Updated Week 3 fantasy football rankings: Start-sit decisions by position image

In Week 3, we can start to put the puzzle pieces together when it comes to fantasy football. There is a clearer understanding of how these teams like using specific players.

One game can be considered a fluke, but two games, now that can be a trend. It's important to adjust to what is transpiring on the football field. Don't overreact, but ignoring the signs would be just as unadvised.

These fantasy rankings will be updated all the way up till kickoff on Sunday with any news that breaks. So if you find yourself tilting on Sunday morning, we've got you covered with full PPR rankings and Half-PPR flex rankings.

Note: Players who have already had their game are in ~~italicized, strikethrough font~~.
