Fantasy Football Week 3 Rankings: QBs

You unlucky Donovan McNabb owners now have a partner in misery -- the Matt Hasselbeck owners. While he hasn't been formally ruled out of Sunday's game against Chicago, it's highly unlikely he'll play. That means Seneca Wallace would step in for a start -- and that's actually not a bad thing. Wallace did very well starting over the second half of the season, and I think he might actually put up better numbers than Hasselbeck.

The unluckiest among you are without both McNabb and Hasselbeck this week, which assigns extra importance to this week's set of QB rankings. Do you pick up Wallace, Kevin Kolb, or another free-agent QB?

• Getting frustrated with Aaron Rodgers? Well, now isn't the time to give up on him. I think he has an awesome game against the Rams in store, so consider this your last chance to buy low for you non-Rodgers owners.

• Trent Edwards and Eli Manning are borderline QB1s this week, both playing against bad secondaries. The Giants are more likely to go into run-the-ball, clock-killing mode, so I rank Manning just a bit behind Edwards. I like both way more than Carson Palmer, who has to face the tough Steelers defense.

• Those of you in need of a QB2 should look to Seneca Wallace. While still recovering from injury in his first start last year, he threw an interception. In his next six starts, he threw eight touchdowns and no interceptions. That get your attention? Three of those scoring strikes went to John Carlson, and T.J. Houshmandzadeh brings another great presence to the receiving corps.

• OK, I think Brady Quinn probably finishes with more fantasy points than Michael Vick. I just wanted to underscore the fact that Quinn shouldn't be started in any league right now. Neither should Vick -- or JaMarcus Russell and Marc Bulger, for that matter.
