Week 3 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tight Ends

Is this the week we finally get a. Kyle Pitts breakout?

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 tight end, youngsters like Sam LaPorta and Jake Ferguson are both potential No. 1 options. Kyle Pitts has a great matchup in Detroit, but will he take advantage? He’s a low-end, risk-reward starter in most fantasy leagues after the first two weeks.

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