We have a game between the New York Giants and the Cleveland Browns. All eyes will be on Daniel Jones to see if he can have another decent performance on the road. Fantasy managers will continue to hope he looks toward Malik Nabers with another high target share. The Browns want to get their passing game rolling with a solid matchup. We need this to be Amari Cooper’s blow-up game of the week.

We may get the return of Jordan Love in Week 3. If not, we get to see a revenge game for Malik Willis. We should continue to see the run game for Green Bay to shine in this matchup. On the Titans side, they are looking for better passing offense under Will Levis. You should expect their run game to be featured in a favorable matchup.

We have two teams that desperately need to get their offense on track—the Bears and the Colts. For the Bears, we need to see something more from Caleb Williams, who (not completely his fault) needs to get this passing game going.  It will help if they establish the run game against a very poor Colts run defense. For the Colts, they will have a tough matchup, but this offense needs to find their rhythm in order to help us with fantasy points.

We have the battle of two undefeated teams in the Texans and the Vikings. The Texans are going to have to rely on their passing game in this one. They have the favorable matchup that should allow the receiving group to have a good day in fantasy. The Vikings will need to find a way to protect Sam Darnold and allow him time to make plays downfield. As long as Justin Jefferson is on the field expect the offense to be competitive and get opportunities to score.

We probably have one of the most interesting matchups all week in the Eagles and the Saints. Philadelphia will look to forget the last-second loss from Week 2 and test if New Orleans is for real. Jalen Hurts will likely have to play as well, or better than last week. The Saints are trying to prove the doubters wrong and taking down another playoff team. The key to their success is the passing game in which the Eagles have a bottom five secondary in football. This game could end up being high scoring on Sunday.

We have another face off between two undefeated teams in the Chargers and Steelers. This game won’t be pretty for fantasy football. These are two teams that want to run the ball and play elite defense. Both teams essentially have a top-10 defense, so I’d expect low scoring and less than two total touchdowns on Sunday.

In Tampa, we get to see the Broncos face off against the Buccaneers. The Broncos offense has looked terrible through two games, but this one may get them on track. They need to take advantage of the Buccaneers’ poor run defense. For Tampa, their passing game has looked on-point this season, but they could use a spark in the run game. That backfield is a mystery right now, but they could see a positive game script with a favorable matchup against the Broncos run defense.

This one won’t be the most exciting game to watch, but the change at quarterback for the Panthers will hopefully give them some life. The best route for the Panthers is to establish the run game in a favorable matchup. For the Raiders, they need a repeat show of their surprising win in Week 2. They have the weapons to air the ball out if they want to. Head coach Antonio Pierce has stated he wants to run the ball, so we’ll see if he’s for realgoing in to a very favorable matchup.

This one could be a bloodbath on Sunday between the Miami Dolphins and the Seattle Seahawks. Miami is turning to Skylar Thompson as they have to fly out west against a tough defense. Seattle has been fantastic in the secondary, so Miami is going to have to find a way to get their run game going. Seattle also doesn’t have the best matchups with Miami’s defense holding strong. If they air the ball out like they did in Week 2, they should find success for fantasy.

It’s time for damage control as two playoff-caliber teams look to avoid a very poor start after Week 3. The Ravens have been very pass-happy, but they need to get back to running the ball more against the worst run defense in football. Hopefully, this is a game where we see Mark Andrews finally play like a TE1 as well. For Dallas, it’s going to be up to their passing game to produce fantasy points. They have a favorable matchup against a Ravens secondary that isn’t scaring anyone right now.

This should be a fun one to watch between the Detroit Lions and the Arizona Cardinals. It’s not going to be an easy day for either backfield as both teams have very strong run defense. We could finally see a shootout game with both passing units. Both secondaries rank in the bottom 10 in the league, so we could see stars like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Marvin Harrison Jr. show off their talents on Sunday.

This is the battle of two injury-riddled teams in the 49ers and Rams. The 49ers will likely run through Jordan Mason and Brandon Aiyuk as the Rams have one of the worst defenses in 2024. For the Rams, it’s about finding some consistency in their back ups. They may try to lean on Kyren Williams, but someone in the passing game will need to take advantage of an injured secondary for the 49ers.

Our final Sunday game is between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Atlanta Falcons. Now that the backfield is turning into a full blown committee, look for the Chiefs passing game to take a bump up. This could be the primetime game where we finally see all the stars in the offense go off for high production. For the Falcons, it won’t be an easy task from the ground game, so they may need to rely on the passing game. If they can get Kyle Pitts involved in one of the best position matchups of the weekend, that would be ideal.

We get two MNF games with the first one between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills. The Jaguars seem lost on offense, but the passing unit isn’t likely to find their groove in the game. Look for Travis Etienne to put the team on his back to help produce fantasy points on this offense. For the Bills, it’s an overall easy matchup for them with the ground and air. They will likely continue to ground and pound, but hopefully Khalil Shakir can continue to break away from the pack as the top receiver in this offense.

Our second MNF game is between the Washington Commanders and the Cincinnati Bengals. Jayden Daniels and the run game have been fantastic for fantasy. They are going to need to continue in a difficult matchup with the Bengals secondary. On the Bengals side of the ball, they need to take advantage of the worst secondary in football right now. The hopeful return of Tee Higgins should make this passing unit even stronger starts for lineups.
