• It's time for Joe Burrow to break out of his slump: Burrow has not lived up to his draft cost, but fantasy managers should be rewarded big time in Week 3 in a fantastic matchup. No defense has allowed more passing touchdowns, passing yards, or fantasy points to quarterbacks than the Washington Commanders over the last two seasons.
• Don't play Justin Fields this week: This game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers should be a low-scoring affair. Both coaching staffs have the same mindset — run the ball, don’t risk turnovers and play great defense. The Steelers have scored one single touchdown this season, and I don’t expect their offense to awaken against the Chargers stingy defense.
