Today's top games to watch, best bets, odds: WNBA playoff showdowns, MLB slate and more - CBSSports.com

Tuesday brings two WNBA elimination games as Indiana hosts Atlanta and Seattle welcomes Las Vegas. The Fever and Dream clash after Atlanta’s Game 1 win, while Seattle tries to force a deciding Game 3 against a 17-game streaking Aces led by A’ja Wilson, who dismisses the run despite the streak’s lore. Noelle Quinn’s rotation and rookie Dominique Malonga’s minutes could swing Seattle’s fate.

Off the court, a stacked MLB slate features Phillies at Dodgers and Nationals at Braves with high-scoring projections, plus NFL Week 3 spotlight Bills–Dolphins as Buffalo guns for 3-0. The bets thread through multiple leagues, shaping early-season fantasy and betting angles across hoops, baseball and football.

Which single fantasy angle offers the strongest upside across Tuesday’s card?How should you balance risk between WNBA and MLB on Tuesday?What is the safest overall play for Tuesday across the slate?Which prop best captures the late-game upside across the slate?

Chris Perkins: Dolphins' defense is biggest disappointment of early season

Orlando Sentinel

Chris Perkins: Dolphins' defense is biggest disappointment of early season

Miami’s defense has been an unmitigated disaster through two games, with blown coverages, missed tackles, and a lack of pressure from a front seven that was supposed to carry the team. They’ve allowed 30+ points in three straight games, sit 31st in points allowed, and have produced zero turnovers. With Josh Allen and Buffalo visiting Highmark, the matchup favors the Bills’ explosive attack. The piece also notes Weaver’s status as interim head-coach candidate if the defense doesn’t rebound, creating heavy fantasy implications.

Given the Dolphins’ defensive struggles, what is the best DFS stack for Bills vs Dolphins this week?Which Dolphins players look most at risk and should be avoided in fantasy despite the matchup?If Weaver is named interim head coach, what are the fantasy and betting implications for this defense?Which opposing offense players look like the safest plays vs Miami this week?

Daniel Jones could become latest ex-NY QB to find success elsewhere

Daniel Jones could become latest ex-NY QB to find success elsewhere

Daniel Jones is thriving in Indianapolis, steering the Colts to a 2-0 start with elite efficiency. He leads the league in yards per attempt and has both big passing totals and three rushing TDs, all while the Colts haven’t punted through 14 drives to begin the season. Jones beat out Anthony Richardson for the job and has weapons in Taylor, Pittman, Pierce, Downs and Nabers, plus a veteran coaching staff. The early surge redefines Jones’s career arc and Colts’ ceiling.

Broncos’ Biggest Test is How They Respond to Gut-Punch Loss

Sports Illustrated

Broncos’ Biggest Test is How They Respond to Gut-Punch Loss

Denver must rebound after Week 2 heartbreak, as a defensive unit under pressure and an offense that moved the ball against a depleted opponent face a brutal early schedule. Bo Nix-led production, despite defensive gaps in Surtain II, Allen, and Bonitto, raises questions about depth and scheme. The upcoming slate—Chargers, a Bengals game sans Burrow, Eagles, a London date with the Jets, and a Giants tilt—will test locker-room leadership under Sean Payton and the team’s playoff hopes.

What is the single most actionable takeaway for fantasy managers from Denver’s Week 2 setback and the upcoming slate?Which Week 3 performance indicator would best validate Denver’s rebound trajectory?How should fantasy owners parse the Week 3 Chargers game for Broncos players?What is the safest Broncos betting angle after Week 2’s result and the looming schedule?
