Eric Gray - New York Giants : Qwiket: Integrated Sports Knowledge

Pro Football Focus graded him at 87.8 for the performance, a precise signal of his upside as a starting tackle for the Chiefs.

Despite the loss, the standout showing fuels optimism for Week 3 against the New York Giants, giving fantasy managers a reason to watch Simmons closely as he cements a blind-side role and Kansas City's protection dynamics evolve behind a young, developing unit.

5 NFL starting quarterbacks are injured: What does this mean for each of their teams this week? - Yahoo Sports

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.

Which Week 3 backup QB yields the safest fantasy floor with the potential for a high ceiling in standard leagues?How should lineups be stacked when backup QBs are in play with top receiving options like Jefferson or Jennings?What late-week pivots should fantasy managers consider if Purdy’s toe injury lingers or Mac Jones remains hot?Which defense looks most exploitable against backup QBs in Week 3, and what bets would you consider?

Cowboys sideline exclusive: Calm, cool Brandon Aubrey steers Dallas through turbulent win

Brandon Aubrey’s 64-yard game-winner capped a tense Cowboys-Giants finish, with Dallas’ specialists calmly navigating the 1.3-second snap-hold-kick window amid 26 penalties and 984 total yards. The win rested on hidden yards and a handful of self-inflicted miscues, Beebe’s ankle injury and Turpin’s exit, plus a revised cornerback rotation. Parcells’ hidden-yard doctrine echoed as Dallas escaped 40-37 in overtime.

Which Cowboys special-teams perform best in clutch moments and how should that influence fantasy lineups going forward?What game scripts maximize Cowboys’ late-game kicking opportunities in the coming weeks?How should fantasy players rotate Cowboys kickers against tough defenses?Which Beebe-injury scenarios should fantasy managers prepare for in Week 4+?
