Week 3 NFL Showdowns: Who's Running and Who's Throwing?

In the NFL, some teams just can't stop the run, while others can't stop the pass. Week 3 brings some interesting matchups that could help fantasy football players make smart choices. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a rush defense that's been terrible so far. Teams are running the ball almost half the time against them. This could be a big week for Rhamondre Stevenson, the main running back for the Patriots. He's getting most of the carries and could have a solid game if the Patriots get ahead. The Chicago Bears are another team that struggles against the run. They've allowed the most rushing yards before contact in the league. Javonte Williams, the star running back for the Cowboys, should have a great game against them. On the other side, the New Orleans Saints are a team that can't stop the pass. They've faced the third-highest pass rate in the league. If the Seahawks can keep the game close, their passing game could have a big day. Sam Darnold might throw more than expected, and receivers like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Ken Walker could benefit. The Arizona Cardinals are a team that's great against the run but struggles against the pass. The 49ers might have to throw more than usual against them. Mac Jones could have a big passing day if the Cardinals focus on stopping the run. It's important to remember that these predictions are based on how teams have played so far. Things can change quickly in the NFL, and a team's performance can vary from week to week. But for now, these matchups could give fantasy players an edge.
