Of course, the motto continues: everything we know is wrong. Josh Freeman of the Bucs (30th fantasy QB) will be going up against Tom Brady (27th ranked QB). What? Unless Gronk is back, expect that to continue.
Below are my rankings for Week 3. If you have any questions at all, post them up on Twitter @godhateslosers! I'll answer questions right up to kickoff on Sunday!
