5 breakout fantasy football stars to pick up for Week 3
By Jon Dove
2. Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions
Stats: six receptions, 89 yards and one touchdown
It appears that the Detroit Lions will be chasing points for much of the year. They have allowed nearly 80 points in two games. The more the Lions are chasing the more work Kenny Golladay will receive.
Golladay is off to a fast start and is providing the Lions with a strong No. 3 receiving option. His size is something that separates him from the other Lions wide receivers.
Both Golden Tate and Marvin Jones are on the smaller side doing a lot of their damage with speed and quickness. Golladay is capable of playing physical and working through contact. That size also comes in handy in the red zone.
It will be interesting to see how Golladay’s role develops over the course of the year. He has big time potential and could continue to take touches away from Tate and Jones.
The one thing to keep in mind is that the Lions have yet to establish a running game. This is a team that wants to be able to run the ball, but the flow of the game has kept them from featuring that part of the offense.
If the Lions start to figure things out on defense than the running game could pull some work away from Golladay and the rest of the receiving group.
