Jordan Addison, A.J. Brown, and Justin Fields are among the major players with uncertain Week 3 statuses.

The episode begins with a rundown of player injuries and statuses for Week 3, noting that Jordan Addison, A.J. Brown, and Justin Fields are among those affected. The host then transitions to previewing games of the week, starting with the early window matchup between the undefeated Vikings and Texans, predicting a pass-heavy game favoring Houston's receivers. In the afternoon window, the Cowboys-Ravens game is highlighted as a desperate clash for both 1-1 teams. Sunday Night Football features the Chiefs at Falcons, with attention on Kansas City's backfield and Atlanta's passing game development. Monday night includes two games: Jaguars at Bills and Commanders at Bengals, with the latter expecting Tee Higgins' season debut. The host provides fantasy sit/start suggestions across four positions, recommending Baker Mayfield as a start and Justin Herbert as a sit at quarterback. At running back, Jordan Mason is a start while Austin Ekeler is a sit. For wide receiver, Rashee Rice is a start and Quentin Johnston is a sit. At tight end, Brock Bowers is a start and Dalton Schultz is a sit. A listener question is addressed, choosing DK Metcalf over Zay Flowers. The episode concludes with picks against the spread for Week 3 games, including the Browns covering against the Giants and the Packers winning outright over the Titans. The host reminds listeners to check inactives before kickoff and signs off with well-wishes for fantasy matchups.
