Fantasy Football WR Rankings Week 3 Who to start best sleepers a

  • We've already reached Week 3, and having a second data point at our disposal is an added bonus.While it's still early to draw concrete conclusions, we're gaining insights into how each team is Bob Pollard Jersey utilizing its wide receiver corps, helping us shape our Week 3 fantasy WR rankings for standard leagues.Beyond your set-and-forget fantasy studs, the eternal struggle for fantasy owners lies in choosing those fringe wide receivers. Do you ride the wave of red-hot rookies like Tank Dell, Jayden Reed, and Marvin Mims, fresh off breakout performances, or do you opt for a safer play with le s flashy wide receivers in favorable matchups, such as Rashod Bateman (vs. Colts) Christian Kirk (vs.Texans), or Skyy Moore (vs. Bears)?Before deciding which bubble WR to start, make use of our Week 3 WR rankings for standard leagues to a sist in your decision-making proce s.MORE: In what should be another offensive-centric game to the delight of fantasy owners, Justin Jefferson (vs. Chargers) sits atop our Week 3 WR rankings. Tyreek Hill (vs. Broncos) isnt far behind at No. 2, but there's a chance he's held in check for his standards against lockdown corner Patrick Surtain II.WEEK 3 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | We havent given up on JaMarr Chase (vs. Rams) just yet as a top-eight WR, as Week 3 looks to be his breakout week in a favorable matchup against an exploitable Rams secondary. We saw Tee Higgins get going last week, and it's only a matter of time before Chase gets his.UPDATE:With Joe Burrow's calf injury, Chase's Week 3 fantasy outlook takes a hit should backup QB Jake Browning get the start on Monday night. Chase still remains a must-start regardle s of who is under center, but his ceiling is undoubtedly capped should Browning start.CeeDee Lamb (@ Cardinals) should feast against a subpar Cardinals defense, while Amon-Ra St. Brown (vs. Falcons) is always a safe bet to end the week with a top-10 fantasy point output among WRs as long as he stays healthy.WEEK 3 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Detroits Josh Reynolds (vs. Falcons) looks like the teams No. 2 wideout behind St. Brown, as the veteran wideout is a prime sleeper candidate moving forward, especially after his five-catch, 66-yard, two-touchdown effort Andrus Peat Jersey against Seattle.While the potential return of fellow WR Christian Watson (hamstring) lowers his ceiling, Packers rookie Jayden Reed (vs. Saints) is worthy of a waiver claim, as hes logged a high snap share through his first two weeks as a pro and turned that into a four-catch, 37-yard, two TD effort against Atlanta. All of Green Bay's WRs will be tough to start in this matchup, but Watson always has a high ceiling when he's active.Texans rookie Tank Dell (@ Jaguars) is a trusted option of C.J. Strouds, and in a Houston offense thats going to pa s at a high rate in negative game scripts, Dell has major WR3/flex appeal.Other Week 3 waiver wire additions and sleepers include Josh Downs (@ Ravens), Marvin Mims (@ Dolphins), Tutu Atwell (@ Bengals), Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore (vs. Bears), and Adam Thielen (@ Seahawks). Atwell and Moore are our favorites, but Toney has some appeal in deep leagues, too.WEEK 3 FANTASY: | | Among WRs on the start/sit bubble, we'd probably pa s on starting Marquise Brown (vs. Cowboys), Treylon Burks (@ Browns), Romeo Doubs (vs. Saints), Rashid Shaheed (@ Packers), Allen Lazard (vs. Patriots), and JuJu Smith-Schuster (@ Jets) this week.Although Brown could see a high target share in a potential negative game script, the Cowboys' secondary is not a unit we want to face, ending Week 1 allowing the lowest dropback EPA () before dominating the Jets outside of a busted coverage. While the elements played a factor in Cleveland's' Week 1 output, the Browns' defense surrendered the lowest dropback succe s rate (), consistently keeping the Bengals offense off-schedule. We could see more of the same against Tenne see in Week 3, thus limiting Burks and maybe even the disappointing (and banged-up) DeAndre Hopkins.Doubs, Shaheed, Lazard, and Smith-Schuster also draw tough matchups against the league's better pa s defenses, potentially leading to some "bust" performances this week. In Doubs' case, it also doesn't help that Christian Watson (hamstring) will likely make his season debut, cutting into his target share.WEEK 3 DFS: | | | We didn't see Watson (hamstring), Diontae Johnson (hamstring), Brandin Cooks (knee), and Alvin Kamara Jersey Jakobi Meyers (head) suit up in Week 2, but we expect Watson to make his season debut this week. That said, we've only left Johnson out of our Week 3 list but will update our rankings accordingly throughout the week.As for new injuries to watch out for, we saw Davante Adams (head), Jaylen Waddle (head), Garrett Wilson (undisclosed), Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle), and Darnell Mooney (knee) exit their respective contests and fail to return to game action. We've kept Adams, Waddle, Wilson, and Mooney in our Week 3 rankings as there's a chance these wideouts suit up this week, but took out Beckham, as he's officially been ruled out.As usual, we'll update these standard WR rankings throughout the week, so check back for the latest player movement and analysis.Rank Player1 Justin Jefferson, Vikings vs. Chargers2 Tyreek Hill, Dolphins vs. Broncos3 Stefon Diggs, Bills @ Commanders4 Davante Adams, Raiders vs. Steelers5 CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys @ Cardinals6 Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions vs. Falcons7 A.J.
