This week, the top and bottom of our “starting tier” have question marks, but with Odell Beckham Jr. (vs. Bears), Michael Thomas (@ Cowboys), Julio Jones (vs. Ravens), and A.J. Green if he returns (vs. Broncos), you can’t worry too much. Green might be dealing with a backup QB, which is more of a worry, so we’ll adjust his ranking depending on that situation in addition to his own physical issues.

The WR3 bubble also has features difficult matchups for some of those studs’ teammates (Calvin Ridley, Tre’Quan Smith, Sterling Shepard). Other perennial WR3s, such as Marquise Goodwin (@ Seahawks), Josh Gordon/Julian Edelman (vs. Vikings), and Jarvis Landry (@ Texans), also face tough pass defenses, while upstarts like Keke Coutee (vs. Browns), Josh Reynolds (@ Lions), Jermaine Kearse (@ Titans), Curtis Samuel (@ Bucs), David Moore (vs. 49ers), and all the Ravens (@ Falcons) have weak defensive opponents. Making a decision between those types of players could be the difference between a spot in the fantasy playoffs and a spot in the consolation bracket – aka “The Waste of Time Tournament”.
