Fantasy football rankings: 2025 NFL Week 3 projections from proven model that outperformed experts

The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has locked in its Week 3 Fantasy football rankings

ByPublished: Sep 21, 2025 3:23PM UTC . 3 min read

The Week 3 Fantasy football rankings have been shuffled a bit at the quarterback position thanks to the various injuries suffered last week. Joe Burrow, J.J. McCarthy, Justin Fields and Jayden Daniels all went down, and all have now been ruled out for Week 3.

Not only do you have to account for their absences when setting Week 3 Fantasy football lineups, but you also have to keep in mind the ripple effect for their teammates. Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Tee Higgins and Deebo Samuel may not be as appealing as Week 3 Fantasy football picks as before, while receivers who play with non-injured QBs suddenly become interesting Fantasy football start-sit decisions.

Troy Franklin, Quentin Johnston and Wan'Dale Robinson have all exceeded expectations thus far in the young season and have produced as top-15 wideouts thus far. Should any of them factor into your Week 3 Fantasy football strategy?

Before setting your Fantasy football lineups, you NEED to see the Week 3 Fantasy football rankings from SportsLine's advanced computer model. 

When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts for the past several seasons, especially when there were big differences in ranking! That could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.

Now the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its latest Week 3 Fantasy football rankings.

One player the model is high on this week: Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze. And a massive shocker: Saints running back Alvin Kamara, a five-time Pro Bowler coming off 120 scrimmage yards in Week 2, has a tough matchup in Week 3 and doesn't even crack the top 20 at his position! He's a player to fade this week.

The model is also calling for a SHOCKING quarterback you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 5 of its Week 3 Fantasy football rankings! This pick could be the difference between winning BIG and going home with nothing. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your lineups.
