Week 3 Fantasy Flex Rankings

Week 3 Fantasy Flex Rankings image

After a week full of injuries, the Week 3 fantasy flex rankings could be more important than ever. Fantasy owners have had to dip deeper into their bench for their usual RB, WR and TE lineup spots, which means that final start 'em, sit 'em decision could be someone they trust less or didn't plan on starting so early in the season, like KJ Hamler, who makes his debut in our top-120 flex rankings this week.

You're probably here on Thursday night or Sunday morning (or even Sunday or Monday night) looking to finish off a high-quality lineup, so this intro won't take up too much more of your time. We have fewer tight ends in here than last week but still a good number, as some unexpected options have popped up so far this season -- and that's without us even including Drew Sample or Dalton Schultz, who were among our Week 3 sleeper picks.

WEEK 3 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QuarterbackRunning back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

We'll leave you with two flex lineup spot tricks to remember. First, start your players in the later games (late afternoon or prime time) in the flex spot in case anything comes up and you need to change them out. Along the same lines, if you have players who start the week on Thursday night or even early Sunday and you know they're healthy and you're starting them, put them in your usual RB/WR/TE spots and put a questionable player in the flex spot so if their injury keeps them out, you have more room for maneuvers. 

Without further ado, here are our Week 3 flex rankings.
