We’re sticking with the Bears in the top spot against Case Keenum and the Redskins. Washington has disappointed owners of the Eagles and Cowboys in the first two owners, as its been surprisingly efficient, but we expect a bounce-back from the Bears. New England has a legit claim to the top spot against Trevor Siemian and the Jets and will likely be highly owned in DFS contests. (Update: With Luke Falk likely to start for the Jets this week, we’ve moved the Pats up to No. 1, where they probably should have been all along.)
WEEK 3 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | Kicker
We’re giving the Cowboys another chance after they’ve disappointed against the Giants and Redskins. The Dolphins have been a disaster offensively in each of the first two weeks, so if Dallas can’t do it against them, there are really no excuses. The Rams should be solid against a Browns team that turned the ball over in Week 1, and the Titans (@ Jaguars) look good against a rookie QB on a Thursday night. Seattle (vs. Saints) should be able to cause problems for Teddy Bridgewater at home; likewise for the 49ers, who will face Mason Rudolph at home.
WEEK 3 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
Some of the best matchups for waiver wire D/STs belong to units you don’t want to start. The Giants (@ Buccaneers), Bucs (vs. Giants), and Bengals (@ Bills) all face turnover-prone QBs, but only the Bucs have impressed in any way this year. They’re a sneaky sleeper option, though they come with a very low floor.
Week 3 DFS Lineups: FD cash | FD GPP | DK cash | DK GPP | Y! cash | Y! GPP
On the other side, the Texans (@ Chargers), Broncos (@ Packers), Ravens (@ Chiefs), and Chiefs (vs. Ravens) are tough to play this week – which means they’re tough to keep on your roster at all. Unless any of those teams have favorable upcoming matchups, you can feel free to drop them and play matchup game going forward.
