Tight End: Hayden Hurst – Atlanta Falcons (DraftKings price $4,700)

The Falcons may have collapsed in Week 2 but their offense continues to impress and Hurst was a standout in their remarkable 40-39 defeat to the Cowboys. The former Baltimore Raven caught five of his eight targets for 72 yards and a touchdown, yet his price point has only risen by $100 for their Week 3 tilt with the Chicago Bears.

Though Chicago is 2-0, the Bears rank 29th in fantasy points conceded to opposing tight ends. Atlanta will have to lean on its offense to stay competitive this season and, with Julio Jones a game-time decision because of a hamstring injury, Hurst should have a significant opportunity to cement himself as a key contributor for the Falcons.

Flex: Jerry Jeudy – Denver Broncos (DraftKings price $5,000)

There is not much optimism around Denver after two close losses and injuries to quarterback Drew Lock and top receiver Courtland Sutton, who will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL.

However, rookie first-round pick Jerry Jeudy has been a bright spot who has generated consistent separation in the early stages of his pro career. He has 15 targets in two games and Sutton’s injury means he should receive an even larger share going forward. With the Broncos likely to be playing from behind against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jeudy can expect to be the favorite target of Jeff Driskel. A breakout game could be on the cards.
