Garbage time fantasy report: Week 3's garbage timers

TAMPA, FL - DECEMBER 11: Quarterback Jameis Winston #3 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drops back and looks for an open receiver during the first quarter of an NFL game against the New Orleans Saints on December 11, 2016 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by Brian Blanco/Getty Images)

It wasn’t a great week to be a favorite, as the Dolphins, Buccaneers, Raiders and Panthers not only lost but ended up among the six teams with more than 25 garbage-time plays. That oddity created some unusual fantasy totals for players who rarely find themselves in the situations they were in on Sunday.

After suffering the biggest game script penalty a week ago, Jameis Winston got it all back playing catch-up against the Vikings this week.
