Week 3 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings: Anthony Richardson, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Derek Carr, Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, Justin Fields

Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

RotoBaller's Week 3 fantasy football quarterback (QB) rankings for the 2024 NFL season. Win more with our QB fantasy football rankings for Week 3 lineups.

Passing touchdowns are on a sharp decline in 2024 compared to the last few seasons, so naturally, quarterbacks are scoring fewer points as a group. That said, start-or-sit decisions for the tricky position aren't getting any easier. We're here to assist with our Week 3 fantasy football quarterback rankings for 2024.

Key quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott have underwhelmed to begin the year, but mid-level quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield, Derek Carr, Geno Smith, and Sam Darnold are currently among the top 10 highest scorers among QBs. Let's see where those players rank in Week 3.

In addition to our staff rankings, below is a summary of the important QB fantasy football injury news for this week. Be sure to bookmark our fantasy football rankings portal and check back regularly for updates. Good luck in Week 3 RotoBallers!
