Week 3 Start ‘Em: Defenses
Start of the Week
Chiefs defense vs. Bears (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox): The Chiefs defense has played well through two weeks, and a matchup against the Bears makes it a nice option. Their offense has turned the ball over four times and allowed 10 sacks of their quarterback, Justin Fields, so the Chiefs should feast in this matchup.
Start ‘Em
Jaguars defense vs. Texans (1 p.m. ET, Fox): The Jaguars are a nice streaming option this week, facing a home game against the Texans. Their offensive line has allowed a league-high 11 sacks through two games, and they’re averaging a mere 14.5 points. Look for Jacksonville to put up a nice total this weekend.

Week 3 Sit ‘Em: Defenses
Sit of the Week
Broncos defense at Dolphins (1 p.m. ET, CBS): The Broncos defense has looked awful in the first two weeks, including last week when it let Sam Howell and the Commanders run and throw the ball at will in the second half. This defense is a hard sit ‘em in a tough road game against Miami and their explosive offense.
Sit ‘Em
Saints defense at Packers (1 p.m. ET, Fox): The Packers have been tough for defenses to score fantasy points against, as Jordan Love has played mistake-free football through two weeks. The offense hasn’t had a giveaway, and Love has been sacked just twice. Those stats make the Saints a fade for me this weekend.
