Fantasy Football Week 3 Rankings: Top 25 WR To Start

player. 46. Wayne was quiet on Monday Night Football as the Coltslooked to run the ball against the Eagles and were up for most of the game.  This week, they should be ahead again as they visit Jacksonville, but Wayne has a history of taking it to his division foes, the Jaguars, and I think he’s a nice WR2 this week based on that matchup.. Indianapolis Colts. Week 3 @ Jaguars. Reggie Wayne. 16

Mike Wallace. 17. player. 59. Wallace has visited the end zone in each of the first two weeks and comes home to a favorable matchup against the Chiefs.  He seems to have a better connection with QB Ryan Tannehill this season than he demonstrated last year, and clearly is the WR who gets the most looks in the Miami offense which is much better at home (which they will be this week) than they are on the road.  . Miami Dolphins. Week 3 vs Chiefs

San Diego Chargers. Week 3 @ Bills. Keenan Allen. 18. player. 13. Allen has started the season taking on Patrick Peterson of the Cardinals in week 1 and the “Legion of Boom” in week 2.  He’s put up adequate but not overwhelming numbers and is a great buy-low candidate as he heads into this week’s game in Buffalo as he takes ont he Bills who allow the 8th-most points to opposing WR.

Watkins had a coming out party last week in Buffalo going for 117 yards on eight catches and getting tot he end zone.  He’s a rising star with huge playmaking ability and against the Charger secondary he should be lined up for another nice week as a fringe WR2.. Buffalo Bills. Week 3 vs Chargers. Sammy Watkins. 20. player. 16

San Francisco 49ers. Week 3 @ Cardinals. Michael Crabtree. 21. player. 42. After barely showing up on the stat sheet week one (partly due to injury), Crabtree came back with a nice performance against the Bears going for 82 yards on seven catches and a touchdown. Unfortunately for him and his owners, he’ll have to take on Patrick Peterson this week which keeps him just outside the top 20 options this week.

45. Sanders and the Broncos receivers are the hardest to rank this week.  Sanders could see his workload eaten into by the return of Wes Welker, but I still think he’s a much better play than Welker. Last week, Sanders led the Broncos in receiving yards with 108 on eight catches, so he’s definitely clicking with Peyton Manning. Manning takes what the defense gives him, so if Seattle decides to commit to taking away the two Thomas options look for Sanders to put together a big game in the Super Bowl rematch.  I see him as a strong WR3 or a low-end WR2 this week.  . Denver Broncos. Week 3 @ Seahawks. Emmanuel Sanders. 22. player

player. 32. Floyd has huge potential and will normally be much higher on this list, but last week Drew Stanton struggled a bit and doesn’t have the vertical aspect to his game to keep Floyd in the conversation as more than a flex play.  If and when Carson Palmer returns, Floyd will look to resume his breakout which he started week one, but until then he’s in a holding patter as a WR3/Flex.. Arizona Cardinals. Week 3 vs 49ers. Michael Floyd. 23

player. 56. A.J. Green returned to practice Wednesday, but I like Sanu as a WR3 or flex play even if Green returns on Sunday against the Titans. Sanu is a versatile threat and appears ready to blossom in Hue Jackson’s offense.  If Green is limited or unable to play, remember that Dez Bryant lit up the Titans last week which means the opportunity for Sanu to excel could definitely be there Sunday.. Cincinnati Bengals. Week 3 vs Titans. Mohamed Sanu. 24

Benjamin looked like a rookie last week against the Lions, and his drop issue that he struggled with in college resurfaced.  The good news is he was still the most targeted Panthers receiver and was again involved in the red zone.  Look for him to continue his growth process this week against the Steelers although it’s a tough matchup.  Benjamin is also dealing with a knee issue, but if he plays he’s worth flex consideration. Carolina Panthers. Week 3 vs Steelers. Kelvin Benjamin. 25. player. 87
