Fantasy Football Week 3: 5 Biggest Takeaways

1. Pryor Does it All

Sometimes fans and even NFL coaches can overcomplicate the game. Sometimes it’s as simple as getting the ball into the hands of your best playmakers and letting them eat. On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns made a point to get the ball into wide receiver Terrelle Pryor‘s hands by any means necessary and just let him do his thing.

Throwing the ball? Yeah. Running the ball? Sure. Catching the ball? Duh.

Pryor finished Sunday with 200 total yards on the dot. Heading into Monday Night Football, he’s the third-highest scoring receiver in fantasy for Week 3. He had five passing attempts, four rushing attempts, eight receptions, and his 14 targets were a team and game high. Is this something we can expect every week from the Browns? I hope so.

Pryor has struggled making an impact in the NFL after spending his entire college career as a  quarterback. Yet, he’s managed to stay in the league since entering in 2011 because he just has unworldly athletic ability.

Now he not only looks like a NFL caliber receiver but he looks like an impactful one too. The Browns should have won yesterdays game (tisk tisk Cody Parkey) and Pryor was a big reason for that. Pryor is a hell of a weapon for the Browns and they need to exhaust all options with him. The only thing he didn’t do yesterday was throw the ball to himself.

Maybe they’re saving that for next week.
