Nothing will shuffle Fantasy football rankings quite like injuries, and there were numerous last Sunday which could affect your Week 3 Fantasy football lineups. Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart all went down, while offensive weapons like J.K. Dobbins, Alec Pierce, Jayden Reed and Dallas Goedert are expected to miss time. Thus, some of your Week 3 Fantasy football picks may have to turn to the depth you accumulated during drafts, or you'll have to turn to the waiver wire for viable replacements.
Seattle RB Emanuel Wilson had a 92-yard game on Sunday, while Browns rookie Denzel Boston posted a 5-95-1 stat line. Furthermore, the QB position could welcome back Sam Darnold and Kyler Murray to help offset those signal callers injured in Week 2. Other players like Nico Collins (hamstring), Rico Dowdle (toe) and Puka Nacua (hip) have uncertain statuses for Week 3.
Before setting your Week 3 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: Jags wideout Parker Washington And a massive shocker: Vikings running back Aaron Jones, who had 105 yards last week with Jordan Mason (thumb) on IR, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top 25 at his position! He's a player to fade this week in a tough matchup against Tampa.
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.
