Week 3 Fantasy Football WR Rankings: Start of the Week
Brandon Aiyuk at Los Angeles Rams
Brandon Aiyuk has had a slow start to the season, currently the WR59 overall, but now gets an increased opportunity with teammate Deebo Samuel set to miss time. In Week 3, Aiyuk takes on a Los Angeles Rams team that ranks second worst in defensive points allowed to wide receivers compared to the league average per our D-PAC tool.
The veteran WR jumped from a 60% snap share in Week 1 to an 87% snap share in Week 2 and should be back to game shape after missing training camp. Aiyuk averaged 7.5 targets per game when Deebo Samuel was out of the lineup during the 2023 season.
The 49ers are 7.5-point favorites on the road and the Rams just allowed 29 points to rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. I’ve got Aiyuk as a high-end WR2 despite his slow start and I’m playing him with confidence.
