Week 3 Fantasy Stat Breakdown: WRs Who Are Targeted by QBs

Now that we have a few weeks in the books, we can begin to assess which defenses are most user-friendly and which should be avoided when you’re deciding who to start and who to sit. When it comes to which defenses are the easiest to run on, the Texans, Bucs, Browns, Panthers, and Raiders are tops in the lead (in descending order). The five toughest run defenses are the Ravens, Titans, Dolphins, Niners and Saints.

When it comes to passing the ball, look forward to your quarterback and receivers going up against the Jaguars, Cardinals, Lions, Titans and Bills (who have recently lost three-fourths of their starting secondary). The five stingiest pass defenses have been the Giants, Broncos, Eagles, Vikings and Jets.

- Another one of those guys was Phillip Rivers. In the 2004 Draft, the Raiders passed on Rivers to take offensive lineman Robert Gallery with the #2 overall pick. Rivers was drafted #4. Ouch, Rivers turned out to be pretty good.

- By the way, the guys drafted #3 and #5 that year? WR Larry Fitzgerald and safety Sean Taylor. They turned out to be pretty good, too.
