What the early NFL Week 3 games tell Fantasy Football GMs — why is Drake Maye so BAD this season?

The Audible recaps the Week 3 early games, and Sunday afternoon delivered plenty of fantasy‑relevant chaos.

The Bills rolled over the Chargers, handing Los Angeles an 0–3 start and raising real questions about what's gone wrong with Justin Herbert, the offensive structure, and the team's overall direction. Buffalo's offense continues to look unstoppable — and fantasy managers are reaping the rewards.

The Patriots offense is in trouble, and Drake Maye is playing bad football right now. The timing is off, the reads are late, and the explosive plays just aren't there. We break down what's fixable… and what isn't.

And somehow, Washington managed to win with Marcus Mariota at quarterback. How did they pull it off. What did the offense do to stay afloat. And what does it mean for fantasy managers trying to navigate early‑season injuries and lineup uncertainty.

We hit all the major storylines, fantasy takeaways, and what these early games mean heading into Week 4.
