Week 3 NFL matchups present several 'funnel defenses' – teams unusually vulnerable to either rushing or passing attacks. The Pittsburgh Steelers' weak run defense makes New England's Rhamondre Stevenson a strong fantasy option. The Chicago Bears' porous run defense favors Dallas' Javonte Williams. Conversely, the New Orleans Saints' weak pass defense boosts the fantasy potential of Seattle's receivers and potentially San Francisco's Mac Jones, while Arizona's strong run defense suggests more passing plays for the 49ers.
