Chris Welsh, Andrew Erickson and Pat Fitzmaurice are back on the Tailgate to sort through a chaotic start to NFL Week 3, from quarterback questions in New York to major injuries affecting the Broncos, Rams and Vikings.
Then it’s on to the games that matter, including Bengals-Steelers, Patriots-Jaguars, Ravens-Cowboys in Rio, Rams-Broncos and the Monday night matchup between the Eagles and Bears.
The crew finishes with their biggest Week 3 calls, including a monster Patrick Mahomes prediction, a potential Drake Maye bounce-back and the teams that simply cannot afford to fall to 0-3.

Chris Welsh and Andrew Erickson sort through an ugly wave of NFL injuries heading into Week 3, beginning with Aaron Jones’ knee issue and what Minnesota’s backfield could look like if he can’t go.
The Giants are dealing with an even bigger blow after Jackson Dart’s season-ending injury, leaving Jameis Winston in charge of an offense that suddenly has a lot more uncertainty. Welsh and Erickson also tackle Jonathan Brooks heading back to IR and what that means for Carolina’s backfield.
The show wraps with more injury fallout around Alec Pierce and the Colts, Chicago’s unsettled quarterback situation against Philadelphia, and live fantasy questions covering Week 3 starts, stashes, trades and Quinshon Judkins’ breakout opportunity.

Chris Welsh and Andrew Erickson answer fantasy football trade questions heading into Week 3, with running back depth creating some of the toughest decisions. Omarion Hampton becomes a recurring topic as they weigh what he can return in a deal and when moving him actually makes a roster better.
There are also some intriguing buy-low opportunities on the board. Colston Loveland remains a target despite the slow start, while Chase Brown keeps coming up as a running back worth pursuing before his schedule opens up.
Welsh and Erickson work through the kinds of trades fantasy managers are actually seeing right now. If your roster already needs some work, this is a good place to figure out which move is worth making, and which one you’re better off leaving alone.
