2025-2026 NFL Week 3: Data Summary

Hello everyone!

Week 3 of the 2025-2026 NFL Season is in the books it will be known as the week of blocked kicks! Some huge blocked kicks at the end of the game impacted Eagles/Rams, Browns/Packers, and Jets/Bucs. We really should get a blocked field goal SmashCard! Those playing Goal in One would’ve had some great bonuses - especially if you picked the MIN D/ST. A few surprises stood out - with CeeDee Lamb being the 3rd highest picked player. Injuries are always terrible and CeeDee going out so early really puts a damper on those teams. The top picked TE was Juwan Johnson who is making his debut on the most picked player list ever. Wide Receivers in general was pretty different this week as 4 of the 5 picks were different from last week. WR mainstays like Ja’Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, and Justin Jefferson all dropped out of the top 5 in popularity.

Here is the Week 3 data including the most picked players by position, the most played cards, and the most popular combos. These are not in terms of points but in terms of popularity of picks. Without further ado, here are the stats for the players by position.
