▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Josh Kendall | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +23 min

None of the top five fantasy players coming into the season based on average draft position is in the top 48 in fantasy scoring. (The fantasy scoring numbers here are provided by TruMedia, and the average draft position statistics were compiled by Fantasy Pros.) Aaron Jones (15.7 fantasy ppg) has been a good pick but left early Sunday with a hip injury. The only bright spot for Las Vegas is rookie tight end Brock Bowers, who is 76th in fantasy scoring (13.3). Brian Thomas Jr. is 35th in fantasy scoring (16.2 ppg), which is second-best among rookie wide receivers behind only Malik Nabers.

It’s Week 3 of the NFL Power Rankings, and Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan speaks for all of us. ETGO DEEPER NFL Week 2 takeaways: What Chiefs' latest survival shows, Ravens problems, Saints thrivingLast week: 3Thursday: Beat Miami Dolphins 31-10Week 1 was the Josh Allen Show — four touchdowns and 279 combined passing and rushing yards. Dallas Cowboys (1-1)Last week: 7Sunday: Lost to New Orleans Saints 44-19The roller-coaster ride of being a Cowboys fan never ends, does it? That’s been enough because the defense hasn’t allowed either opponent to top 90 yards rushing. Look for a heavy dose of De’Von Achane, who had 96 rushing yards and 69 receiving yards against the Bills, as long as he’s healthy.
