Kansas City, MO, September 22, 2026 —

As the National Football League (NFL) season progresses into its third week, fantasy football players are seeking strategic guidance to optimize their lineups. A recent analysis by kansascity.com has identified several defensive units that fantasy managers are being advised to consider benching for Week 3 matchups.

The publication highlights the Dallas Cowboys defense as one of the teams recommended for fantasy managers to potentially leave out of their starting lineups this week. While the specific reasons or matchups influencing this recommendation are not detailed in the summary, the advice suggests a potential challenge or unfavorable matchup for the Cowboys’ defense in the upcoming games.

In addition to the Dallas Cowboys, the report from kansascity.com indicates that three other defenses are also on the list of units players are being advised to bench. The identity of these additional defenses and the rationale behind their inclusion on the bench list were not provided in the summary.

Fantasy football strategy often involves analyzing upcoming opponent offenses, recent defensive performance, and player availability when making roster decisions. Defenses can be valuable fantasy assets, but their performance can fluctuate significantly based on game circumstances, including the strength of the opposing team’s offense, injuries to key defensive players, or changes in coaching strategy. The advice from kansascity.com appears to be a reaction to these dynamic factors as the league enters Week 3 of its schedule.

Fantasy managers typically weigh such advice against their own team’s depth and individual matchup data to make informed decisions. The specific details regarding the opponents, performance metrics, or any other supporting data for these recommendations were not specified in the provided trend summary.
