Make Final Start/Sit Decisions With Latest Week 3 Rankings & Tiers

Editor's note: Go here to read Sean Koerner's updated tiers as of early Sunday morning.

Fantasy football championships aren’t won by setting and forgetting your lineup.

To help you make start/sit decisions, I’ve updated my Week 3 fantasy football tiers so you can better visualize the rankings. Note that these tiers are as of Saturday night and teams’ final inactives could still impact certain players, so be sure to check my updated rankings before making final decisions.

Note: Players who played on Thursday night are denoted with an asterisk.
