Dallas rode an overtime victory over New York, but the win masked a glaring issue: the safety depth and back-end coverage cratered under a wave of deep balls. Russell Wilson carved Dallas for 450 yards and three TDs, largely on throws over 20 yards, as Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker were repeatedly out of position. Dallas even released Israel Mukuamu before Week 1, signaling a risky reliance on a thin secondary. Fantasy outlook: monitor Cowboys safeties and opposing deep-ball targets; matchup-driven streaming and risk management loom in the weeks ahead.

Week 3 waiver wire rankings spotlight immediate adds for fantasy managers. Cam Skattebo leads the Giants’ backfield after a Sunday breakout, signaling a potential hot hand in Week 3. The Top 80 free-agent list includes Darnell Mooney, Bhayshul Tuten, Zach Ertz, and Juwan Johnson, with Troy Franklin rising for Denver and Daniel Jones delivering in Indy. Rankings are organized by position, flagging under-55% rostered players and offering QB/D/ST streaming and stash guidance for Week 3.

Week 3 fantasy sleepers look legit: Wan'Dale Robinson seized big-volume downfield chances for the Giants; Russell Wilson sparked the offense with a career-best yardage night; Zach Ertz re-emerged as Washington’s trusted TE. Hunter Renfrow flashed in Carolina with two scores; Denver’s Troy Franklin pushed for steady weeks alongside Engram and Marvin Mims Jr. Nabers and St. Brown powered Week 2; smart adds for Week 3 include Ertz, Wilson, Robinson, Renfrow, Engram, Franklin, Sutton, and Bryce Young.

Burrow’s toe injury will require surgery, sidelining him for at least three months. Cincinnati turns to Jake Browning, who relieved him with 241 yards, 2 TDs and 3 INT in Week 3, as they prep for Monday Night Football in Denver. Cincinnati sits at 2-0, Denver 1-1, with Week 3 at Minnesota preceding the MNF date against the Broncos on ABC (FuboTV streaming). Browning’s opportunity defines the fantasy upside for Bengals pass-catchers and reboots Denver’s defensive puzzle.
