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.

The Browns slide back toward the NFL power rankings basement entering Week 3 after a 41-17 loss to Baltimore, with Joe Flacco's turnover issues and a dysfunctional run game dragging the offense down.

Across outlets, Cleveland sits in the high 20s to low 30s, as pundits debate whether Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders could unlock the offense and whether the defense can carry the load while the offense finds its footing.

Judkins' debut adds a spark, and the AFC North landscape shows Cleveland trailing, with an uncertain path to victory against Green Bay and Detroit, making every Week 3 result a potential turning point.

Kansas City opens 0-2 as Mahomes shoulders the burden, but the offense staggers without a functional run game or clean separation from wideouts, forcing him into hero-ball more than fantasy managers want. The lack of help compounds the issue and raises red flags about sustainable production.

With Rashee Rice sidelined for six games and Xavier Worthy’s availability uncertain, the Chiefs face a brutal early stretch vs the Giants, Ravens, Jaguars and Lions. The team must devise a true offensive plan beyond Mahomes’ improvisation, or risk slipping further and turning fantasy dreams into a land of unpredictable weeks.

Analysts emphasize that Mahomes can’t carry this approach for 17 weeks; Kansas City needs schematic fixes to unlock pass catchers and a viable rushing threat to keep pace with a stacked AFC.
