The UCF Knights are set to take on the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday night. Coming into Week 3, the Knights will see their first real challenge of the season, traveling to Amon G. Carter Stadium.

The Knights looked explosive in their first two matchups, albeit against lower-tier opponents and their rushing attack looked dominant. In a matchup with a projected Over/Under of 62.5, the Knights could have several impact players for DraftKings Fantasy lineups.

Here are three UCF players to add to your DraftKings Fantasy lineup ahead of Week 3.

Three UCF players to add to your DraftKings lineups

KJ Jefferson, QB ($8,900)

Though his production may seem down at first glance, KJ Jefferson remains a strong option in fantasy, given his versatility as a runner. Between his first two matchups, Jefferson has racked up 89 rushing yards in two blowout wins that saw him play a little over two quarters.

In a matchup expected to be much closer, Jefferson's production should increase significantly with a full four-quarter performance. Paired with his ability to protect the ball, Jefferson is a reliable starter for Week 3.

RJ Harvey, RB ($8,500)

Given his production in the first two weeks, RJ Harvey is a steal at this price coming into Week 3. Fresh off back-to-back 31-plus point games, Harvey's production will likely remain consistent versus TCU.

Through two games, Harvey has notched 30 carries for 268 yards and six touchdowns, averaging an eye-popping 8.9 yards per carry. If you're looking for a running back to add to the 7 p.m. ET slate, look no further than Harvey.

Peny Boone, RB ($7,200)

As unattractive as taking a backup running back is in fantasy, Peny Boone's efficiency makes him a reliable pick despite backing up RJ Harvey.

Boone is a good one-two punch paired with Harvey for anyone looking to combine a backfield. Drafting both Harvey and Boone is a surefire 40 points for your backfield.
