Week 3 Fantasy Football Rankings: Quarterbacks

Joe Burrow and Justin Fields drop a few spots.

Welcome to Week 3 of the fantasy football season!

It’s time to start thinking about setting your lineups, and we’re here to help with our initial fantasy player rankings! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which you can use in coordination with the Week 3 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

At the quarterback position, you’ll see big falls for Joe Burrow and Justin Fields due to their lack of production (and in Burrow’s case, a calf injury). The always reliable (at home) Jared Goff is in the top 10, as is Dak Prescott against the Cardinals.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
