Fantasy Football Rankings: 5 players Hayden Winks is higher and lower on than consensus

Fantasy football analyst Hayden Winks highlights some players from the Week 3 rankings that deserve to be scrutinized.

Hayden Winks, a fantasy football analyst, has provided a list of players he believes are higher and lower on than the Yahoo consensus for Week 3. Terrance Ferguson, a tight end for the Rams, is ranked higher by Winks than the consensus, with a projected 49.5 average yards and only 16 fewer points than the consensus. Ferguson's role has significantly increased since Week 1, as he has become a featured player and a consistent option in passing plays.

Meanwhile, Jaylen Warren of the Steelers is ranked lower by Winks compared to the consensus, with only a 5-point difference. Warren has outperformed Rico Dowdle in both pass protection and receiving abilities, and his gameplay has been more effective due to Dowdle's injury. On the WR side, Jameson Williams of the Lions is ranked higher by Winks than the consensus, with a 3.2-point difference.

Despite the Lions' offensive disorganization, Williams is expected to see more playtime due to the absence of reliable outside corners on their defense. Lastly, Deebo Samuel of the 49ers is ranked lower by Winks compared to the consensus, with a 11-point difference. Samuel has had limited target share and an average of 3.3 yards per target, but with the addition of Christian Watson and the absence of Mike Evans, he presents a valuable opportunity for fantasy managers.
