We’re onto Week 3! Here are my quarterback rankings for Week 3.
QB rankings - Week 3
Rank | QB | Team | Opponent | High Floor/High Ceiling QB1s |
---|---|---|---|---|
Rank | QB | Team | Opponent | High Floor/High Ceiling QB1s |
1 | Patrick Mahomes | KC | SF | Mahomes is lighting the league on fire and he's got another shootout on deck against the 49ers at home. |
2 | Tom Brady | NE | at DET | Detroit's defense can't stop anything and New England just added Flash Gordon. |
3 | Deshaun Watson | HOU | NYG | The hapless Giants have no shot at stopping the Hopkins/Fuller duo. |
4 | Aaron Rodgers | GB | at WAS | A-Rod drops all the way to No. 4 with his bad MCL. |
5 | Ryan Fitzpatrick | TB | PIT | Fitzpatrick is the QB1 through 2 weeks and gets the defense allowing the 2nd most fantasy points to QBs. |
6 | Cam Newton | CAR | CIN | Cam's getting it done on the ground and through the air. He's a locked-in Top 10 option every week. |
7 | Kirk Cousins | MIN | BUF | Cousins is firmly in command of his new offense and gets the bottom-dwelling Buffalo D this week. |
8 | Drew Brees | NO | at ATL | ATL defense hasn't (and won't) recover from the losses of Keanu Neal and Deion Jones. They simply cannot stop pass-catching RBs… |
9 | Ben Roethlisberger | PIT | at TB | Both PIT and TB have awful pass defenses. This is a surefire shootout that could easily surpass 60+ combined points. |
10 | Jimmy Garoppolo | SF | at KC | KC has the worst defense in the league. SF and KC will trade offensive punches all day long. |
Low Floor/High Ceiling QB1s | ||||
11 | Russell Wilson | SEA | DAL | Seattle's play calling is abysmal. RW is still getting it done because he's just that good. |
12 | Carson Wentz | PHI | IND | A great matchup for Wentz's return. |
High Floor/High Ceiling QB2s | ||||
13 | Alex Smith | WAS | GB | This smells like a shootout. |
14 | Matt Ryan | ATL | NO | NO D has reverted to its porous ways. A shootout is on tap. |
15 | Matthew Stafford | DET | NE | Stafford will be forced to throw to keep DET somewhat in the game. |
Low Floor/High Ceiling QB2s | ||||
16 | Blake Bortles | JAX | TEN | Bortles' sneaky rushing floor combined with a middling TEN defense should result in fantasy goodness. |
17 | Andrew Luck | IND | at PHI | Expecting Luck to survive on volume here. |
18 | Philip Rivers | LAC | at LAR | Possibly the lowest you'll see Rivers all year. LAR D is just that good. |
19 | Andy Dalton | CIN | at CAR | Big time shootout potential here. |
20 | Jared Goff | LAR | LAC | Goff has an incredible cast of offensive weapons. He stays somewhat viable, even in a tough matchup. |
21 | Mitchell Trubisky | CHI | at ARI | Trubisky gets the hapless Cards this week. His ground game upside is underrated. |
22 | Ryan Tannehill | MIA | OAK | Start QBs who are facing the Oakland Raiders. |
23 | Dak Prescott | DAL | at SEA | Dak's receiving corps leaves a lot to be desired but this Seattle D is a shell of its former self. |
24 | Derek Carr | OAK | at MIA | Carr should continue last week's high efficienty performance against a subpar defense. |
QB3s | ||||
25 | Case Keenum | DEN | at BAL | Despite last week's game against Cincy, BAL still has a top-flight defense. |
26 | Tyrod Taylor | CLE | NYJ | NYJ D is forreal and they just lost their best player in Josh Gordon. |
27 | Joe Flacco | BAL | DEN | This is a tough matchup for Flacco. |
28 | Eli Manning | NYG | at HOU | Eli's only hope is for Saquon and Beckham to house a couple short passes. |
29 | Sam Darnold | NYJ | CLE | Darnold looks good but he's still a green rookie. |
30 | Sam Bradford | ARI | CHI | CHI defense is going to eat Bradford alive. |
31 | Josh Allen | BUF | at MIN | MIN held Rodgers in check… |
32 | TEN QB | TEN | JAX | Whoever starts for Tennessee is in for a long day. |
