Fantasy Football Week 3 Starter Rankings
By Jason Lisk
Here are this week’s starter rankings. Good luck. A few items of note:
- Brandon Marshall expected to play, but limited on snap count, so you are basically banking on a TD in red zone if you go with him. Start someone else if you have a viable Top 30 option.
- In Miami, Ian Rapoport says that the Dolphins are treating Kenyan Drake as the starter over Jay Ajayi. Of course, it could still be a platoon situation replacing Arian Foster, but if you have to go with one, lean Drake.
- Delanie Walker is a game time decision at tight end, so go with a better option if you have one.
- Willie Snead is a game time decision for tomorrow night, and since it’s the last game, you are probably going to want to get someone else in (unless you have multiple players (Sanu? Michael Thomas?) that you could swap in tomorrow.
