The NFL season is heating up for week two, and fantasy players could win big in this upcoming weekend’s top NFL DFS redraft. Players could win big in Week 3’s top DFS lineups and potential stack. With the NFL season underway, fantasy players could win big in this week’s slate of games, cash prizes, and fantasy points in this week’s DFS lineups.

It was a great week one for fantasy players who prefer quarterbacks and wide receivers in various leagues, especially from the NFC South. After an intense week one, fantasy players should target players that are in the NFC South and West due to the volatility. Along with the receivers, running backs have also made a case in fantasy points with amazing plays from running backs in Week 1. With another week of chaos in the NFL here, fantasy players could win big in Week 3’s top NFL DFS redraft lineups and stacks.

Top NFL DFS Start ‘Em For Week 3:

Quarterback: Mac Jones, San Francisco 49ers (vs. Arizona)

For fantasy players to start Week 3, top NFL DFS lineups, Mac Jones is the quarterback for this week’s slate of games. During the win against the Saints, Jones had a strong game with three touchdowns, 26 for 39, and 279 passing yards. Jones has been a solid player in week two and could continue his momentum against the Cardinals. 

Fantasy players for this week’s top NFL DFS should expect Jones to have another multi-touchdown game against a weak Cardinals defense, with the Niners’ various receiver weapons for fantasy lineups in the NFL DFS week three match-ups.

Additional Quarterback Starts: Baker Mayfield, Jake Browning, Drake Maye

Running Back: Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@ New York Jets)

Another player to have for fantasy lineups in week two’s slate of games is Bucky Irving after a strong game against the Texans. In Week 2’s win on Monday night, Irving had 71 rushing yards with 50 receiving yards from six receptions. 

Irving has been part of the Buccaneers’ two-headed monster with White and has been playing well in the past two weeks. With the Bucs offense being hot, fantasy players could see Irving have a 100-yard rushing game against the Jets and their collapsing defense in week three.

Additional Running Back Starts: Chase Brown, Nick Chubb, Javonte Williams

Wide Receiver: Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions (@ Baltimore Ravens)

A player who could have another great game for this week’s top NFL DFS redrafts is Jameson Williams. During the blowout win against the Bears, Williams had 108 receiving yards with two receptions and a touchdown. 

Williams could have a great game against the Ravens and their soft secondary, with the game planning from Dan Campbell and the Lions’ coaching staff. DFS players from week three’s redraft lineups could see Williams have a 50-yard receiving game with a touchdown from the Lions’ emerging star receiver.

Additional Wide Receiver Starts: Quentin Johnston, Ricky Pearsall, Hollywood Brown, Terry McLaurin

Tight End: Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills (vs. Miami Dolphins) 

A player that could have a strong game for fantasy players in week three top NFL DFS redrafts in the tight end position is Dalton Kincaid. In Week 2’s win against the Jets, Kincaid had 37 receiving yards from four receptions in the blowout victory.

Kincaid has been emerging as one of Josh Allen’s top targets, with Dawson Knox being older, and could have a strong game against the Dolphins. Fantasy players could see a multi-touchdown game from the Bills’ young, emerging tight end against their division rivals. 

Additional Tight End Starts: Zach Ertz, Sam LaPorta

Top NFL DFS Sit ‘Em For Week 3:

Quarterback: Carson Wentz, Minnesota Vikings (vs. Cincinnati Bengals)

The first player to have in their fantasy benches is Carson Wentz as your quarterback. JJ McCarthy is hurt but came off a horrible game against the Falcons. McCarthy had an abysmal game, going 11/21 with two brutal interceptions. The backup, even with Kevin O’Connell, will likely not play that much better than McCarthy. Aaron Jones was also put on IR, so with Jordan Mason as the starting running back, this offense in general will be a lesser version of themselves this week.

Additional Quarterback Sits: Russell Wilson, CJ Stroud, Tua Tagovailoa

Running Back: Breece Hall, New York Jets (vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

A running back who should be sitting in fantasy benches in Week 3 is Breece Hall after a horrid game against the Bills. In the losing effort against the Bills, Hall had 10 rushing attempts with 29 rushing yards in the blowout loss against Buffalo

Hall season is starting off poorly and fantasy players should bench him in order to save their fantasy season. Fantasy players for week three lineups could see another poor game from Hall against a solid Buccaneers defense with less than 30 rushing yards. 

Additional Running Back Sits: Quinshon Judkins, Jaylen Warren, Kyren Williams

Wide Receiver: Malik Nabers, New York Giants (vs. Kansas City Chiefs)

The wide receiver who should be on fantasy benches in Week 3’s top NFL DFS lineups is Malik Nabers. In a crushing loss against the Cowboys, Nabers had a 167-yard receiving game with nine receptions and two touchdowns. 

Nabers has been playing well in the past two weeks of the season for the Giants, but could struggle against the Chiefs’ defense. Fantasy players could see a poor game from the Giants’ star receiver, with a 40-yard game and no touchdowns from the Giants’ emerging superstar against a stout Chiefs defense.  

Additional Wide Receiver Sits: Jaylen Waddle, Jerry Jeudy, Travis Hunter

Tight End: Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders (@ Washington Commanders)

A player who should be on Week 3’s top NFL DFS benches in the tight end position is Brock Bowers. In the loss against the Chargers, Bowers had an abysmal performance with five receptions and 38 receiving yards in a brutal loss to Los Angeles. 

The Raiders offense had a poor game on Monday night and could have another stinker with Bowers suffering in fantasy points. Fantasy players could see Bowers have another poor game with less than five receptions and no touchdowns against a stout Commanders defense. 

Additional Tight End Sits: Trey McBride, David Njoku

FINAL THOUGHTS:

With Week 3 here for fantasy lineups, players could have a fun time with this weekend slate of games for top NFL DFS redrafts. The lineup stack that could have a strong game for fantasy players is Jones with his receiver core of Ricky Pearsall, Christian McCaffrey, and Brandon Aiyuk for fantasy lineup stacks. The Niners offense has been playing well in the first two weeks and could have another strong game for fantasy lineups for this week’s games. 

Fantasy players could also have the Bills in this week’s lineups, due to facing a weak Dolphins team. The Bills have been playing well and could have a great game on Thursday against a putrid Dolphins defense for fantasy lineups in this week’s top NFL DFS redrafts. Week 3 has a variety of strong games, and fantasy lineups could win cash prizes and more with this week’s top NFL DFS redrafts.
