Week 3 of the 2025 fantasy football season brings us a Sunday Night Football matchup between the New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs. Both teams are still searching for their first win of the season, making this game crucial for their early-season success. As we look ahead to this showdown, let’s analyze some potential start ’em and sit ’em picks for fantasy football managers.
The New York Giants’ offense has seen a significant boost since acquiring Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback in the offseason. This has translated into increased fantasy production for their wide receivers, particularly Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson. Nabers has been a standout performer and is proving himself as one of the top fantasy players in the league. Meanwhile, Robinson has shown improvement and is a solid option for fantasy lineups in Week 3.
On the other side, the Kansas City Chiefs have struggled offensively, mainly due to the absence of their top wide receivers, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. Additionally, their running game has been lackluster, with Isiah Pacheco failing to live up to expectations. Pacheco, who suffered a leg injury last season, has yet to regain his previous form and should be avoided in fantasy lineups until he proves otherwise.
In terms of the running back situation for the Giants, Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been the featured back but saw limited carries in the previous game. Rookie Cam Skattebo has emerged as a potential replacement, receiving more carries and making Tracy a risky play for Week 3.
Here are some must-start and must-sit picks for the Giants vs. Chiefs matchup:
