Ted Hurst vs. Vikings — Emerging Perimeter Role Offers Deep-League Intrigue

The rookie has quickly carved out starting perimeter duties in Tampa Bay's offense alongside Emeka Egbuka. Hurst has earned 10 targets across his first two NFL contests, recording five catches for 63 yards. While offensive coordinator Zac Robinson continues to praise his rapid development, Hurst is coming off a choppy outing where he secured just two of seven looks.

Rostered in just 2% of leagues, Hurst is projected for 4.9 fantasy points on roughly two catches and 24 yards against an undefeated Minnesota squad. His steady target volume makes him an intriguing stash in deep leagues, but fantasy managers should leave him on the bench in standard leagues until his efficiency and weekly scoring floor stabilize.

Brian Thomas vs. Patriots — Poised for Target Growth at Home

Brian Thomas enters Week 3 with a clean bill of health after working through an early-season shoulder issue. Operating as Jacksonville's primary outside receiver alongside Jakobi Meyers, Thomas has recorded six receptions for 80 yards on 11 targets through his first two games with Trevor Lawrence.

Fantasy managers have grown cautious, with his start rate dropping to 11% despite being rostered in 90% of leagues after back-to-back 40-yard outings. However, our weekly projection expects a stable baseline of roughly 3 receptions for 43 yards (around 9.0 fantasy points), positioning him as an upside WR3 or flex option at home against New England.
