One potential breakout fantasy football player for all 16 games this week by Scott Davis on Sep 20, 2018, 12:42 PM Advertisement
 Fantasy football can be a brutal game, simply because of the sheer amount of luck that goes into it. Sometimes, a player slated for a big week has an unexpected off-game, or a backup nobody saw coming steals all of the touchdown love. Still, after some success with our picks last week, we're back trying to predict who might break out in Week 3 of the NFL. This week, our picks include some big-name players who we expect to bounce back after surprisingly quiet games in Week 2 and some backups who are slated to have productive games. Take a look below for who you should consider starting this week. *Note: Consensus rankings are the combined average of ESPN, Yahoo, and FantasyPro's player rankings 1. New York Jets at Cleveland Browns — Quincy Enunwa, WR, Jets  Week 2 stats: 11 targets, 7 catches, 92 yards, 0 TDs Consensus ranking: 29 among WRs Why he could break out: Enunwa leads the Jets in targets and catches by far, pulling in 13 catches off 21 targets so far. The Browns have ceded big games to Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster in Week 1 and Michael Thomas in Week 2. Enunwa isn't on the level of those receivers, but he could be set up for a big week against a team that defends the run well.
2. Buffalo Bills at Minnesota Vikings — Latavius Murray, RB, Vikings  Week 2 stats: 4 carries, 19 yards, 0 TDs Consensus ranking: 44 among RBs Why he could break out: Things might fall in place for Murray this week. First, Dalvin Cook left Week 2 with a hamstring injury, so the Vikings might be extra cautious with their top back if he plays at all. Second, the Bills have been outscored by a combined 55 points by the Ravens and Chargers so far. At home against an elite Vikings team, things might get out of hand. If the Vikings go up by multiple scores, the team might start handing the rock to Murray, and he might eventually find the end zone.
3. New York Giants at Houston Texans — Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Giants  Week 2 stats: 4 targets, 51 catches, 0 TDs Consensus ranking: 5 among WRs Why he could break out: Chances are, you're starting Odell Beckham Jr., regardless of matchup. But for fans who soured on him after a quiet outing against Dallas, we're betting he bounces back this week. The Texans haven't shut down passing games, getting outscored by Blaine Gabbert and the Titans in Week 2 and giving up 123 yards to Rob Gronkowski in Week 1. The Giants may make it a point to force-feed Beckham this weekend with the season more or less on the line.
