With another exciting week of football under our belts, here are the Lester’s Legends 2014 Week 3 fantasy football wide receiver rankings.

1. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions

Megatron has 247 yards and a pair of touchdowns through two games. He is averaging 96.9 yards and a touchdown in 12 career games against the Green Bay Packers.

2. Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons

Jones is averaging 102 yards and 0.5 touchdowns per game. He'll take aim at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

3. Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys

Dez is averaging 79 yards and 0.5 touchdowns. He has averaged 1,307.5 yards and 12.5 touchdowns over the past two seasons. He should put up big numbers against the St. Louis Rams.

4. Brandon Marshall, Chicago Bears

Marshall is averaging 59.5 yards and a pair of touchdowns per game. Jay Cutler continues to favor Marshall over all of his weapons. He faces the New York Jets. The Jets have already allowed five passing touchdowns.

5. Jordy Nelson, Green Bay Packers

Nelson is averaging 146 yards and a touchdown after torching the Jets for 209 yards. He'll look to keep rolling against Detroit.

6. Demaryius Thomas, Denver Broncos

Thomas has 110 yards and a touchdown through two games. He's capable of putting up big numbers, even if he's facing the Seattle Seahawks.

7. Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers

Brown is averaging 103 yards and 0.5 touchdowns. He's third in the league in receiving yards.

8. Randall Cobb, Green Bay Packers

Cobb has 97 yards and three touchdowns. He'll look to get in the end zone for the third straight week as he faces the Lions.

9. Julian Edelman, New England Patriots 

Edelman is averaging 103 total yards and 0.5 touchdowns. Tom Brady is off to a slow start, but Edelman has been solid. Things should pick up for the Pats against the Oakland Raiders.

10. Jeremy Maclin, Philadelphia Eagles 

Maclin is averaging 71 yards and a touchdown for the Eagles. He's already been targeted 21 times. Look for plenty of action against the Washington Redskins.

11. Vincent Jackson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

V-Jax has just 87 yards on the year but should break out against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have allowed 317.5 yards per game. He had 303 yards and three touchdowns in two meetings with Atlanta last year.

12. Cordarrelle Patterson, Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings have to find a way to move the ball without Adrian Peterson. Patterson is the type of athlete that should be leaned on. He has 102 rushing yards and 82 receiving yards. He'll be a big part of the game plan against the New Orleans Saints.

13. Andre Johnson, Houston Texans

Johnson is averaging 83.5 yards per game. He is a physical presence that should dominate the New York Giants.

14. Percy Harvin, Seattle Seahawks

Harvin has 150 total yards and a touchdown. The dual threat will be called upon to keep up with the Broncos.

15. Pierre Garcon, Washington Redskins

Garcon has 89 yards in two weeks but should be more active this week against the Eagles. The Eagles have allowed five passing touchdowns.

16. Emmanuel Sanders, Denver Broncos

Sanders has 185 yards through two games. Peyton's new toy is a decent option despite facing Seattle.

17. Keenan Allen, San Diego Chargers 

Allen has 92 yards through two games. After facing the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle, the Buffalo Bills will be a welcome sight. The Bills have allowed 275.5 passing yards per game.

18. Mike Wallace, Miami Dolphins

Wallace has 137 yards and a pair of touchdowns through two games. He takes on the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have allowed five passing scores.

19. Alshon Jeffery, Chicago Bears

Jeffery battled through a hamstring injury to catch three passes for 47 yards. He should be closer to form against the Jets.

20. Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons

White has 114 yards and a touchdown through two games. He's a solid WR2 against the Bucs.
