Week 2 Sleeper Results I was correct for CAR, NYJ, Carlson and Shrader. Hopefully, I will be accurate with all of my Sleeper DEF & K predictions this week.

Week 3 Sleeper Defenses TEN - If Winston plays, he should have at least one to two turnovers & Robert Saleh usually has solid defenses. DAL - The Ravens are overrated & DAL plays better at home. NO - Home Opener against overachieving LV after containing Henry to 68 yards.

Week 3 Sleeper Kicker Selections Nick Folk - First game with a QB1. Chris Boswell - PIT plays better at home and is CIN defense really Top 12? Will Reichard - Kyler starts & weather report in Tampa looks promising. Daniel Carlson - Home opener for NO and averages 2.5 FGA/G.

COLSTON LOVELAND APOLOGY In my draft strategy, I suggested to draft McBride or Loveland in the 3rd round. Never in a million years would I have predicted Ben Johnson would choose to practically ignore his best receiving TE for the first 2 games of the season. It is ridiculous.

FYI Dr. Cal Farquart is not my real name. It is just a front that was originally created to post "Farquart Facts". Now, it just is what it is. The truth is still that the stats and facts usually clarify what is valid, accurate and dependable.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 4 NFC SOUTH 1. Panthers 2. Saints 3. Falcons 4. Buccaneers TB & Baker Mayfield have barely won the division with a 9-8 record, 2 of the last 3 seasons. The division has improved. Lost M. Evans & R. White in FA. DEF is improved. OFF possibly is not.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 3 NFC SOUTH 1. Panthers 2. Saints 3. Falcons 4. Buccaneers New HC Kevin Stefanski won COY twice in CLE when he was not expected to win. OFF has strong skill position players regardless who is QB1. DEF remains strong despite losing Walker and Pearce Jr.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 2 NFC SOUTH 1. Panthers 2. Saints 3. Falcons 4. Buccaneers Tyler Shough played very well with a limited supporting cast at WR in 2025. Added Travis Etienne Jr. in FA. The 16th DEF has one new starter in FA with added depth for possible improvement.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 1 NFC SOUTH 1. Panthers 2. Saints 3. Falcons 4. Buccaneers The Panthers solidified themselves as #1 in the South in 2025. The DEF was Top 10 over their last 9 games & Coker proved to be a reliable WR2. 4 new DEF starters with added depth in the draft.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 4 NFC NORTH 1. Vikings 2. Lions 3. Bears 4. Packers Packers lose Rashan Gary & DC Jeff Hafley. Parsons is out for 5+ games & Jacobs is out for at least half the season. Jordan Love not as effective as he was in 2023. Tough division. Not optimistic.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 3 NFC NORTH 1. Vikings 2. Lions 3. Bears 4. Packers The Bears lost 19 INT, 11 Sacks & 5 FF on defense this off-season. No improvement at DE. Limited depth on DEF is concerning. Can Bears rely on TO's again? Offense without DJ should remain effective.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 2 NFC NORTH 1. Vikings 2. Lions 3. Bears 4. Packers The Lions just need a defense to support their strong offense. Drew Petzing should help OFF to stay Top 10. 4 new defensive starters with added depth could help Aidan Hutchinson & their overall cause.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 1 NFC NORTH 1. Vikings 2. Lions 3. Bears 4. Packers The Vikings almost won the division in 2025 with scrutiny at QB. The defense remains strong with added depth. Kyler Murray gets a fresh start with strong WR's & KOC who historically boosts vet QB's.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 4 NFC WEST 1. Niners 2. Rams 3. Cardinals 4. Seahawks SEA has a tougher schedule. Darnold's health is in question and the RB's may not be as strong as they were in 2025. A new rookie OC has a large task at hand. The DEF is great. The OFF may not be.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 3 NFC WEST 1. Niners 2. Rams 3. Cardinals 4. Seahawks The Cardinals have one of the most talented offensive teams outside of QB. Brissett is serviceable until Beck is ready. The defense gave up on Gannon & should be more effective this season. New HC.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 2 NFC WEST 1. Niners 2. Rams 3. Cardinals 4. Seahawks On paper, the Rams are arguably the best team in the NFL. Jared Verse may be more versatile than Garrett. DEF fell off at end of 2025. Weak WR depth. Stafford has hot and cold seasons.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 1 NFC WEST 1. Niners 2. Rams 3. Cardinals 4. Seahawks A healthy Niners on OFF & DEF makes them the best team. Shanahan gets more out of his players & than most coaches. More depth at RB & multiple defensive positions. WR's productive if healthy.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 4 NFC EAST 1. Cowboys 2. Giants 3. Commanders 4. Eagles Losing AJ Brown possibly leaves the Eagles with an undermined WR Depth Chart. The defense remains strong. This prediction of 4th place may appear outlandish but the division is stronger in 2026.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 3 NFC EAST 1. Cowboys 2. Giants 3. Commanders 4. Eagles Jayden Daniels intends to prove 2024 wasn't a fluke with a new OC & upgraded WR Room. New OC David Blough is installing a fresh high-tempo scheme. The DEF has 7 new starters & added depth in 2026.

DR. FARQUART RATIONALE 2 NFC EAST 1. Cowboys 2. Giants 3. Commanders 4. Eagles Harbaugh's presence boosts a strong Giants' team. Dart, Skattebo & Nabers need to be healthy. Obvious. The Giants' DEF on paper is strong. Dennard may finally get them playing at Top 12 level.
