Philadelphia Eagles continue to lean on the tush push for short-yardage, converting key first downs as the NFL debate over the move persists after no ban was imposed. Pre-snap jumps and safety questions keep this topic in the spotlight ahead of a big Rams matchup.

Bill Cowher blasts the tactic as a scrum, not a football play, warning of injury risk and unclear end points for the whistle. For fantasy and bets, Philly’s goal-line dominance remains real, but a potential refs crackdown could raise penalty risk in the Rams game and beyond.

Atlanta’s defense overwhelmed Minnesota, racking up eight sacks on J.J. McCarthy and delivering a decisive 19-point cover as underdogs. Seattle surged with Kenneth Walker’s 8.1-yard average and a high-velocity pass rush against Rodgers, while Detroit found a cleaner pocket and kept the connection to Amon-Ra St. Brown flowing. The piece then maps Weeks 3–6, highlighting soft and tough schedules to spot lines, totals, and futures edge for fantasy players and bettors alike.

Jared Goff lit up Chicago with five TDs and an 82.1% completion rate, a historic Lions showcase that featured three scores for Amon-Ra St. Brown and one each to Jameson Williams and Brock Wright. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery added rushing TDs as Detroit rolled 52-21.

The five-TD outburst moved Goff to second on Detroit's all-time TD list and underscored a red-hot offense after the Rams exit. With a clean pocket and a spread of targets, the Lions look like a high-upside weekly option, signaling strong fantasy value and DFS upside in favorable matchups.
