On to Week 3. There were a number of injuries that impacted the fantasy landscape this past weekend, so pay close attention to all of the moving parts in this week’s flex rankings.
1. Le'Veon Bell, PIT @ CHI (RB1) — Bell still hasn't performed up to expectation, but he did rack up 30-plus touches in Week 2.
2. Antonio Brown, PIT @ CHI (WR1) — He was held in check last week, but Brown is an every-week starter no matter what.
3. Julio Jones, ATL @ DET (WR2) — Jones has yet to go big this season, but he did top 100 yards in Week 2.
4. Mike Evans, TB @ MIN (WR3) — Evans found the end zone and nearly snagged a second touchdown in his season debut.
5. Jay Ajayi, MIA @ NYJ (RB2) — Ajayi picked right up where he left off last season with a 100-yard performance in Week 2.
6. A.J. Green, CIN @ GB (WR4) — The Bengals' struggles are real, but Green gets a fantastic matchup this week.
7. Ezekiel Elliott, DAL @ ARI (RB3) — Don't worry too much about last week's dud. Elliott is still an elite fantasy option.
8. Brandin Cooks, NE vs HOU (WR5) — Cooks drew a surprisingly tough matchup last week against Marshon Lattimore. This week he faces a banged-up Texans secondary.
9. Kareem Hunt, KC @ LAC (RB4) — He's an absolute stud. Maybe this ranking is too low.
10. Todd Gurley, LAR @ SF (RB5) — #ToddGurleyRedemptionTour
11. Amari Cooper, OAK @ WAS (WR6) — Michael Crabtree put up the bigger numbers in Week 2, but Cooper still offers plenty of upside.
12. Michael Thomas, NO @ CAR (WR7) — Drew Brees on the road isn't ideal, but Thomas is still an every-week starter.
13. LeSean McCoy, BUF vs DEN (RB6) — This is a rough matchup for McCoy, who is coming off a sub-par performance against the tough Panthers defense.
14. Devonta Freeman, ATL @ DET (RB7) — Freeman got back on track last week with a big performance on Sunday night.
15. Michael Crabtree, OAK @ WAS (WR8) — Crabtree continues to get plenty of looks in the red zone.
