2011 Fantasy Football WR Rankings: Week 3

LestersLegends’ Week 3 2001 fantasy football wide receiver rankings

1.  Calvin Johnson @ Minnesota:  The Vikes have limited the No. 1s (V-Jax, TB’s Mike Williams) so far, but Megatron will stop that trend.

2.  Andre Johnson @ New Orleans:  He’s topped 90 yards with a score in each of his two games.

3.  Vincent Jackson vs. Kansas City:  I feel bad for the Chiefs. Unfortunately the Chargers won’t show them any pity.

4.  Larry Fitzgerald @ Seattle:  Fitz and Kolb will continue to build a rapport.

5.  Kenny Britt vs. Denver:  Britt is averaging 135.5 yards and 1.5 touchdowns per game.

6.  Roddy White @ Tampa Bay:  Slow start to the year, but he’ll be up for the divisional game.

7.  Stevie Johnson vs. New England:  Has scored in both games this year. Bills should air it out to keep up with the Pats.

8.  Wes Welker @ Buffalo:  Came back to Earth last week, but should still be potent.

9.  Dez Bryant vs. Washington:  He’s not 100 percent, but should be huge with Miles Austin out.

10.  Mike Wallace @ Indianapolis:  Has topped 100 yards in both games this year.

11.  Greg Jennings @ Chicago:  Chicago will play better at home, but the Packers are dominating.

12.  Brandon Marshall @ Cleveland:  Marshall is quietly averaging 109 yards per game.

13.  Steve Smith (CAR) vs. Jacksonville:  Cam Newton is for real and Carolina’s version has reclaimed the Steve Smith title.

14.  Reggie Wayne vs. Pittsburgh:  Will miss Peyton in this one.

15.  Jeremy Maclin vs. New York Giants:  Averaged nearly 90 yards and a score against G-Men last year.

16.  Mike Williams (TB) vs. Atlanta:  Did nothing last week, but averaged 78.5 yards and a touchdown against Atlanta last year.

17.  Dwayne Bowe @ San Diego:  Without Jamaal Charles, the passing game is going to have to assume a larger role.

18.  Santana Moss @ Dallas:  Moss continues to be targeted heavily. He averaged 74.5 yards and a touchdown against the Boys last year.

19.  DeSean Jackson vs. New York Giants:  Probably misses Vick more than Maclin will.

20.  Santonio Holmes @ Oakland:  Jets are spreading the ball around, but he makes a solid WR 2 play.

21.  Devery Henderson @ Houston:  At least 100 yards and a score in both games so far.

22.  Hakeem Nicks @ Philadelphia:  Tough match-up, but he should be heavily involved with Manningham likely out with a concussion.

23.  Anquan Boldin @ St. Louis:  The offense struggled last week against Tennessee, but they’ll better than that.

24.  Percy Harvin vs. Detroit:  The Vikings have to get him on the field more.

25.  Nate Burleson @ Minnesota:  Averaging 76.5 yards. Will be motivated against former team.

26.  Deion Branch @ Buffalo:  Pats spread the ball around, but there is one less mouth to feed because of Aaron Hernandez’s injury.

27.  Mike Sims-Walker vs. Baltimore:  Got on the same page as Bradford with six catches for 92 yards on MNF.

28.  A.J. Green vs. San Francisco:  Developing into big-play option for the Bengals.

29.  Brandon Lloyd @ Tennessee:  Groin injury is a concern, but if he’s feeling better he’s a solid WR 3.

30.  Jordy Nelson @ Chicago:  Nelson will probably do his damage on more than one catch this week.

31.  David Nelson vs. New England:  14 catches on the year—Bills figure to pass often.

32.  Robert Meachem vs. Houston:  Scored last week, but did little else.

33.  Danario Alexander vs. Baltimore:  122 yards in season debut.

34.  Plaxico Burress @ Oakland:  Ignored last week. Should be more active this time.

35.  Nate Washington vs. Denver:  13 catches for 166 yards on the year.

36.  Jerome Simpson vs. San Francisco:  Had a huge game last week (136 yards). Potential is there and Andy Dalton looks good.

37.  Denarius Moore vs. New York Jets:  Made some sick plays last week, but Jets are tougher test.

38.  Chad Ochocinco @ Buffalo:  I still think eventually he gets involved in the Pats’ offense.

39.  Eric Decker @ Tennessee:  Made his mark in both games so far.

40.  Julio Jones @ Tampa Bay:  Still has a long way to go, but his athleticism is off-the-charts.
