Week 3 of the NFL season sets up to be another great one, stuffed with some juicy matchups at multiple positions. As you get your fantasy team ready for the coming week with all 32 teams in action, you’ll be faced with some tough lineup decisions. As you decide who deserves a spot in your lineup, check out my top 30 WR rankings for Week 3.
With a couple of weeks of results to break down, we’re starting to get an idea of what to expect from most offenses. However, a few teams suffered major injuries that could definitely change the trajectory of their seasons. The most obvious one impacts the best WR matchup on the board. Ja’Marr Chase (39.5 PTS) had a huge week, but he and Tee Higgins (14.6 FPTS) likely lost their starting quarterback for the foreseeable future.
Chase’s big game made him the third-best receiver on the leaderboard on Sunday, with Amon-Ra St. Brown (42.2 PTS) claiming the top spot and Malik Nabers (40.7 FPTS) close behind. Just behind Chase, Rome Odunze (34.8 FPTS) and Wan’Dale Robinson (31.2 FPTS) rounded out the top five with teammates Puka Nacua (27.6 FPTS) and Davante Adams (25.6 FPTS) both posting over 25 fantasy points as well.
In Week 3, we can expect more volatility as teams adjust to matchups and performances, and some teams have to deal with new injuries to overcome.
Since these rankings come out on Monday, be sure to check back throughout the week on DK Network for coverage of any adjustments that need to be made.
