September 18, 2024

The big news from NFL Week 2 was the prevalence of injuries to key players. And they weren’t minor injuries either.

Cooper Kupp, Deebo Samuel, Isiah Pacheco and Tua Tagovailoa are among the top talents who won’t see the field for multiple weeks after they were all hurt in this past week’s games. Regardless, fantasy managers must press on with the healthy players they still have.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 3 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
