it should make drafters feel better that Forte will remain a part of the passing game.
Greg Olsen at Broncos - 3-47 receiving : Have to love that Olsen enters his third season and gets a Pro Bowl quarterback who likes to throw to tight ends. Cutler and Olsen looked like they had been playing together for years in Denver and this has to be a sign that Olsen will take the next step up to being an elite tight end.
