Week 3 K Sleepers
Trey Smack
Smack is a strong Week 3 sleeper against the Falcons. Green Bay is favored and projected to score plenty of points, giving Smack a solid chance at multiple extra points and field goals. He’s ranked as high as No. 2 in the current Week 3 kicker rankings.
Week 3 K Busts
Cameron Dicker
I’d consider sitting Dicker this week. He has scored just four fantasy points through two games, and now faces Buffalo on the road. FantasyPros also recommends moving away from Dicker after his slow start and the Chargers’ offensive struggles.
