Week 3 of the 2025-26 NFL season continues with a great Sunday Night Football matchup between the New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs. There are far more ways to get involved in the action than just via traditional betting. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this season is Pick6 Fantasy Football!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for Sunday Night Football.
Malik Nabers More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving TDs
Malik Nabers has picked up where he left off after his incredible rookie season. Nabers finished seventh in the NFL in receiving yards despite only playing 15 games in his rookie season. Through two games this season, Nabers leads the NFL in receiving yards. He has linked up great with his new quarterback, with 14 catches for 238 yards and two scores after two weeks with Russell Wilson. Wilson might not be as efficient as he was in the prime of his career, but he can still hit the deep ball as well as anyone in the NFL. He has found Nabers on deep shots, including a 48-yarder against Dallas last week. The Chiefs’ defense has not been great to start the season, ranking 25th in defensive EPA/dropback this season. Justin Herbert threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns against them in Week 1. The Giants should throw on them and find success, which often leads to a Malik Nabers touchdown.
Russell Wilson More Than 226.5 Passing Yards
Russell Wilson has gotten off to a strong start, at least statistically, with the Giants. New York is 0-2, but it put up a great fight against the Cowboys last week. In that overtime loss, Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns. The Giants have some major issues in their secondary. However, that has led to the Giants getting more possessions and being forced into a pass-heavy game script to keep up. Wilson has 77 pass attempts this season, the fifth-most in the NFL among quarterbacks with two starts. The Chiefs rank 25th in defensive EPA/dropback, while the Giants rank 13th in offensive EPA/dropback. Wilson wants to hit deep shots, ranking third in the NFL in air yards per pass. He should be able to hit some deep shots and get over this number against the Chiefs.
Isiah Pacheco Less Than 40.5 Rushing Yards
Isiah Pacheco has not been the same back since his injury last season. After two strong seasons to start his career, he suffered an injury last season that caused him to play in only seven regular-season games. He played in 10 total games after his injury, including the postseason and the start of this season. In those 10 games, Pacheco is averaging just 25.9 rushing yards per game. Kareem Hunt has taken a big share of the carries, both last season and this season, but Pacheco also seems to have no burst in his carries. Patrick Mahomes is by far the Chiefs’ leading rusher this season, with neither Pacheco nor Hunt able to get anything going on the ground. The Giants have a great defensive line, but a struggling secondary. The Chiefs should focus on the passing game, limiting Pacheco’s touches. That should keep him under this number for the third straight game to start the season.
