Can Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs defy history to make the playoffs? - Washington Times
KC faces a steep climb after an 0-2 start, but playoff odds remain favorable. BetMGM clocks KC at about 65% to reach the postseason, while only about 11% of 0-2 teams have advanced since 2020. The Chargers now lead the AFC West, reshaping division odds as KC tries to rebound. Mahomes remains the engine, but Lamar Jackson shows elite efficiency and long field goals are surging across the league, adding new wrinkles for fantasy managers.
With KC 0-2, is it time to pivot away from Mahomes for Week 3 fantasy lineups?Based on the 11.6% historical rate, should you hedge with a Chargers stack or go risk on a 0-2 team?How does Lamar Jackson s efficiency rating and Mahomes rushing impact Week 3 projections?Is the long kicking surge sustainable and should you target kickers like Aubrey or Tucker?

Bills dispatch New York Jets 30-10 to deliver convincing victory for Proline players
Buffalo’s 30-10 win over the Jets followed an opening victory against Baltimore, with bets heavily favoring Buffalo and the Bills maintaining a strong Super Bowl LX favorite stance. Detroit’s 52-21 demolition of Chicago underscored the Lions’ ceiling, while Philadelphia edged Kansas City in a Super Bowl rematch. Falcons, Buccaneers, and Chargers all earned wins in a NFL-dominated weekend. On the MLB side, Trey Yesavage’s major-league debut for Toronto sparked big multi-pick payouts as the Jays edged Tampa Bay.
Which NFL matchup from the weekend offers the strongest fantasy upside and why?With Buffalo leading SB LX futures, should you lock in Bills exposure or diversify?How does MLB betting movement affect fantasy strategies for week-long formats?Which sleeper NFL team could surprise as a playoff contender based on Week 2 trends?

Atlanta Falcons Defense Already Changing Minds at ESPN

Atlanta Falcons Defense Already Changing Minds at ESPN

Atlanta’s defensive rebuild is paying early dividends. After two weeks, the Falcons sit near the top in total yards allowed, scoring, and turnover margin, powered by a 2024 defensive class (Orhorhoro, Dorlus) and a 2025 rookie edge group (Walker, Pearce Jr.) along with Watts and Bowman Jr. The defense is dictating games, with Floyd providing veteran pressure as the youngsters learn on the fly.

ESPN’s column captures a pivotal shift: rookies in four roles have thrived, reviving a once-weak pass rush and secondary. While the offense hasn’t found a seamless rhythm yet, the defense looks sustainable and playoff-capable. Penix isn’t required to push the ball; the team’s balance is improving, and skeptics are being won over through early results.

The Falcons’ trajectory hinges on staying healthy and maintaining this complementary dynamic—stingy defense feeding an offense that’s still ironing out its execution. The next test will reveal whether this is a true turnaround or a promising start that needs confirmation.

Based on Atlanta’s early defensive surge, should fantasy managers target Falcons defenders in the coming weeks?Can Walker and Pearce Jr. sustain a high sack pace with Floyd’s guidance?Which Falcons offensive players could break out as the defense improves?What’s the Falcons’ playoff outlook from a fantasy perspective if the defense remains strong?

Fantasy Football Matchups We Love - Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 3 (2025) | Fantasy News

Week 3 fantasy preview centers on elite ceilings and cleanly favorable matchups. Josh Allen faces a Dolphins defense that has shown vulnerabilities, making Allen a top QB staple this week. Drake Maye keeps pushing in a favorable Pitt matchup, while Bijan Robinson awaits a run-friendly date with Carolina. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery carry Week 3 upside against Baltimore, with Jefferson and Boutte delivering high-target potential against weaker pass defenses. Sam LaPorta and Jake Ferguson offer solid streaming TE options, and Nabers remains a flexible play against Kansas City. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp provide strong stacks in the right games. Derrick Henry’s spot versus Detroit remains nuanced, but upside exists in short-yardage and goal-line packages.

Two-paragraph summary: Allen’s Week 3 ceiling centers on a shootout pace in Miami, backed by Bills’ balanced attack. Maye’s growth continues as New England leans into his dual-threat ability against Pittsburgh, while Robinson’s Carolina matchup anchors a safe volume floor for Week 3. Jefferson’s move to feast against Cincinnati hinges on evolving chemistry with Wentz, and LaPorta’s mid-range TE appeal grows as Detroit leans into the air game to counter Baltimore. The slate rewards lineups that combine high-volume RBs, clearWR targets, and efficient streaming TEs in favorable matchups.

Which Week 3 QB matchup offers the best ceiling for DFS and season-long formats?Which RB matchup provides the clearest Week 3 value for fantasy RBs?Which WRs look like the strongest Week 3 plays given favorable matchups?Which TE options provide Week 3 streaming upside?
