Week 3 Fantasy Football RB Picks

Syndication: Detroit Free Press - Source: Imagn

Jahmyr Gibbs vs. BAL

The Detroit Lions offense is rolling once again this season. The passing and running games are both well-oiled, and Jahmyr Gibbs has been a reliable feature in the system.

Ranked at No. 5 in this week's rankings, Gibbs has a favorable matchup in Week 3. The Baltimore Ravens rank 28th against opposing running backs in fantasy football, which should make for a big day for Gibbs.

Jonathan Taylor vs. TEN

The Indianapolis Colts are doing surprisingly well to start the season. In a division that seems to be stronger than in former years, the Colts look to keep up.

Running back Jonathan Taylor could have a strong outing in Week 3 against a Tennessee Titans team that ranks 22nd versus opposing running backs.

Bucky Irving vs. NYJ

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking decent heading into the third week of the season, with Bucky Irving's No. 7 RB rank being among the many things falling Tampa's way.

They take on an 0-2 New York Jets squad that ranks 24th against running backs this week. Look out for Irving to put up solid numbers in Week 3.
