NFL Week 3 latest buzz, fantasy tips and upset predictions - ESPN

Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season is here, and league insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano are here to break down the biggest questions, latest news and notable buzz of the week. Plus, they pick out which teams are on upset watch and which players should — or shouldn't — be in your fantasy football lineups.

With many of the AFC's preseason favorites struggling in the early going, who is the best team in the conference? Do the Chiefs and/or Bills still hold that title, or is another franchise on the rise? Which quarterback situations have been the most surprising through two weeks, for better or worse? And which rookies have made the biggest impact so far?

It's all here, as Dan and Jeremy answer big questions and empty their reporting notebooks with everything they've heard heading into Week 3.

Graziano: I still think it'll be the Chiefs by the end of the season, but based on what we've seen so far, it has to be the Dolphins right now. They won one game in a shootout with the Chargers, with receiver Tyreek Hill going off for 215 yards and a pair of TDs. They won another in a tight, divisional slugfest with the Patriots, leaning on running back Raheem Mostert (121 yards and two scores). The defense looked a lot better in Week 2, too. Miami has all the pieces, and if new coordinator Vic Fangio really has fixed things on the defensive side, the Dolphins are not going away any time soon.

Fowler: Miami's roster is loaded, and the Dolphins have a serious case, Dan. But I'm still riding with the Bills — it's time to break through. The ugly Week 1 loss to the Jets was an outlier. Quarterback Josh Allen threw that game away by himself.
