We’ve also discovered the opponent that apparently will make every QB into a starting option: Miami. This week, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys host the Dolphins, making them one of the favorites to lead the NFL in total points in Week 3. Prescott threw for more than 400 yards in Week 1 while the Cowboys got Ezekiel Elliott back up to speed. Now, it looks like 300 yards could be more of his ceiling, but against the Dolphins, that very well might come with at least three touchdown passes.
WEEK 3 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
There’s an interesting duel between two fantasy starters in Cleveland this week, with Baker Mayfield facing off against Jared Goff. After a slow start, Goff and the Rams offense looked great in the second half against the Saints and should be able to handle a strong Browns pass rush. Aaron Rodgers (vs. Broncos) looked more like himself in a win over the Vikings and should be a fantasy starter in Week 3.
WEEK 3 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
We learned that Kirk Cousins and Cam Newton are in danger of underwhelming fantasy owners all season. Newton’s apparent inability to run around has severely capped his fantasy potential. Cousins may simply not be good enough to shine in an offense designed to lean on the run.
Week 3 DFS Lineups: FD cash | FD GPP | DK cash | DK GPP | Y! cash | Y! GPP
Last but not least before we get into the rankings, Kyler Murray threw for more than 300 yards for a second-straight week. It might not always be pretty for the rookie, but in Kliff Kingsbury’s offense, it’s looking like the numbers on the stat sheet at the end of the game might work out for fantasy owners relying on the No. 1 overall pick Murray.
