Fantasy Player Rankings Week 3 / Sports Illustrated

The second week of the fantasy football season has come and gone, and with it, we’ve seen trades, depth chart changes and numerous injuries … especially at the quarterback spot where we will have multiple backups pushed into starting roles this week.

Fantasy managers will also have to deal with several changing backfield rotations around the NFL, questions about rookie runners (Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton) and if we now believe in Daniel Jones. With that said, here are my fantasy player rankings for Week 3.

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
