Fantasy Football Week 3: Some Players Rise, Others Go Quiet
Listen to the story
Fantasy football is a popular game in the United States. People pick real players for their own team. They get points based on how well those players do in real games.
In Week 3, some players did very well. Gibbs and JSN were two big winners. They scored a lot of points for their fantasy teams.
Other players did not do well. St. Brown and Taylor had quiet weeks. They did not score many points this time.
Fans now look ahead to Week 4. Many people talk about the waiver wire. This is how teams can add new players.
Two players in the debate are Braelon Allen and Ollie Gordon II. Fans must choose who is better to add to their team.
A group called The Fantasy Footballers also shared their picks. They named the best starts of Week 3. A 'start' means a player you choose to play that week.
