NFL Week 3 buzz: What we're hearing on the Giants, Mahomes' early play, RB situations and more. We're onto Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season, and insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano have been making calls to sources around the league for the latest news and notable buzz.

There was optimism around the Giants coming into Week 2, but things went south quickly Monday night. They lost their quarterback Jaxson Dart on the first drive and lost the game in a 28-6 blowout. They had designed a game plan around Dart's mobility, but had to play Jameis Winston. They believe Winston will be better with a full week of practice. The Dart injury has turned out to be more serious than they believed.

On the other end, the Chiefs moved to 2-0 with Patrick Mahomes back from last season's torn ACL. Around the league, we have a sample size to draw conclusions. Which previously uncertain running back hierarchies are getting clarity? It's all here, as Jeremy and Dan answer big questions, hand out useful fantasy football nuggets and empty their reporting notebooks heading into Week 3.
