Week 3 rest-of-season fantasy football rankings

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

Well, we have two weeks down and the big question for so many fantasy managers is about how great Ryan Fitzpatrick is playing and how equally great he looks in the postgame presser. Here are the updated rest-of-season rankings and we try not to overrate what we have seen through two weeks, but in some cases, it is simply unavoidable. Like with Fitzpatrick! Some would say I am nuts to move him into the top 20 of quarterbacks, since we have seen enough of the journeyman over the years to know this cannot remotely continue. Others cannot figure out why the actual leading scorer in PPR formats entering Week 3 failed to crack my top five! I am serious.

Regardless, performance and injury -- and not fashion -- plays a role and we have interesting movement in these rankings, for both good and not so good. Remember, we will keep ranking players and defenses into December for purposes of comparison for the rest of the fantasy season, well after the trade deadline in your league.
