Atlanta’s defense overwhelmed Minnesota, racking up eight sacks on J.J. McCarthy and delivering a decisive 19-point cover as underdogs. Seattle surged with Kenneth Walker’s 8.1-yard average and a high-velocity pass rush against Rodgers, while Detroit found a cleaner pocket and kept the connection to Amon-Ra St. Brown flowing. The piece then maps Weeks 3–6, highlighting soft and tough schedules to spot lines, totals, and futures edge for fantasy players and bettors alike.

Brady's minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders and his Fox broadcast duties have sparked talk after reports he meets Raiders OC Chip Kelly several times weekly to review film and game plans. Pete Carroll says the interactions are regular and beneficial, while The Athletic notes Brady tracks every detail, raising questions about ownership influence and potential conflicts with NFL rules.

As the season unfolds, fantasy players should watch whether Brady’s input nudges Raiders’ play-calling, target shares, or late-game decisions. The league could demand clearer boundaries, but for now Brady’s advisory footprint remains a hot topic with real fantasy implications.

Week 3 tight end fantasy pivots lean toward volume and matchup. Juwan Johnson is the clear TE1 with elite route involvement and double-digit targets, setting a high ceiling against Seattle. Jake Tonges has seized the 49ers’ Week 3 start, leveraging a favorable Cardinals matchup. T.J. Hockenson should rise with extra targets in a favorable clash. Mark Andrews and Kyle Pitts carry risk after slow starts, while Tucker Kraft remains a risky but intriguing week-3 option with upside in a Packers offense that is leaning into his breakout stretch.

Week 3 starts hinge on role and opponent, with Johnson’s workload a standout edge, Tonges in a plug-and-play scenario, and Hockenson presenting a dart-throw upside play if the game plan tilts his way. Pitts and Andrews require price-conscious rostering given early-season patterning, while Kraft’s spike weeks keep him in the streamer conversation. Carolina’s weak TE defense and Cleveland’s softer matchup for Kraft are key elements for Week 3 decision-making.
