Week 3 brings Seattle as 7.5-point favorites at home against New Orleans, but injuries to Devon Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori could blunt Seattle’s secondary edge. Spencer Rattler and the Saints offense have found traction, and the SportsLine model assigns a 38% upset chance for New Orleans—a surprisingly credible figure for a road test. The model’s Week 3 survivor pick diverges from Seattle, suggesting a one-score outcome with Seattle at about 62% win probability.

The slate features seven 5+ point spreads, including Dolphins-Bills, Packers-Browns, Falcons-Panthers, Jets-Bucs, Saints-Seahawks, Chiefs-Giants, and Lions-Ravens, underscoring how survivor players will chase value. The model touts a long, earned track record (10,000 simulations, 37-17 on top picks since 2024) and is the guiding beacon for those locking Week 3 picks, with promos noted for new users.

Marvin Harrison Jr. has just 11 targets through two games for Arizona, catching 2 for 27 in the latest winless struggle against Carolina after a 6-catch, 71-yard TD opener vs New Orleans. Kyler Murray nudges expectations with a candid take on target distribution—some days 10 looks, other days three, and that one football is shared by a lot. Harrison sits amid a rookie WR class with more early volume, while Arizona faces a Week 3 test as a 2.5-point underdog to San Francisco, making rest-of-season fantasy math intriguing and fluid.

Kyler Murray apologized after posting a photo of him wearing a retro Virginia Tech Michael Vick jersey with one of his bulldogs, saying he admired Vick but does not condone dogfighting and pulled the post after blowback. He stressed his bulldogs Swoosh and Trunks are treated like kings and expressed empathy for those offended. With a big game looming, the public optics moment is noted by fantasy managers as a potential distraction but unlikely to alter his role or fantasy ceiling.

Arizona may be eyeing fresh backfield help as James Connor ages, with Jerome Ford-acknowledged as Cleveland’s depth piece-hinted as a trade candidate. Ford’s ceiling in Cleveland is blocked by Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson, making the Cardinals a plausible landing spot where he could siphon 3–4 carries per game and relieve Connor’s workload while Arizona builds youth behind him.

Judkins unleashed 71 yards on 13 touches against Baltimore, vaulting him to the top of Cleveland’s depth chart with Sampson ready to absorb more work. A Ford move would let both teams optimize 2025 assets: Arizona gains a capable, inexpensive depth option; Cleveland recoups a mid-draft pick and accelerates its youth movement—impacting fantasy value for Connor, Ford, Judkins, and the Browns’ backfield map.
