Amon-Ra St. Brown leads the Week 3 fantasy wide receiver rankings, ahead of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Chris Olave. Puka Nacua ranks sixth but is questionable after missing Week 2 with a groin/hip issue; A.J. Brown is on injured reserve and should be left out of Week 3 lineups.
After the top three, CeeDee Lamb and Ja’Marr Chase rank fourth and fifth; Justin Jefferson, Christian Watson, DeVonta Smith and Zay Flowers are seventh through 10th. The article names Rashod Bateman as a sleeper if Flowers’ hamstring injury keeps him out again: after Flowers missed Week 2, Bateman caught 7 of 9 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown, playing 93% of Baltimore’s offensive snaps. Michael Wilson is another sleeper, with seven targets in each of his first two games.
The article flags Emeka Egbuka and Tre Tucker as potential busts. Egbuka’s production fell from 5 catches for 63 yards in Week 1 to 3 for 16 in Week 2, when a touchdown salvaged his fantasy output. He is projected for 3.7 catches and 53 receiving yards in Week 3, with Chris Godwin also getting targets. Tucker had 5 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 after 2 for 27 in the opener; the article says another 100-yard game is unlikely amid competition for targets.
