Week 3 Fantasy Football Quarterback Streaming: Jacoby Brissett Can Thrive Against the Browns
Sam Bradford, Minnesota Vikings
ESPN Ownership: 15.2%
If his status wasn't up in the air, Sam Bradford would probably be the top streamer this week, but his knee is a major concern after he missed the Minnesota Vikings' Week 2 contest.
Monitor his status this week, and if he's trending in the right direction, chances are you can scoop him up off the waiver wire for his home date with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tampa Bay bottled up the Chicago Bears last week and sits 11th against the pass, per our metrics, through their one game. But that contest was at home against Mike Glennon. This Vikings offense will be a much tougher challenge.
Bradford flashed a big-time ceiling in Week 1, and he's been really solid at home in his time with the Vikings. Here are his home-road splits from 2016, with the quarterback rating coming from Pro-Football-Reference.com.
| Split | Games | QB Rating | Touchdowns | Picks | Adjusted Yards/Attempt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home | 8 | 103.4 | 11 | 2 | 7.65 |
| Away | 7 | 93.9 | 9 | 3 | 7.01 |
And those numbers don't account for his Week 1 eruption, when he connected on 27 of 32 throws for 346 yards and 3 scores against the New Orleans Saints.
Bradford is a health risk as of now, but if he plays, he offers enticing upside in a solid home matchup.
Editor's note: Bradford has been ruled out and will not play Sunday.
