Whether you're dealing with some early-season injury bugs or left some holes open after your draft, there's a handful of players still available in most leagues that could be of service this week.

Here they are!

Arian Foster is out, and the Dolphins have a favorable matchup against the putrid Browns defense in Week 3. Rookie Kenyan Drake is lined up to receive a number of the carries, and should be owned in most leagues this week. After scoring on one of his two carries last week, expect at least a score against Cleveland.

Ryan Tannehill, QB

Sticking with the Dolphins theme here, Miami's matchup against the Browns makes Ryan Tannehill a viable fantasy play too, if you're streaming quarterbacks. He posted great numbers against New England -- though mostly in garbage time -- in Week 2, finishing with 389 yards and a pair of touchdowns. It's easy to see him having a day against the Cleveland defense.

Terrence Williams, WR

Williams is about as touchdown-dependent as they come, but against a porous Chicago Bears defense in Week 3, we could see Dak Prescott connecting with the speedy receiver after slipping through the cracks for a long score. He hasn't been targeted a ton thus far, but has hauled in three of the four passes thrown his way.

Jeremy Langford was seeing his carries reduced about midway through the Bears' Monday night matchup against Philadelphia before Carey was forced to leave the game with a sideline issue. Assuming Carey is healthy for Week 3, he's worth a look if you can afford to take a flier on a running back.

Jack Doyle, TE

Doyle caught two touchdown passes from Andrew Luck in Week 1's matchup against the Detroit Lions, and the Colts' Week 3 opponent, San Diego, has allowed 14 receptions to tight ends in the first two weeks. Dwayne Allen's presence takes away from some value here, but there's potential for a worthwhile play in Doyle against the Chargers.
