As winless fantasy owners start reassessing everything from their Sunday morning diet to their infatuation with Matthew Berry’s player rankings, this is a perfect time to panic. An 0-3 start, even in those ridiculous 8-team playoff leagues, would be disastrous and require a nearly flawless execution of the regular season’s remaining matchups to simply qualify for the postseason.
For those untouchables, many of which are likely carrying stud RB DeMarco Murray, on the other end of the spectrum, a 3-0 record would be an enormous step to finding the mythical pot of fantasy football cash. As owners across the country scramble for injury replacements for the likes of Jamaal Charles, Doug Martin, Ryan Mathews and a heap of others, take a responsible gander at our Week 3 player rankings in hopes of finding a win during fantasy football’s version of moving day.
