Week 3 Fantasy Football Rankings: Wide receiver
Injuries? Between Jordy Nelson (quad), Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) and others, we have injuries. Busts? Yeah, there have been a lot of WR disappointments so far. Sleepers? Lots of them, too. What does that all mean for our Week 3 fantasy football rankings for wide receivers? Not that much, honestly.
Well, the injuries mean something, of course. For now, Nelson, Beckham, and Randall Cobb are still in our rankings, but if anything changes with their respective statuses, they'll get bumped out and replacements will get bumped in (Geronimoooooooo!). The disappointments and breakouts are where we're pumping the brakes, at least a little. We've soured on some borderline guys (Zay Jones, we hardly knew thee), but for the most part, we're still siding with proven veterans and looking to pick on what appear to be favorable matchups. There's still a lot to learn about both offenses and defenses, so talent and track record reign supreme.
With that said, three straight poor (or good) performances could cause some major shifts next week. Players like Sammy Watkins and Jamison Crowder could just keep plummeting, while J.J. Nelson and Nelson Agholor will have to get more respect if they keep catching touchdowns, garbage-time be damned.

These rankings are for standard, non-PPR leagues
1 | Julio Jones, Falcons @ Lions. The Lions have done a good job limiting wide receivers this year, but they were among the worst in the league at defending the position last year. Even if this year's output is legit, Jones can burn anyone, and he we always love him playing indoors. |
