Week 3 Start ‘Em: Defenses
Start of the Week
Eagles D/ST at Commanders (1 p.m. ET, Fox): The Commanders are scoring a ton of points on offense, but Carson Wentz has also been known to turn the ball over. He already has three interceptions, and the team has four giveaways overall. The Eagles will also be looking to exact some revenge on their former quarterback.
Start ‘Em
Cowboys D/ST at Giants (Mon. 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN): The loss of Dak Prescott has hurt the Cowboys offense, but their defense is still one of the top units in the NFL and fantasy football. The Giants offense doesn’t have a top-flight talent aside from Saquon Barkley, and Daniel Jones has been known to turn the football over.

DFS Bargains
• Falcons D/ST at Seahawks ($2,700)
• Panthers D/ST vs. Saints ($2,600)
Sit of the Week
Patriots D/ST vs. Ravens (1 p.m. ET, Fox): New England’s defense is coming off an eight-point performance last week, but I’m sitting this regressing unit against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Defenses have recorded just one giveaway, two sacks and they have scored the third-fewest fantasy points against Baltimore.
Sit ‘Em
Broncos D/ST vs. 49ers (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC): The Broncos defense produced seven fantasy points last week, but I’d beware this unit against Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers. Defenses have produced just three sacks and forced two giveaways (two sacks and both giveaways were in a rainstorm in Week 1) against the Niners.
