Week 3 Preseason Hints at Early Fantasy Roles Across Steelers, Bills, and More

Week 3 of NFL preseason yielded several fantasy-relevant signals: Steelers' Roman Wilson appears to lead the Week 1 slot role over Germie Bernard, while Skyler Bell flashed in his Bills debut and could carve out a role in two-receiver sets; Patriots' WR depth is in flux after the Boutte trade, with Williams and Chism pushing for snaps; Chargers' Charlie Kolar looks like their top tight end in multiple formations, boosting his fantasy ceiling; 49ers' Kaelon Black is emerging as the No. 2 back behind Christian McCaffrey, offering late-round handcuff upside; Raiders' Nailor remains a starter but Jeanty’s injury status could affect his role, and a Rams-Dolphins trade move could ripple depth charts. Overall, these usage patterns help identify early-season targets and sleepers for Week 1.
