Final week I began off my weekly rankings by complaining about accidents. That appears very foolish now contemplating the demolition derby we have been topic to in Week 2. Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley and Courtland Sutton, simply to call just a few, all suffered important illnesses.
In case your group isn’t attempting to beat a major damage, you’re a part of a fortunate few. Hopefully come this time subsequent week we’ll be speaking extra about what went down as a substitute of who.
Under are my half-point PPR fantasy soccer rankings for Week 3.
1. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (vs. Kansas Metropolis Chiefs)
2. Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals (vs. Detroit Lions)
Though his passing numbers are stable, Murray has been making his mark felt on the bottom in fantasy soccer. Via two weeks, Murray leads all QBs in dashing yards (158) and is tied for second in dashing touchdowns (3). The matchup towards the Lions, who can be with out CB Justin Coleman and could also be with out CB Desmond Trufant, may be very exploitable.
3. Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks (vs. Dallas Cowboys)
4. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (at Seattle Seahawks)
5. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (at Baltimore Ravens)
In case you chosen Mahomes throughout the first three rounds of your fantasy draft, you’re not upset about his manufacturing to date, however you’re doubtless not thrilled both. Via Week 2, Mahomes is QB8 however has didn’t crack the top-5 on the place in both week. This matchup towards the suffocating Ravens secondary isn’t an awesome spot for him to go off. Baltimore has allowed simply 5.6 yards per move try so far whereas surrendering simply two passing touchdowns. You’re beginning him although as a result of he’s Patrick Mahomes.
6. Cam Newton, New England Patriots (vs. Las Vegas Raiders)
7. Josh Allen, Buffalo Payments (vs. Los Angeles Rams)
8. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons (vs. Chicago Bears)
9. Matt Stafford, Detroit Lions (at Arizona Cardinals)
The Stafford we’ve seen by means of the primary two weeks isn’t the one we noticed final season. Each his supposed air yards and aggressiveness proportion have taken noticeable dips within the early going. I anticipate that to vary in Week Three with the doable return of star WR Kenny Golladay. In eight video games with Golladay final season, Stafford topped eight yards per try seven occasions. He’s but to achieve that mark this season.
10. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs. Houston Texans)
11. Gardner Minshew, Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. Miami Dolphins)
#MinshewMania is operating wild over the NFL and there’s nothing you are able to do to cease it. He’s fantasy soccer’s QB9 and has a superb matchup towards the Dolphins on Thursday. Miami conceded a QB6 end to Cam Newton in Week 1 and a QB3 efficiency to Josh Allen in Week 2. In case you’re in search of a streaming possibility (32% rostered on Yahoo), he’s the man.
12. Carson Wentz, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. Cincinnati Bengals)
After a pair of poor performances for Wentz, that is it. With the intention to regain the belief of fantasy soccer managers, he should put collectively a stable exhibiting towards the Bengals. Via two weeks, he owns the second-worst passer score within the NFL (64.4). It’s dangerous information that he’ll reportedly be with out WR Jalen Reagor for 6-Eight weeks, however he has to do one thing towards a Cincinnati secondary that ranked 17th in response to Professional Soccer Focus coming into this season.
13. Aaron Rodgers, Inexperienced Bay Packers (at New Orleans Saints)
14. Deshaun Watson, Houston Texans (at Pittsburgh Steelers)
15. Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans (at Minnesota Vikings)
16. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals (at Philadelphia Eagles)
17. Mitchell Trubisky, Chicago Bears (at Atlanta Falcons)
18. Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at Denver Broncos)
19. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints (vs. Inexperienced Bay Packers)
There’s no method to sugarcoat it: Brees appeared extraordinarily restricted towards the Raiders on Monday Night time Soccer. I perceive every little thing that occurs in a primetime sport is magnified, however his incapacity to stretch the sector shouldn’t be ignored. With out WR Michael Thomas, the right and seemingly irreplaceable complement to Brees’ sport, the Saints passing assault appeared damaged. Returning residence will assist, however the group should work out its woes throughout a shortened week of preparation.
20. Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams (at Buffalo Payments)
21. Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns (vs. Washington Soccer Staff)
22. Daniel Jones, New York Giants (vs. San Francisco 49ers)
23. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Miami Dolphins (at Jacksonville Jaguars)
24. Philip Rivers, Indianapolis Colts (vs. New York Jets)
25. Justin Herbert, Los Angles Chargers (vs. Carolina Panthers)
26. Nick Mullens, San Francisco 49ers (at New York Giants)
27. Teddy Bridgewater, Carolina Panthers (at Los Angeles Chargers)
28. Derek Carr, Las Vegas Raiders (at New England Patriots)
29. Dwayne Haskins, Washington Soccer Staff (at Cleveland Browns)
30. Sam Darnold, New York Jets (at Indianapolis Colts)
RB
1. Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints (vs. Inexperienced Bay Packers)
2. Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys (at Seattle Seahawks)
3. Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts (vs. New York Jets)
Taylor is firmly within the RB1 image coming into Week 3. Final week, Taylor appeared as much as the duty because the Colts’ lead again, dashing 26 occasions for 101 yards and a landing. He added a pair of receptions for 9 yards as nicely. Matching up towards the Jets is about pretty much as good because it will get. Opposing groups by means of two weeks have averaged 140 yards on the bottom towards New York, the eighth-highest whole within the league.
4. Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans (at Minnesota Vikings)
It’s arduous to complain an excessive amount of about Henry given the present standing of the operating again place, however fantasy managers haven’t gotten what they drafted. He’s averaged 3.6 yards per carry and regardless of main the NFL in red-zone carries (13), he’s but to punch one in. The spot towards the Vikings isn’t the best, as Minnesota’s rush protection is deceptively troublesome. The unit has appeared good whereas limiting the formidable Packers and Colts dashing assaults to simply 4.Three yards per try.
5. Dalvin Prepare dinner, Minnesota Vikings (vs. Tennessee Titans)
6. Aaron Jones, Inexperienced Bay Packers (at New Orleans Saints)
7. Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. Cincinnati Bengals)
8. Josh Jacobs, Las Vegas Raiders (at New England Patriots)
9. Kenyan Drake, Arizona Cardinals (vs. Detroit Lions)
In Week 2, the Lions had no reply for RB Aaron Jones who gashed the run protection for 168 yards and two touchdowns whereas including 68 extra yards and a TD by means of the air. Drake’s been hindered by QB Kyler Murray’s dashing work and RB Chase Edmonds’ position, however he shouldn’t want an excessive amount of quantity to have an awesome fantasy effort this weekend. The Lions-Cardinals matchup additionally has an over/underneath whole of 54.5, the second-highest whole on the board this week.
10. Austin Ekeler, Los Angeles Chargers (vs. Carolina Panthers)
11. James Conner, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs. Houston Texans)
Any fear about RB Benny Snell Jr. assuming a job on this offense was put to mattress final week. Conner out-touched Snell 18-4, clearly re-establishing himself because the lead again. Conner had efficiency which was boosted by a 59-yard scamper to shut out the sport. The Texans have allowed 5.6 dashing yards per try so far, the second-worst whole within the NFL.
12. Chris Carson, Seattle Seahawks (vs. Dallas Cowboys)
13. Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns (vs. Washington Soccer Staff)
14. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (at Baltimore Ravens)
With the Chiefs falling behind early to the Chargers, the sport script compelled Kansas Metropolis to desert the run. With that, Edwards-Helaire noticed simply 10 carries, a far cry from the 25 he acquired the earlier week. He did keep concerned within the passing sport, corralling six of his eight targets for 32 yards. He ought to see extra work in a troublesome matchup this week towards Baltimore.
15. Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals (at Philadelphia Eagles)
16. James Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. Miami Dolphins)
Meet the last word fantasy soccer sleeper. Robinson couldn’t be discovered on a single draft board earlier than the Jaguars dropped RB Leonard Fournette and depth backs like RB Devine Ozigbo and RB Ryquell Armstead missed time. Now, Robinson is dominating the touches, topping RB Chris Thompson 36-7. In opposition to a Dolphins run protection permitting 5.Zero yards per carry, he’s proper within the RB2 combine.
17. David Montgomery, Chicago Bears (at Atlanta Falcons)
18. David Johnson, Houston Texans (at Pittsburgh Steelers)
19. Melvin Gordon, Denver Broncos (vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
20. Leonard Fournette, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at Denver Broncos)
Fournette clearly established himself as the highest again on this Buccaneers’ backfield final week. After Ronald Jones “fumbled,” it was all Fournette, and he dominated the Panthers run protection. He completed with 103 yards and two scores on 12 carries whereas including 13 yards on 4 receptions.
21. Kareem Hunt, Cleveland Browns (vs. Washington Soccer Staff)
22. Joshua Kelley, Los Angeles Chargers (vs. Carolina Panthers)
23. Todd Gurley, Atlanta Falcons (vs. Chicago Bears)
24. Jerick McKinnon, San Francisco 49ers (at New York Giants)
McKinnon spent the previous two seasons on the sideline as a result of accidents, however the 28-year-old is doubtlessly strolling into a bigger alternative for the Niners of their Week Three date towards the Giants.
Each RB Raheem Mostert (knee) and RB Tevin Coleman (knee) are anticipated to overlook Sunday’s sport, doubtless giving McKinnon an expanded position on this run-first offense. He’s been very efficient in 2020, averaging 13.Four yards per contact on 9 touches.
25. Mark Ingram, Baltimore Ravens (vs. Kansas Metropolis Chiefs)
26. Mike Davis, Carolina Panthers (at Los Angeles Chargers)
27. Devin Singletary, Buffalo Payments (vs. Los Angeles Rams)
28. Myles Gaskin, Miami Dolphins (at Jacksonville Jaguars)
29. Antonio Gibson, Washington Soccer Groups (at Cleveland Browns)

Extra
WR
1. DeAndre Hopkins, Arizona Cardinals (vs. Detroit Lions)
2. Tyreek Hill, Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (at Baltimore Ravens)
3. Allen Robinson, Chicago Bears (at Atlanta Falcons)
Up to now, Robinson has not been nice. Regardless of receiving 18 targets by means of two weeks, he has simply eight receptions and 107 yards to point out for it. I’m predicting that modifications in Week Three towards a really weak Falcons move protection. Atlanta’s secondary has surrendered a mean of 372 passing yards by means of its first two video games and was ranked 30th by PFF coming into the season.
4. Calvin Ridley, Atlanta Falcons (vs. Chicago Bears)
5. Terry McLaurin, Washington Soccer Staff (at Cleveland Browns)
6. Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons (vs. Chicago Bears)
Jones is at present nursing a hamstring damage, therefore the poor efficiency (2-24-0) final week towards the Cowboys. The matchup this week towards the Bears isn’t ideally suited as they’ve solely surrendered 6.2 yards per move try, the eighth-lowest mark within the league in 2020. If Jones is enjoying, you’re beginning him.
7. Amari Cooper, Dallas Cowboys (at Seattle Seahawks)
For many of the 2010s, the Seahawks have been related to sturdy secondary play. The “Legion of Increase” was presumably the best group of DBs assembled throughout that stretch, however the group has been very beatable by means of the air in 2020. They’ve allowed a mean of 415 passing yards per sport by means of Week 2, the very best whole of any group within the NFL. Squaring off towards the Cowboys, who’ve averaged the third-most passing yards in 2020 (344.5) per sport, appears like a recipe for fulfillment for every Cowboys WR.
8. Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at Denver Broncos)
9. Tyler Lockett, Seattle Seahawks (vs. Dallas Cowboys)
10. Adam Thielen, Minnesota Vikings (vs. Tennessee Titans)
11. D.Okay. Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks (vs. Dallas Cowboys)
Due to the #LetRussCook motion, each Lockett and Metcalf have appeared close to inconceivable to cease. The group’s upcoming sport towards the Cowboys ought to be a shootout, as its over/underneath level whole is 56.5, the very best variety of any sport. Each are locked-in WR1s.
12. Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions (at Arizona Cardinals)
After lacking Weeks 1 and a pair of, it looks as if Golladay is trending in direction of suiting up in Week 3. The Lions offense hasn’t been capable of perform as anticipated with out the fixed field-stretching capabilities Golladay gives. Possible reunited with Stafford for the primary time since Week 9, Golladay ought to be in retailer for immediate success. 4 of his 5 100-plus receiving yard video games final season got here with Stafford underneath centre.
13. Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at Denver Broncos)
14. Davante Adams, Inexperienced Bay Packers (at New Orleans Saints)
Adams is coping with a hamstring damage and his standing for Week Three is unsure. Keep watch over his follow reviews within the lead-up to his matchup on Sunday Night time Soccer.
15. JuJu Smith-Schuster, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs. Houston Texans)
16. D.J. Moore, Carolina Panthers (at Los Angeles Chargers)
17. Diontae Johnson, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs. Houston Texans)
Smith-Schuster’s large Week 1 efficiency caught everybody’s consideration, but it surely’s Johnson who really leads Pittsburgh in receiving yards, receptions and targets by means of Week 2. The Texans have been good towards the move, permitting the third-lowest variety of passing yards per sport so far regardless of squaring off towards the Chiefs and Ravens. Johnson’s involvement within the offense has made him a WR2.
18. Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Payments (vs. Los Angeles Rams)
19. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys (at Seattle Seahawks)
20. Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland Browns (vs. Washington Soccer Staff)
21. Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers (vs. Carolina Panthers)
Following Week 1, I used to be a bit of involved about Allen’s reference to QB Tyrod Taylor. The 2 linked on simply 4 of his eight targets for 37 yards. After the unlucky damage Taylor sustained previous to final week’s sport towards the Chiefs and rookie QB Justin Herbert’s stable efficiency, I’m a bit of extra assured in Allen. Allen’s focused air yard proportion jumped from 27.78 to 38.65 as the 2 linked seven occasions on 10 targets for 96 yards and one fumble in Week 2.
22. Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams (at Buffalo Payments)
23. Marquise Brown, Baltimore Ravens (vs. Kansas Metropolis Chiefs)
24. Devante Parker, Miami Dolphins (at Jacksonville Jaguars)
25. Desean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. Cincinnati Bengals)
26. Darius Slayton, New York Giants (vs. San Francisco 49ers)
27. Julian Edelman, New England Patriots (vs. Las Vegas Raiders)
28. Robert Woods, Los Angeles Rams (at Buffalo Payments)
29. Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati Bengals (at Philadelphia Eagles)
30. Keelan Cole, Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. Miami Dolphins)
TE
1. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens (vs. Kansas Metropolis Chiefs)
2. Travis Kelce, Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (at Baltimore Ravens)
3. Mike Gesicki, Miami Dolphins (at Jacksonville Jaguars)
It’s not that tough, simply go Gesicki. That was certainly one of my mottos main as much as the 2020 NFL season. Final week, the Dolphins tight finish/slot receiver erupted for eight receptions, 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns towards the Payments. This week on Thursday Night time Soccer he attracts the Jaguars, who conceded 4 receptions, 84 yards and two TDs to Titans TE Jonnu Smith final week. I feel he explodes for one more stable output in Week 3.
4. Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams (at Buffalo Payments)
5. Jonnu Smith, Tennessee Titans (at Minnesota Vikings)
Final week I had Smith ranked as my TE7 and labelled him as a must-start.
One piece of recommendation for at this time: In case you have Parris Campbell or Jonnu Smith, it’s best to most likely begin them.
— Steven Psihogios (@StevenPsihogios) September 20, 2020
In Week Three he matches up towards the Vikings who’ve allowed the fifth-most passing yards per sport to date. He’s as soon as once more locked in as a must-start TE with WR A.J. Brown nonetheless not practising.
6. Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. Cincinnati Bengals)
I’m rating Goedert forward of teammate TE Zach Ertz as a result of in every sport to date, Goedert has acquired extra targets. The matchup is nice towards a Bengals secondary that shouldn’t frighten anybody. The Eagles’ emphasis on concentrating on TEs within the passing sport ought to be even bigger with Reagor sidelined.
7. Hunter Henry, Los Angeles Chargers (vs. Carolina Panthers)
8. Darren Waller, Las Vegas Raiders (at New England Patriots)
9. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. Cincinnati Bengals)
10. T.J. Hockenson, Detroit Lions (at Arizona Cardinals)
11. Noah Fant, Denver Broncos (vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
The Broncos are banged up at extensive receiver with Courtland Sutton (torn ACL) out for the season and rookie WR Jerry Jeudy coping with a rib damage, though he did follow on Wednesday. Fant’s 11 targets are second on the group and he may emerge as a dependable possibility for QB Jeff Driskel who will begin instead of QB Drew Lock, who’s coping with a shoulder damage.
12. Evan Engram, New York Giants (vs. San Francisco 49ers)
13. Jared Prepare dinner, New Orleans Saints (vs. Inexperienced Bay Packers)
14. Jordan Reed, San Francisco 49ers (at New York Giants)
Monitor the standing of 49ers TE George Kittle. He received in a restricted follow on Wednesday and could also be again prior to anticipated from his knee damage. If he’s not prepared, Reed is serviceable as a back-end TE1.
15. Hayden Hurst, Atlanta Falcons (vs. Chicago Bears)
16. Logan Thomas, Washington Soccer Staff (at Cleveland Browns)
17. Austin Hooper, Cleveland Browns (vs. Washington Soccer Staff)
