Fantasy Football managers will have to make some very difficult decisions following Week 3. If you've fallen to 0-3 or 1-2, it might be time to make a major trade to shake up your roster. However, not every player is worth panicking over.
Some players are not worth selling because they have an opportunity to bounce back and you're going to want to be there for it. Do you sell low when your player puts up consecutive duds in the scoring column? Is it even selling low if that player's outlook has changed so much that the forward-looking expectation should be adjusted?
These are the burning questions Fantasy managers are asking themselves as they get ready to turn the page on Week 3 while looking ahead to Week 4 and the rest of their Fantasy football seasons. Let's take a look at several players who are on our radar by first taking a look at the panic meter, a few players that stood out in Week 3 and some early Week 4 waiver wire additions. The biggest concern we had with Brian Thomas Jr. heading into the 2026 season was his early-season schedule.
As an outside wide receiver, Thomas was due to face the toughest slate of outside cornerbacks for nearly the first half of the 2026 season. However, the Jaguars have mixed him in the slot and in Week 2 it looked like he was starting to earn a real role -- he had a nearly 25% target share and was No. 2 behind Parker Washington. However, Thomas has consistently come off the field in two-wide receiver personnel groupings.
In Week 3, Thomas bottomed out with just one target (one reception for eight yards). Jakobi Meyers finished with a touchdown and eight targets. We've officially reached panic mode with Thomas.
You likely won't get much back in a trade and if you need the roster space we wouldn't blame you for dropping him. Herbert made our panic meter last week and things didn't get much better in Week 3. The issue right now is a stale offensive scheme that seemingly doesn't fit Herbert's skill set.
