Week 3 Fantasy Football Market Share Report: Kirk Cousins Loves Him Some Adam Thielen

Red-Zone Market Shares

1. Carlos Hyde Is a Red-Zone Beast

Todd Gurley is dominating red-zone carries thus far with a whopping 18 attempts and 4 touchdowns inside the 20-yard line. But Carlos Hyde also has 4 touchdowns, and they've come on only 8 attempts inside the 20.

With Baker Mayfield stepping in as the starting quarterback, the Cleveland Browns' offense should see a boost across the board. And based off a very small sample against the New York Jets in Week 3, it may be more than a slight boost. That will only help Hyde.

To date, Hyde has 22, 16 and 23 rushes across the first three games, with 6 total targets. While Hyde has gone over 100 total yards just once this season (98 rushing, 5 receiving in Week 3), he's clearly ahead of Duke Johnson (10 carries, 5 catches) and Nick Chubb (7 rushes), making Hyde an easy every-week start right now.

2. Davante Adams Is the Red-Zone King for Green Bay

With seven red-zone targets and three touchdowns in as many games, Davante Adams is showing fantasy owners a premier rate of return on what was a heavy investment paid in drafts this season.

Adams is currently tied for fourth with Cooper Kupp in red-zone receiving targets, and his 3 touchdowns are tied for first.

There is little doubt that Adams is the top target in Green Bay. Randall Cobb has struggled since Week 1, and Geronimo Allison has garnered three red-zone looks, none of which have resulted in a score.

Much was made of Jimmy Graham's red-zone presence and how it might impact Adams. So far, Graham has one red-zone target and no touchdowns.

Adams -- who is sixth in the league in red-zone team target share at 46.7% and scored 10 touchdowns last season -- is as elite as they come at wideout.
