Week 3 fantasy recap

More difficult decisions on the way with the first bye week coming up. But first, a look back …

STUDS
Donovan McNabb, Eagles. This was the McNabb that was tearing up the league last year before his knee injury. Besides the 386 yards passing and four touchdowns, he was 21-for-26, which is over 80 percent. Yes, that stat has little fantasy meaning, but it’s a good sign that McNabb might be back.

Roy Williams, Lions. His numbers — 204 yards, 9 receptions and a TD — might seem a little inflated by his 91-yard score, but why quibble?

Anquan Boldin, Cardinals. The fantasy knock on Boldin coming into this season was that he wasn’t scoring touchdowns, as he had just four last year. After two on Sunday (as well as 14 receptions for 181 yards), he already has three this year.

SURPRISES
Kevin Curtis, Eagles. How’s this line: 11 receptions, 221 yards, 3 TDs. Think he’s Donovan McNabb’s new favorite receiver?

Joey Harrington, Falcons. I’m not saying you should pick him up as your backup QB, but 361 yards and two touchdowns were surprising.

DeShaun Foster, Panthers. Carolina is going to need more solid rushing performances like what Foster turned in: 122 yards and a touchdown.

SLOTHS

All those first-round RBs who still aren’t performing up to expectations. You know who they are.

Marc Bulger, Rams. Will it get better next week for him with Steven Jackson sidelined? If the Rams get into a shootout with the Cowboys, Bulger might put up better fantasy numbers. Still a must-start.

Marvin Harrison, Colts. He can have an average week once in a while, right?
