My initial fantasy football rankings for NFL Week 3 are here, but there could be quite a bit of movement from now until kickoff on Sunday.

These projections will evolve during the week as I dive deeper into Week 2 data. As always, be sure to check my updated rankings and projections before making final lineup decisions.

To help you start making start-sit decisions, I've outlined the first version of my Week 3 fantasy rankings into tiers so you can better visualize the drop-off in expected production at each position. I've also included usage notes on key players at the bottom of each section.

Let's dive into the initial version of my Week 3 fantasy football tiers and rankings below.
