NFL Week 3: Key Trends, Surprises, Bets, and Key Fantasy Players

2025 NFL Week 3 Analysis

Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season is here and at Alofoke Deportes we have you covered! Get ready for a weekend full of action with expert analysis and the latest trends. Our team of sports analysts has prepared a complete guide for this week, covering the key points that could define the results of the matches.

Key Statistical Trends

Seth Walder, our analytics analyst, reveals the trends that could be decisive in this game. An important focus is the performance of the Steelers’ pass rushers, T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig, against the Patriots. Watt, with a pass-win rate of only 7%, will look to bounce back against Morgan Moses, Patriots offensive tackle. On the other hand, Herbig could have a crucial role, especially in the absence of Alex Highsmith. Another key point is the protection of the Bengals’ pass for Jake Browning, after Joe Burrow’s injury. Will the team’s protection improve with Browning on the field? Finally, it is analyzed how the Chiefs could exploit the Giants’ defense by using Hollywood Brown in the slot, a vulnerable area for the New Yorkers.

Fantasy Revelation Players

Eric Moody, our fantasy football expert, presents five players who could surprise and be key in your fantasy teams.

• Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars (44.9% rostered)
• Troy Franklin, WR, Denver Broncos (27.4% rostered)
• Romeo Doubs, WR, Green Bay Packers (26.5% rostered)
• Elic Ayomanor, WR, Tennessee Titans (14.3% rostered)
• Jake Browning, QB, Cincinnati Bengals (6.3% rostered)

These players, with low possession percentage, could be the key to winning in your fantasy leagues. Moody highlights the potential of Tuten, Franklin, Doubs, Ayomanor, and Browning for this week.
