It’s Week 3 and fantasy football team owners who have yet to win are feeling the pressure. It’s not time to officially panic but set your fantasy football roster right with an eye to winning. The Week 3 fantasy football rankings will help in setting your line-ups. Also, make sure to play the waiver wire and get the best talented players on your roster.

This week’s fantasy football rankings feature the league’s current young upstart quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes has established himself as this year’s fantasy football darling if he maintains his pace of production.

Pay attention to the injury status of players like Leonard Fournette, Alshon Jeffery, and Marquise Goodwin. If they are active, they would be rankable players in fantasy football. Only Goodwin is ranked below as he seems to have the best chance of playing.
