Let’s take a look at my fantasy football rankings by position for Week 3, as well as which players to drop and to target on the waiver wire.

Week 3 Fantasy Football Rankings

These rankings are based on full PPR scoring. The strength of schedule ranking is based on PFF's SoS metric (No. 1 is the easiest matchup and No. 32 the hardest.)

Week 3 Quarterback Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts

Through two games, Hurts has totaled 50.5 fantasy points and ranks fifth among all quarterbacks in scoring. Passing for only 454 yards hasn’t held him back, as Hurts has the second-most rushing yards at the position. Expect a strong performance in Week 3 against a suspect Dallas Cowboys secondary.
