Below are my rankings for Week 3. I’m participating in a study as part of Fantasy Pros, where they keep track of the accuracy of many of the top fantasy ‘experts’ around the country. For Week 2, I finished in the Top 8 (out of 39 experts) in QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs, and I hope to repeat that success this week. If you utilize my advice on the Q&A, please take a moment to sign up at Fantasy Pros (it’s free) and rate me as an expert.
