    Dallas Defense Has Only Two Sacks Through Three Games Through three games, the Dallas defense only has only two sacks, and none in the last two games. The Dallas defense seems to generate pressure but can’t finish the job. Fantasy angle Through three games, the Dallas defense only has only two sacks, and none in the last two games. That's a shaky fantasy-football signal, so keep the Dallas defense on a short leash. Don't chase the name. Chase the sacks, and Dallas has only two through three games.

    Talanoa Hufanga brings the sharper individual performance into the review. Hufanga finished Sunday’s game with five tackles, three passes defensed, two interceptions and a sack. That production gives the Broncos a disruptive piece capable of changing the fantasy outlook with coverage plays and pressure. The wider NFL slate delivered tight finishes, including a shock for the defending Super Bowl champions. Deebo Samuel’s 80-yard TD reception also highlighted an efficient performance from the aging veteran receiver, despite Samuel not being credited with a catch. The explosive play remains the key matchup signal for fantasy managers tracking his big-play value.

    Brock Purdy’s Four TDs Put Week 3 Fantasy Managers on Notice Brock Purdy continues to overcome injuries to his supporting cast, throwing for four TDs in Week 3.

The one-catch line is already thin, and the ankle injury makes Ferguson a fantasy stash at best.
