Week 3 Fantasy Rankings - QB

1. Tom Brady, NE @ BUF - Some have called Brady a lock for the MVP this year and his performances in both week 1 and 2 have shown that. He's thrown for almost 1,000 yards through 2 weeks, and against a division rival, the Buffalo Bills, expect it to be high-scoring.

2. Philip Rivers, SD vs. KC - Not only the Chief's D, but the entire team has been struggling thus far in the 2011 season. Rivers will get a lot of time on the field to shine with his offense. Jackson again has emerged as a top-notch receiver.

3. Aaron Rodgers, GB @ CHI - Rodgers had a fluke in the beginning of the game last week against the Panthers, but he pulled through and won. With a tough run defense in the Chicago Bears, expect Rodgers to be looking to his receivers a lot.

4. Drew Brees, NO vs. HOU - Brees continues to look solid against a tough Chicago D last week. He'll go up against a young Houston defense who gave up the most total yards in the league last year.

5. Matthew Stafford, DET @ MIN - Stafford has shined this year so far, coming off an injury-stricken 2010 season, and lead the Lions to a 2-0 record. He has established targets in both Calvin Johnson and Nate Burleson and will use them against the Vikings' D.

6. Michael Vick, PHI vs. NYG - He is No. 6 on my list but the Eagles' are currently unsure of whether or not he's playing this Sunday against the Giants. If he does, however, everyone saw what he did to them last year, leading the Eagles to a fourth-quarter-shocker comeback. The risk is the protection he gets from his O-Line.

7. Matt Schaub, HOU @ NO - Houston has an explosive offense, and going up against the Saints this week, you know Schaub's going to be passing the ball a lot if he wants to stay in the game opposite Drew Brees.

8. Josh Freeman, TB vs. ATL - Freeman is trying to rally his young team together and start to achieve the goals they sought after in the conclusion of last season. This is a key game against their division rival the Falcons in order to make a statement in the NFC South.

9. Matt Ryan, ATL @ TB - Matt Ryan showed what he can do under pressure last week against the Eagles and proved that he has what it takes. This is his chance to show the NFL what the Falcons are made of and he'll use weapons Roddy White and rookie Julio Jones, while balancing the attack with Michael Turner, in order to do so.

10. Cam Newton, CAR vs. JAX - Cam Newton has been one of the surprises this season because of the assumptions that he wouldn't be ready for the NFL. And although the Panthers are 0-2, Newton has thrown for over 400 yards in both games, and will continue his feat against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Newton rises and defeats Jags.
