For Week 3's Sunday Night Football showdown, fantasy football managers face important decisions for the Los Angeles Rams versus Denver Broncos game. While top players like Davante Adams and Kyren Williams are clear starters, the focus shifts to other key contributors. Tight end Terrance Ferguson emerges as a strong start option, particularly if Puka Nacua remains sidelined due to injury. Ferguson’s impressive 17.4-point performance and increased target share in Week 2 suggest he could continue to see a significant role in the Rams’ offense.

The Rams' defense and special teams unit (DST) also present a promising fantasy option. Despite missing Myles Garrett, the team still benefits from the presence of Aaron Donald, who is improving as he returns to form. With the Broncos ranking as the 10th most generous team to fantasy defenses this season, starting the Rams DST is a solid play, especially for those already rostering them. The matchup favors the Rams defense against a Broncos offense that has struggled to limit opposing defenses' production.

On the other side, Broncos running back Blake Corum is recommended as a sit for Week 3. The expectation is that the game will likely be competitive, limiting Corum’s opportunity for a volume spike. His inconsistent performance so far, with no back-to-back double-digit point games this year, lowers his fantasy appeal for this matchup. Managers are advised to look elsewhere for their running back choices.

Wide receiver Courtland Sutton is another player to bench for Week 3. At 30 years old, Sutton has had a disappointing start with fewer than six fantasy points in each of the first two weeks. His limited target volume and minimal upside, combined with only one season since 2020 averaging over 13.5 points per game, diminish his value. Given these factors, holding Sutton on the bench against the Rams is the sensible fantasy football decision.
