Fantasy Football Winners:

1. Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons: London's production skyrocketed after Penix returned to the starting lineup, making him a clear winner in the passing game.

2. Jaylen Warren, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers: Warren dominated when he got the opportunity to carry the ball, amassing 127 yards and 3 catches with just two other rushing attempts allowed.

3. Rashee Rice, WR, Kansas City Chiefs: Rice's performance improved significantly after his Week 1 struggles, catching 7 passes for 88 yards on 9 targets against the Chiefs.

5. Sam Darnold, QB, Seattle Seahawks: Darnold returned from injury and showcased his talent, throwing for 379 yards and 4 touchdowns, even against a tough Washington Commanders defense.

Fantasy Football Losers:

1. Drake Maye, QB, New England Patriots: Maye's inconsistent play, marked by multiple interceptions and a -0.44 EPA/play rating, led to a noticeable decline in the Patriots' offense.

2. C.J. Stroud, QB, Houston Texans: Stroud struggled in Week 3, throwing for only 167 yards and one touchdown, while facing a defense that allowed 12.2 and 7.9 yards per pass in the first two weeks.

3. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Carolina Panthers: Despite favorable circumstances, McMillan failed to capitalize on the opportunity, only managing two catches for 17 yards on 5 targets.

4. Geno Smith, QB, New York Jets: Smith's fantasy performance suffered due to the injuries of Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, his two best offensive options.

5. Omarion Hampton, RB, Los Angeles Chargers: Hampton faced a tough offensive situation, losing touches to both Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal, leading to a disappointing performance.
