We have two weeks of football to evaluate our fantasy football rosters, but it still feels like there’s plenty of uncertainty. There are depth players outscoring superstars. Presumed playoff teams are sitting at 0-2. Week 3 will resolve some of these narratives. So check out these starts, fades, and sleepers and let me know what you think. Best of luck in all your Week 3 matchups! And check out the rest of my weekly rankings here.

Chargers' Jim Harbaugh Says Justin Herbert's X-Rays on Leg Injury Were  Negative

START

Justin Herbert (LAC) v. BUF

Herbert hasn't cracked the top 20 fantasy quarterbacks in either of the first two weeks, and to add insult to injury, the Chargers are winless. The good news is Herbert faces the Bills in Week 3, with a 50.5-point game total. The offensive line is still a concern, but Herbert dealt with similar issues last season, so the hope is he can have his first top-12 fantasy performance in Week 3.
