Week 3 IDP focus centers on the latest risers, pitfalls, and matchup plays across DL, LB and DB units. Byron Young bursts out for the Rams, while Kevin Byard stumbles for the Bears, shaping waiver decisions and start-sits. The piece also notes high-upside plays like Watt, Hendrickson, Bosa and Parsons, with caution flags around Philly and Buffalo matchups.

The emphasis on snap rates, pass rush grades, and opponent offensive lines gives fantasy managers a sharper lens for rostering top DLs, linebackers, and defensive backs, while identifying safer floor plays in two-IDP formats. Week 3 intrigue lands across the entire IDP slate.
