Week 3 kicks off with Bills hosting the Dolphins on Prime, Al Michaels the lead voice with Kirk Herbstreit and Kaylee Hartung. Chiefs visit the Giants in a SNF showcase, Lions head to Baltimore on MNF. A 15-game slate across FOX, CBS, NBC and ABC/ESPN follows, with full announcer crews for every matchup. This schedule helps fantasy managers map game timing, streaming windows, and late-swap opportunities across the weekend.

Tristan Wirfs remains sidelined for Week 2 with knee surgery in July, but a return appears closer. The Buccaneers shuffled the line in Week 1, starting Cody Barton at LT, Ben Bredeson at C, and Mike Jordan at guard, with a similar plan likely for Week 2. A late-October return window is suggested, around Week 5, per Schefter, which would be a major lift for Tampa Bay’s offense as Godwin inches back from his own injury and Wirfs progresses through rehab.

Buccaneers Week 2 inactives for their primetime bout with the Texans: Tristan Wirfs, Chris Godwin, Josh Williams, Rashad Wisdom, and Tez Johnson are out. Benjamin Morrison will be active, making his NFL debut after quad and college hip injuries, and he’s expected to be limited to special teams early. The absence list signals heavy depth reliance and a measured defensive rollout as Tampa Bay eyes a bounce-back opportunity.

Two Monday Night Football games headline the week: Tampa Bay visits Houston in the early window, then the Los Angeles Chargers host Las Vegas in a Harbaugh-Carroll reunion showdown. Geno Smith leads Vegas, with Will Dissly and Jamal Adams in the mix for the two teams. The matchup history—Harbaugh vs Carroll—adds intrigue, dating back to 2014, while ex-Seahawks anchors dot the rosters. Fantasy-minded observers should weigh quarterback vola, backfield volume, and receiving corps upside across both games.

Two Monday Night Football games close Week 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Houston Texans (early, ABC/ESPN) and Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas Raiders (night, ESPN). Tampa Bay aims to ride a 23-20 win over Atlanta; Houston seeks a rebound after a 14-9 loss to the Rams. The late game features a Chargers road test as road favorites, with Raiders fresh off a 1-0 start and a short week ahead. AFC West implications loom as Broncos and Chiefs stumbled in Week 1.
