Here's my listing of the top 30 free agents for Week 3 — citing 12-team, standard-scoring leagues — a countdown that typically values long-term viability over one week of superb stats.
Obviously, free-agent quarterbacks like Philip Rivers, Ryan Tannehill, Matt Schaub, Sam Bradford and Terrelle Pryor are the likeliest candidates for the most points from Sunday to Sunday.
But I would also place an equal or higher priority on landing possible dynamos at receiver, running back and tight end ... ahead of a quarterback who may only draw one start all season (bye-week help).
