Broncos squander a fourth-quarter lead in Week 2 vs. the Colts as penalties, misreads and late-game decisions derail Denver’s chances. Bo Nix’s risky play near midfield produced an interception that could have sealed a field-goal opportunity; Jonathan Taylor sparked a late surge with a 68-yard run. A missed 42-yard field goal in the dome and costly penalties piled on, underscoring the need for tighter late-game discipline ahead of Week 3 against the Chargers.

Denver's 2025 start sour further after Week 2, as a late leverage penalty on a 60-yard field-goal attempt swung a tight game against Indianapolis. Payton took ownership, calling the setup ill-advised, a reminder that end-game risk and special-teams blocks can decide fantasy-relevant outcomes. The Colts capitalized on a balanced attack and a key miss by Spencer Shrader, while Jonathan Taylor remains a constant thorn for the Broncos as they brace for a tougher schedule.

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.

Colts top Broncos in a playoff-tight AFC clash as Daniel Jones dazzles with 316 passing yards and a rushing TD, while Nick Cross and Cam Bynum anchor the secondary. Xavien Howard struggles with penalties and coverage, and Spencer Shrader irons out the kicking game until a late 60-yard try is wiped by a penalty and a game-ending 45-yard winner. Indy’s discipline must improve after a slate of penalties, with a big test coming in Tennessee.

McCarthy's Week 3 status could swing the Vikings' fantasy outlook. If sidelined, Carson Wentz would start, aiming to extend a historic streak of six teams in six seasons. Behind him, undrafted Max Brosmer adds uncertainty. The matchup with Cincinnati, and the slate of potential starts beyond, push risk and upside for Vikings pass-catchers.
