NFL Week 3 Rankings

Give your coaching staff some muscle and add Wager On Football's Fantasy Football content and articles to your sideline. This is also a wise thing to do before tackling an NFL sportsbook. Our Fantasy Football Edge provides you with all you need to be competitive this fantasy football season, and in our NFL sportsbooks. It's time for us to begin ranking players in an effort to give you an edge on the competition. Every week during the the Fantasy Football season we here at Wager On Football will do everything we can in terms of giving you our loyal friends as much Fantasy Football insight as we can. Need help making those tough lineup decisions? Our Fantasy football Lineup Rankings can help you make the right call. We provide you with our best possible starters, based on overall Fantasy Football value and each player's upcoming NFL weekly matchup.

The Wager On Football Sportsbook Review fantasy rankings are based on a performance scoring system where a player gets a bonus for yards and six points for touchdowns. Each week, our Wager On Football Fantasy Football experts get together and review all NFL matchups from a Fantasy perspective as the basis for these rankings. We provide you with a listing of the top 20 quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers plus tight ends, and defenses. We do not rank KICKERS on purpose ok??

Several factors are considered, including strength of opponent, recent performances, individual matchups and all the intangibles that encompass an NFL matchup. Such as rivalries, weather, team moral, and playing against a former team. Injuries, experience and the possibility of splitting playing time are also a factor. In some cases, certain players are must-starts every week and rarely drop below the top spots or are removed unless they are injured. At running back, LaDainian Tomlinson will always be ranked near the top, McNabb and Manning as well, and Moss, Harrison and now Holt regardless of matchups. After all of the weekly games are finished be sure to check our waiver wire, studs and duds, a who's hot, and who's not report plus more in our fantasy football guide.

So without any further time wasting, here are the Week 3 Fantasy Rankings for the NFL games going on this week (Week 3). Good Luck!!!
