A few guys have begun to ascend up the PPR rankings thanks to their receiving prowess – namely, Austin Ekeler (vs. Texans), Chris Carson (vs. Saints), and, surprisingly, Leonard Fournette (vs. Titans). Carson might be about to tumble back down because of fumbling issues and Fournette is still a blah play because he isn’t really producing as a runner, but it’s nice to see these guys more involved in their respective teams’ receiving games.
WEEK 3 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
A few more backs look like they’re turning into more classic “PPR backs”, though for some it’s not actually a good thing. Phillip Lindsay (@ Packers), Damien Williams (vs. Ravens), and Kenyan Drake (@ Cowboys) all get a decent number of carries, but they’re locked in committee battles that limit their ceilings. (Update: Williams is out for Week 3, making Darwin Thompson an intriguing PPR option.) Devin Singletary (vs. Bengals) might also be in that group, though he’s working through a hamstring injury and still fighting for more playing time, so it’s too early to say how his usage will evolve going forward. (Update: Singletary has been officially ruled out for Week 3.)
WEEK 3 PPR RANKINGS: Wide receiver | Tight end
Dare Ogunbowale (vs. Giants) and Jamaal Williams (vs. Broncos) both have PPR upside, but, again, they just don’t quite do enough running the ball to merit consideration – at least until we get into the bye weeks. They’re about the closest we have to “PPR breakouts”, though, so don’t overthink things if you’re playing in half-point or full-point PPR formats.
