There were some fairly big fantasy football performances by wide receivers in Week 3. However, many of those games came from some unsuspected players.
Atlanta Falcons’ rookie wideout Calvin Ridley led all wide receivers in scoring with 40.5 points. He caught seven balls for 146 yards and a whopping three scores. Robert Woods finished second with 33.7 and Jordy Nelson came in behind both Woods and Ridley with 29.3 points.
The top five scoring receivers round out with Mike Evans at four and Tyler Boyd five. Both players finished with 25.
