Week 3 of the NFL season is here, and so is another round of fantasy football. While setting your lineup, you should take a look at these favorable matchups.

Week 2 came and went, and fantasy managers are either on top of the world or feeling like their season is over. It happens to the best of us. However, it’s only Week 3, and there’s a lot of football left.

Let’s start the week off right by looking at favorable matchups that you should exploit in your fantasy leagues.

Five best fantasy football matchups for Week 3

5. QB Jalen Hurts vs. the Dallas Cowboys

Jalen Hurts has been nothing short of productive in his first two games of the 2021 season. He’s put together back to back top-10 games, partly due to his big play ability and rushing threat.

The Cowboys are an obvious smash spot for Hurts, as they often find themselves in shootouts due to their lackluster defense and high-powered offense. We’ve seen this in both their Week 1 and Week 2 matchups already, which is a telling sign for how fantasy players will perform against this team.

Expect nothing less than an offensive firework display in this game, which should benefit Hurts heavily and make him a top-five quarterback play and a DFS bargain.
