Top NFL DFS Picks for Week 3
Travis Kelce – Kelce was limited in his season debut, but was still able to find the end zone. He remains the clear cut top TE in fantasy, especially as we expect his snap counts to trend more towards a normal number here this week.
Tony Pollard – Pollard has seen elite usage so far this season, and he has capitalized on it, turning in back-to-back strong showings to start the season. He now gets his best matchup of the year as the Cowboys face the Cardinals
Stefon Diggs – Diggs may get a bit overshadowed this week with Tyreek Hill and Justin Jefferson looking like elite plays, but Diggs is the top option by far in a high-powered Buffalo offense.
