Detroit stormed Chicago for 52, erasing Week 1 jitters as Jared Goff carved up the Bears for five passing TDs on 80% accuracy, with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams providing the big-play spark. John Morton’s play-calling looked sharper behind an improving line, while Bears OC Ben Johnson watched from the other sideline. Across outlets, Lions sit in a broad top-10 range entering Week 3, signaling a durable fantasy ceiling for Detroit’s pass game.

Power rankings entering Week 3 cluster the Lions at No. 5–12 across ESPN, The Athletic, NFL.com, Fox, NBC, and CBS, underscoring a consensus that Detroit’s offense is back in elite territory. The Week 2 blowout confirms Goff’s efficiency and the WR duo’s upside, with Morton stabilizing the offense and the line rounding into form, even as division rivals like Green Bay and Chicago loom in the division.

The New York Jets added depth at defensive back by signing Nik Needham to the practice squad after a Tuesday workout that included eight DBs: Nik Needham, Jaden Davis, Thomas Graham, Richie Grant, Arthur Maulet, Tanner McAlister, Jalen Mills, and Duke Shelley. With two injuries in the secondary, the club is layering options as they monitor additional silhouettes for potential roster moves.

Needham stands out given his Dolphins tenure and recent PS experience, plus his size and versatility. Mills is a veteran name headed toward the Texans’ practice squad, while Graham’s 12-game resume since 2021 makes him a candidate to watch. Maulet is a familiar face, and Shelley, Davis, and McAlister add depth pieces with potential special-teams value. The Jets are casting a wide net as they navigate a banged-up secondary and look for reliable depth behind the starters.

Bills sit No. 1 with a clean Week 2 showing, followed by Eagles, Ravens, Packers, and Chargers as Week 3 favorites. The rest of the league shifts with the Dolphins and Panthers sliding after rough outings, while Colts climb into the middle of the pack on explosive offense and emerging pieces. Bryce Young flashed in Carolina, Spencer Rattler impressed in New Orleans, and J.J. McCarthy looks like a work-in-progress in Minnesota as teams settle into schemes and fantasy roles.
