Keyon Martin’s pick-six highlighted Week 3 of the 2025 NFL preseason for the Ravens, underscoring his standout rookie showcase with strong coverage. Antwaun Powell-Ryland and Marlowe Wax flashed for the Eagles and Chargers, respectively, while Malachi Moore, Tez Johnson, Jamaal Pritchett, Tru Edwards, Coleman Owen, and J.R. Singleton joined the wave of top Week 3 rookies. The batch hints at fantasy-friendly depth in the defensive backfield, receivers, and edge/OL positions as rosters take shape.

Tru Edwards stole the night for the Rams with a clean sideline grab that flashed elite focus and catch-point ability in the preseason spotlight.

Dresser Winn led a crisp Rams drive, showing touch and tempo as Los Angeles leaned on depth at quarterback beyond the starter.

Across the league, Shough and Sanders battled inconsistencies in backup action, while Riley Leonard connected on a deep score for Indianapolis and Isaac TeSlaa flashed for Detroit, hinting at emergent roles.

Special-teams highlights and veteran performances closed the night, with Tyler Loop drilling a 61-yard FG for Baltimore and Brandon Aubrey following up with a 64-yarder, underscoring the value of kickers in late-round fantasy and Week 1 projections.

Stetson Bennett stole the spotlight in a Rams preseason clash, throwing for a career-high 324 yards and three touchdowns as Los Angeles stormed back to beat the Chargers 23-22. Bennett completed 28 of 40 passes and guided a late game-winning drive, finishing with an 8-yard TD to Tru Edwards with 10 seconds remaining.

The former Georgia star peppered the Chargers with accuracy, including a 38-yard strike to Mario Williams, and he calmly navigated two crucial fourth-down plays to keep drives alive. An earlier interception by TeRah Edwards briefly swung momentum, but Bennett answered with poise, underscoring a growing case for the Rams to consider him a serious backup option with Matthew Stafford still recovering.

With Stafford sidelined, Bennett’s preseason showing adds a fresh, high-leverage dimension to the Rams’ quarterback depth chart and harkens back to his late-2024 heroics against Dallas. Fantasy managers should note Bennett’s continued development and the potential for meaningful NFL action if Stafford’s return timeline remains uncertain.

A college coaching scandal collided with NFL preseason drama as a trolling moment stole some spotlight from the football field. The Rams fired back at Jim Harbaugh’s NCAA penalties with a cheeky social post, signaling the off‑field saga remains loud in the sport’s echo chamber. The NFL side of the story moved quickly in the same week: a tense exhibition between the Rams and Chargers ended 23‑22 after a late Stetson Bennett TD hookup, with Tru Edwards snagging an 8‑yard score as five seconds remained. Edwards would exit the game with a concussion, adding another layer to a chaotic week for both teams.

Off the field, Harbaugh’s fate looms large: the NCAA’s 10‑year show‑cause penalty (on top of a prior four years) could effectively bar him from college coaching through 2038, while reports noted a five‑year Chargers contract at $16 million per year. In his first Chargers season, Harbaugh guided a rebound from 5‑11 to 11‑6, a notable turn for a program that had just seen sanctions swirl around its leadership. For fantasy players, the intersection of coaching chaos and late‑season NFL depth charts creates ripples—from a potential Bennett opportunity in Los Angeles to the Chargers’ WR stability after Johnston’s concussion. The Rams’ playful jab against the Harbaugh era underscored how quickly narratives shift from sanctions to scheming and contingency plans as teams navigate a season full of unknowns.
