What’s the concern level for the Baltimore Ravens’ 0-2 start?
Two-time MVP Lamar Jackson will look to save the Ravens’ season in a Week 3 matchup versus the Dallas Cowboys.
Sports Seriously
Unlike other positions, NFL running backs have largely been able to avoid the injury bug this season. Of course, there are exceptions − most notably Isiah Pacheco of the Kansas City Chiefs, who suffered a fractured fibula in Week 2.
That puts rookie Carson Steele (and veteran Samaje Perine) in line for much larger roles in one of the league’s top offenses. But how much confidence should fantasy managers have in either one this week?
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.
