2026 NFL Week 3 Game of Fantasy Points: Eagles at Bears!

Week 3 was a wild one for fantasy football! The Monday Night Football game for 2026 NFL Week 3 Game of Fantasy Points gave us a ton of questions. The Philadelphia Eagles traveled to Chicago to take on the Bears.

My schedule has me struggling a bit to catch up, but we’ve got this week’s “Game of Fantasy Points” off the press! NFL Week 3’s slate ended with more injuries, and the Bears spanked the Eagles, 27-7. Despite Case Keenum filling in for Caleb Williams, the Bears, led by Kalif Raymond, were too much for the Eagles’ defense. Jahmyr Gibbs was King of the Week with 41.4 points. Gibbs was one of 3 players to score 35+ points this week (Bijan Robinson at 35.3 & Jaxon Smith-Njigba at 35.4).

Notes from the Highest Projected Games

On Sunday, Tight Ends reigned supreme. They scored 21 touchdowns, blazing past the former single-day record of 16 set on National Tight End Day in 2024 (10/28/2024). As mentioned earlier, Jahmyr Gibbs was the King of Fantasy Points for week 3, as he scored 41.4 points on Sunday. Jaxon Smith-Njigba again paced WRs and looks like he’s running away with OPOY. Our highest projected Clutch Games rankings this week were almost on point again; we were 3 out of 4.

All four games were in the top 5 for game point totals, and perhaps TE isn’t the wasteland it has been. This week, 5 QBs, 2 RBs, 4 WRs, and 2 TEs scored 25+ fantasy points.

Featured the QB1 (Purdy), QB2 (Darnold), QB3 (Smith), QB4 (Brissett), RB1 (Gibbs), T-RB3 (Henry & Love), RB6 (McCaffrey), WR1 (Smith-Njigba), WR3 (G. Wilson), WR4 (M. Wilson), WR11 (Lamb), WR4 (St. Brown), TE2 (Kittle), TE4 (Sadiq), TE8 (McBride), and TE9 (Ruckert)

NFL Week 2 Monday Night Football, Giants at Rams (28-6, Rams)

Monday’s game featured the Eagles versus the Bears in Soldier Field. This game further muddied the waters in the already murky NFC. The Eagles are long-considered contenders, and the Bears are 2 weeks from scoring 50+ points. Chicago, despite missing their starting QB, Caleb Williams, controlled this game from the start. Veteran Case Keenum picked Philadelphia apart on his way to 247 passing yards and 2 touchdowns.

We’re into October now, so keep an eye on the consistency trends as they begin to shape the fantasy football season. CONSISTENCY IS KING!
