Le'Veon Bell

Le'Veon Bell was picked first or second in nearly every Fantasy league, but after his holdout and three games into the season, he has scored a very un-sexy 28 Fantasy points.

With a big contract hanging in the balance, it's likely Bell will get going after being ridden so hard into the playoffs last season by the Steelers. Buy Bell low if you can, because the money figures to be a powerful motivator of big things coming in the next three months.

David Johnson

The best Fantasy player going down in Week 1 was one of the worst Fantasy injuries ever. Johnson's dislocated wrist pretty much ended Fantasy seasons for a team in every league.

Here's hoping Johnson comes back strong in November, and that some of those Fantasy owners are creative enough to stay competitive until he does.

LeSean McCoy

McCoy had an ADP of 6.67 coming off a spectacular 2016, but those of us who drafted him knew the risks attached for a heavily ridden 29-year-old running back.

He had a good Week 1 but hasn't scored yet and put up 9 and 13 Fantasy points the past two weeks. So far this season McCoy's biggest impact seems to be from stretching during the national anthem in Week 3. 

Dez Bryant

People are asking if Dez Bryant is still a top-tier wideout. Those questions have increased after Dez produced an average of 7.3 Fantasy points through three weeks.

Bryant has faced three particularly tough matchups, so he might be one of the best buy-low targets in this gallery. Or has he lost some of the explosiveness that made him so dangerous? Your call.

Ezekiel Elliott

The production hasn't been so bad against a tough early schedule, but the vibes don't feel good at all for Ezekiel Elliott's second NFL season.

His pending suspension is the reason he dropped to an ADP of 20, but so far he looks like a back who fits that more modest draft slot, averaging 3.5 yards per carry. He has scored 13, 1 and 15 Fantasy points with more attractive home games against the Rams and Packers next. We shall see.

Amari Cooper

Man, we make some bad presumptions. Amari Cooper was going to fully break out into the elite wideout tier while Michael Crabtree settled into possession receiver mode, right?

At 23, Cooper's ADP was 26 while Crabtree's was 51. So Cooper has scored 15 Fantasy points, including zero in Week 3. Crabtree scored 34 before also whiffing in Week 3. Problem is that so far the 30-year-old Crabtree has looked like the more explosive option. 

Lamar Miller

Lamar Miller didn't exactly hit the ground running in Houston last season, but Fantasy owners didn't give up on him and drafted him at an ADP of 34. Looks like a poor investment at the moment.

Miller has scored 9, 8 and 5 Fantasy points so far, and it's looking like he's heading for a time share with rookie D'Onta Foreman, and maybe even reverting into a third-down back role that the Dolphins thought was his best fit during his first four pro seasons.

DeAndre Hopkins

The Texans wideout came into this season with an ADP of 45 (in standard leagues) after a poor 2016. We're still hoping to see the brilliance of his 2014 and '15 seasons, but so far we're seeing 25 Fantasy points over three games.

Here's hoping rookie QB Deshaun Watson can get the best out of Hopkins as he settles in.

Isaiah Crowell

Lots of us bought it when the Browns were saying Isaiah Crowell was under-utilized last season and that 2017 would be much different. His ADP of 34 at least partially reflected that.

So far, Crowell has received 17, 10 and 12 carries for 33, 37 and 44 yards and 10, 3 and 7 Fantasy points. You might want to try to steal him in a buy-low trade now, but do you really want to buy into the Browns?

Terrelle Pryor

Seemingly every expert was on board with Terrelle Pryor as a wideout beast in his first season with the Redskins, and his ADP was 38 in standard. Through three games, Pryor has caught 10 of 19 targets for 116 yards and no touchdowns.

It's not like this is a kid trying to get up to NFL speed. The former quarterback is still learning as a pro wideout, but at 28 his prime is here.

Cam Newton

The warning signs were there, but Cam Newton was still drafted an average of 55th overall. The Panthers quarterback followed an 11-point Week 2 with a seven-point Week 3 against the Saints, usually a prime target for offenses.

Most of us can't let go of the memories of a dominant Cam, but he doesn't look much like that guy at the moment. Drop him and move on? Tough call.

Jamison Crowder

Lots of us had visions of Jamison Crowder racking up catch after catch as the Redskins' slot monster at a presumed bargain draft spot of 76 in standard. What happened?

The Skins offense hasn't been good, but Crowder has been worse. Nobody signed up for six Fantasy points in three games, even at 76th overall. 

Terrance West

Coming off a surprising season, Terrance West seemed like a Fantasy bargain at ADP 84 with a clear shot at a feature-back role. However, he was clearly outplayed by Javorius Allen in Week 2 and then Sunday in London was just one bad element in one of the Ravens' worst performances ever.

Eric Ebron

He has been a Fantasy tease going on four seasons now. Eric Ebron throws in an occasional strong game before disappearing again in a hail of drops and mediocrity. He scored exactly zero Fantasy points in Weeks 1 and 3, but tight end is so bad and banged up that we keep reaching and hoping for him.

Joe Mixon

We can't help ourselves -- we love rookies. Mixon came cheaper than fellow rookie runners Christian McCaffrey (21),  Leonard Fournette (30) and Dalvin Cook (32) at 48 ADP but still could prove to be the best of the lot. 

Week 3 saw Mixon get his first shot at a feature role with 18 carries and three targets that he turned it into a combined 101 yards. We're waiting for his first touchdown and for him to finally get some open field, while the Bengals are understandably more concerned with securing a first victory.

Mark Ingram

Mark Ingram had an ADP of 42 and seemed like a bargain. Then our Fantasy fears were realized. His time share with Adrian Peterson and exciting rookie Alvin Kamara has become a bad brew in the Big Easy and looks destined to stay that way until an injury or faded Peterson is let go.

Until then, we can hope Ingram's production at least continues a modest uptick trend of the 6, 7 and 8 Fantasy points he has scored so far.

Rob Kelley

Rob Kelley was no sure thing to start with, and an ADP of 83 reflected that. His three-point Week 1 was a bummer, but he was running great when he injured a rib in Week 2 and then missed Week 3.

Kelley could still deliver big returns for the modest investment to get him. But he better do it quick before third-down breakout Chris Thompson and rookie Samaje Perine marginalize him.

Cooper Kupp

This one isn't on you, Cooper Kupp. It's on us.

Every year the hype gets out of control for a rookie receiver, and it usually ends badly. So far, this one is trending that way. 

Kupp started with four catches for 76 yards and a score in Week 1 but had only five catches on eight targets for 50 yards in Weeks 2 and 3. Not bad, but we were dreaming of a slot god with a direct line to QB Jared Goff. Now Kupp looks to be fourth in line for targets with the Rams. 

Jordan Reed

The Redskins tight end came with all sorts of warning labels attached but was still drafted in Round 4 or 5 in most leagues. Jordan Reed continues to be dogged by injuries and -- like position-mate Tyler Eifert -- continues to clog up Fantasy rosters on the sidelines.

Past greatness makes moving on a tough decision.

Alshon Jeffery

Alshon Jeffery's ADP was 48 in standard leagues based on his past work (when healthy) and a fresh start in Philly. His Week 2 15-point performance has been sandwiched by two five-point outings.

Fantasy owners are needing much more.

Paul Perkins

It's not like we paid premium prices for Giants running back Paul Perkins with an ADP of 86. But Fantasy is about hope, and we hoped the second-year guy could run away with a wide-open feature back role.

The Giants offense has been mostly a disaster to start the season. Ditto Perkins, who has scored five Fantasy points and now just looks like another guy in the Giants' mediocre backfield mix.

Tyler Eifert

Tyler Eifert is only 27, but sometimes it seems his body is much older. Like fellow tight end Jordan Reed, Eifert's many injuries have kept him stuck on Fantasy benches, clogging up roster spots.

And again like Reed, Eifert has shown an amazing big-play feel for a position that has far too few standout options. Come back, Tyler, and bring Jordan with you.

Thomas Rawls

Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls was a sleeper hope being drafted in Round 8 or 9. Unfortunately for Rawls, injuries have come to define his career. So far this season he has only managed four carries for 5 yards as the Seattle buzz has moved to rookie Chris Carson.

Here's hoping Rawls' luck improves, but running backs rarely get healthier in the NFL.

Martavis Bryant

We were hoping that the Steelers receiver was going to explode back onto the scene after a season lost to suspension. So far, however, Bryant has had an exciting 15-point Week 2 at home sandwiched by scoring 1 and 3 Fantasy points in two road games. That includes a dreadful drop that cost the Steelers in a loss in Chicago on Sunday. 

Ameer Abdullah

Lions running back Ameer Abdullah was a trendy breakout pick in his third NFL season with an ADP of 64. Not seeing it yet. So far he has scored 4, 8 and 7 Fantasy points.

Davante Adams

Regression mavens warned us to be skeptical of Davante Adams, who produced an amazing 12 touchdowns in his 75 catches last season. So maybe they were right.

Adams, who came with a 41 ADP in standard, has one touchdown and 14 catches for 206 yards in three games. We were warned.

Bilal Powell

When he finally got his chance, Bilal Powell was one of the best players in Fantasy for a four-game stretch last December. So with those thoughts in our heads, Fantasy players hoped they had a steal when they drafted Powell with an ADP of 61.

But, hey, these are the Jets. Powell started this season again caddying for a well-worn Matt Forte and has yet to produce double-digit Fantasy points, including a one-point clunker Week 2 at Oakland. Was last December just a quick flash of glory for a 28-year-old career backup? His investors really hope not.

Kelvin Benjamin

Some of us bought into Kelvin Benjamin (51 ADP) returning to his 2014 form. So far that has been a bad idea with 2, 13 and 2 Fantasy points before a scary looking but apparently not serious knee injury Sunday.

If you still believe, buy him low and hope he and Cam Newton can rediscover past glory.

Willie Snead

Willie Snead's case is one of the worst this season in Fantasy. A favorite breakout of the cognoscenti, Snead instead was suspended by the league for three games on Sept. 1. If you had already drafted, you were kind of stuck because he became a tough roster call.

Snead has great upside in a prolific Saints offense, but he might be forced to battle his way back into the prime-target rotation for Drew Brees. His Fantasy fans are waiting and hoping.

Corey Davis

Some Fantasy experts dutifully warn us about the risks of counting on rookie receivers, but at ADP 129 it was hard to resist Corey Davis. So far the skeptics have been right.

In a Titans offense with lots of target options for Marcus Mariota, Davis must get back into the rotation after injuring a hamstring in Week 2. Still buying? Sure.
