New York Giants add LaMareon James to their practice squad, releasing Dee Williams, as they shuffle cornerback and return roles. James brings a blend of kick-return history from Old Dominion and defensive versatility from his time at TCU, plus experience with the Browns. Williams' exit ends a brief Giants stint after Seattle tenure and a December roster moment, signaling ongoing evaluation of depth and return-game upside in a crowded CB group.

The move underscores the Giants' emphasis on special-teams versatility and depth behind their top corners, with James potentially slotting into return duties and depth alongside their corner rotation. Look for further drills and signings as the team hedges against injuries and explores options on the waiver wire.

Week 3 NFL Pick'em Pool locks, semi-confident picks and toss-ups guide lineups with a focus on early-season trends. Indianapolis stands out as an under-the-radar heater, while Kansas City faces a road test against a potent Giants defense and Russell Wilson. The piece blends advanced stats, matchup edges, and injury/coaching notes to sharpen DFS and traditional pools for a high-variance Week 3.

Expect Jonathan Taylor’s workload and Daniel Jones’s distributing ability to shape fantasy outcomes, with Green Bay’s improved defense and a few tight-divisional matchups elevating several starts. The guide emphasizes edge plays, risk-reward decisions, and how week-to-week volatility can swing contests in both daily and season-long formats.

Injury news, rest-of-season implications, and coaching decisions are woven in to sour or sweeten upside across multiple games, helping fantasy players calibrate locks, semi-confident picks, and toss-ups for optimal Week 3 strategies.

Trey Benson is emerging in Arizona, with 39% of the RB snaps and 11 carries for 83 yards plus 5 receptions on 7 targets through two games. If James Conner misses time, Benson could become a league-winner and should be added in all leagues ahead of Week 3. Cam Skattebo has seized the Giants’ short-yardage and early-down work, logging 51% of RB snaps in Week 2 and delivering 11 carries for 45 yards, a rushing TD, and 2 receptions. Kayshon Boutte has become Maye’s top target in New England, flashing big-play upside after Week 1’s 103-yard performance and remaining on the field for most snaps, making him a solid high-floor flex.

Expect the backfields to stay dynamic, with Benson offering immediate Week 3 value, Skattebo holding RB2 upside if the Giants’ offense improves, and Boutte continuing to hold a meaningful role in NE’s passing game. If you need Week 3 stability with ceiling, these three are prime targets on the waiver wire.
