Caleb Williams shows growth in Week 2 with 207 passing yards, 2 TDs, and a 63% completion rate, connecting with Rome Odunze for two scores as the Bears fall 52-21 to Detroit. Williams thrives on in-rhythm drops, but accuracy and pocket pressure persist, contributing to four sacks and penalties. Ben Johnson stresses progression and consistency as Chicago heads to a Week 3 visit from Dallas, hoping the offense sustains its opening-drive TD streak and tightens reads under pressure.

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.

Week 3 shifts hit the fantasy radar as multiple starting QBs go down. Jake Browning steps in for Burrow in Cincinnati and delivers a late-game drive TD, raising Bengals’ ceiling. Carson Wentz slides into Minnesota’s QB mix while J.J. McCarthy heals, with Wentz’s familiarity giving him a chance to exploit a shaky Bengals defense. Tyrod Taylor anchors the Jets, Mac Jones shines in San Francisco, and Marcus Mariota Could start for Washington if Daniels sits. Backup-heavy lines demand sharp matchup-based rostering.

J.J. McCarthy’s high-ankle sprain sidelines Minnesota’s rookie QB for 2-4 weeks, elevating Carson Wentz to the starting role as Minnesota drops to 1-1 after a 22-6 SNF loss to Atlanta. The Vikings’ next test comes against Cincinnati, a team juggling its own QB situation. Fantasy managers should reassess Vikings pass-game expectations with Wentz under center and gauge how the Bengals’ QB instability might shape this Week 3-4 slate.

Sunday’s 1 p.m. game brings two starting QBs out of the mix for Minnesota and Cincinnati. J.J. McCarthy is sidelined with an ankle, and Aaron Jones is out with a hamstring, forcing Carson Wentz to start for Minnesota and Jordan Mason to carry the Bengals’ ground game. Wentz’s veteran presence and big-arm track record could stabilize the Vikings’ attack, while Mason faces a backfield-by-committee vibe with limited but meaningful volume. Fantasy managers should weigh Wentz as a safer streamer option and Mason as a plausible RB3/flex depending on game flow, especially with no betting lines in play as of now.
