Making the right start-sit calls each week is key, and these Week 3 fantasy football projections can help guide those tough decisions. Below, see how key Week 3 players like Denzel Boston, Devaughn Vele, […]

The Tennessee Titans are hopeful that running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) will be able to play in Sunday's Week 3 contest against the New York Giants, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com. He practiced in a limited capacity on Friday and was listed as questionable entering the weekend. While the Titans sound cautiously optimistic that […]

The NFL has officially requested to view video of the domestic incident that resulted in Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs being arrested and charged with two misdemeanors last offseason, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Earlier this month, Jacobs pleaded no contest to one misdemeanor count of battery and one misdemeanor count […]

The Week 3 Sunday slate closes with a primetime clash between two teams with serious postseason aspirations, as the L.A. Rams travel to Empower Field at Mile High to face the Denver Broncos.

Welcome back to our NFL Pick'em Pool Picks for Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season. Differentiating between signal and noise after the first week was tricky, but our sample size has now doubled from 16 to 32 games, giving us even more data to inform our picks for Week 3! Some questions do still […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (shoulder) is expected to be active for Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Warren had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The 27-year-old has a chance to take on a substantially larger role Sunday after teammate […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. has yet to log an offensive touch through two games this season, and he remains off the fantasy radar heading into Week 3 against the New England Patriots. Allen played 2% of the snaps in Week 1, and although that snap share jumped to 15% last Sunday, his […]

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has barely seen any involvement in the backfield through the first two weeks of the season. Davis saw one carry in the season opener, and he didn't do anything in the rushing game last week. It seems highly unlikely that Davis is going to do much of anything on […]

Indianapolis Colts running back Seth McGowan has barely seen the field over the first two games of the regular season. Heading into Week 3, McGowan has registered two carries for zero yards and one reception for zero yards. The 24-year-old is unlikely to have standalone value while Jonathan Taylor is healthy. Taylor is the workhorse […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Velus Jones Jr. was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, according to Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune. Bell was elevated ahead of the season opener against the New England Patriots, but he didn't log a carry. Lead back Jadarian Price (chest) is cleared to […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell hasn't turned his explosiveness into fantasy production yet this year. The 24-year-old has nine carries for 33 yards, with his longest run going for 11 yards through two games. He has seen minimal touches and is the clear RB2 behind Omarion Hampton. Mitchell enters Week 3 as RotoBaller's […]

Week 3 is the first week that actually feels like a season. Two games of usage, snap counts, and defensive tape are now on the board, and the remaining schedule is full of mismatches that will either inflate or crush a player’s ceiling. The Sunday-Monday slate alone has the Ravens and Cowboys in Brazil sitting […]

Hey RotoBallers! Welcome to the third edition of our High-Upside Bench Stashes series. Week 3 of the NFL season kicked off last night, but that doesn't mean we can't scan the waiver wire for any potential lottery tickets. This week, we will look at an emerging rookie running back in Tennessee who could find more […]

Week 2 was a bloodbath. If you came out unscathed, consider yourself lucky. Many other fantasy managers did not have that fortune. A whole lot of fantasy managers out there are in need of replacement options. There are also disappointing players who need to hit the bench. We are still early in the season, but […]

We are already entering Week 3 of the NFL season. Injuries are upon us in a big way, which makes weekly lineup decisions that much more difficult. Fantasy managers are already digging into the bench and waivers to fill a lineup. With important players such as Caleb Williams, J.K. Dobbins, and Malik Nabers dealing with […]

Sometimes, it's best to bite the bullet and cut bait with underperforming players in fantasy football. Being tempted to put them in your starting lineup, even for upcoming matchups that may look easy on paper, can put you in a hole and make it difficult to win your fantasy games in your leagues. The worst […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai enters a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football without an injury designation. The former seventh-round pick was a DNP earlier in the week due to a knee injury, but he followed it with two full practice sessions. He should be good to go for his typical […]

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has a lower overall floor and ceiling in Monday night's home matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 27-year-old has been solid thus far in 2026, averaging nearly five yards per carry (4.97) on 34 totes across the first two contests. Unfortunately, quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) will miss time, dropping […]
