Quarterback UFL Fantasy Football Rankings

Rankings and analysis by Brant Henson

Week 3 was highlighted by an impressive performance from E.J. Perry (30.3 fantasy points) and a tough day through the air from A.J. McCarron (152 passing yards). Adrian Martinez (31.8 fantasy points) lit the league on fire while advancing Birmingham to a 3-0 record.

Despite his poor stats last week, A.J. McCarron remains the top quarterback option for Week 4 as St. Louis gears up to play a Memphis defense that has surrendered the most passing yards per game in the league. He is in a prime position to bounce back fantasy-wise this week.

Adrian Martinez's impressive Week 3 performance should solidify the QB1 job in Birmingham as his for now, although Matt Corral will be ready to step back in if needed. Martinez has the highest ceiling out of any quarterback in the league but be cautious playing him given Birmingham's reluctance to stick with one quarterback.

Luis Perez and Reid Sinnett could find themselves in a bit of a shootout this week -- Arlington (27.7) and Houston (25.0) have allowed the most and second-most points per game this season.

Chase Garbers is on the injured reserve, with Quinten Dormady in place to start for San Antonio this week. E.J. Perry is coming off of a breakout performance but beware of both quarterbacks in this week's matchup. San Antonio and Michigan have allowed the least and second-least passing yards through three games.

Running Back UFL Fantasy Football Rankings

Rankings and analysis by Andrew Lennox

Following Week 3, numerous teams are now grappling with decisions regarding their primary tailback heading into Week 4, potentially introducing some issues for fantasy football managers.

Battlehawks running back Mataeo Durant had an impressive outing in Week 2 but he took a back seat to Jacob Saylors in Week 3. Saylors rushed seven times for 62 yards against San Antonio and he could be the main back again in Week 4 as he registered a touchdown on a 19-yard rush in the fourth quarter. Fellow back Wayne Gallman was inactive in Week 3 after playing in the two previous contests.

De'Veon Smith earned 63 yards on 14 carries in a Week 3 loss to the Defenders. He is averaging 4.5 per game, but fantasy managers need to be aware that Smith is going to be competing for carries in Week 4, as Leddie Brown logged 40 yards on 10 touches.

Birmingham tailback C.J. Marable had some company in the backfield in Week 3, with Ricky Person Jr. rushing eight times for 37 yards. Person Jr. also caught two passes for 39 yards and was targeted three times. Each back could be a significant fantasy factor going into Week 4.

Wide Receiver UFL Fantasy Football Rankings

Rankings and analysis by Brant Henson

Week 3's most impressive showings were headlined by Arlington's Tyler Vaughns (9-109-1), Birmingham's Deon Cain (7-144), and the reemergence of St. Louis's Hakeem Butler (6-87-1).

Deon Cain finds himself on top of the list for the first time this season following his impressive Week 3 showing. The Birmingham passing attack was tough to trust with the carousel at quarterback over the first two weeks, but with Adrian Martinez seemingly settling in under center, this should change. Cain has proven to be the top target for Martinez and the matchup is great this week against a DC defense that has allowed the second-most passing yards through three games.

Jontre Kirklin is the top target hog in the league, averaging 10.7 targets per game. He has a safe floor as the go-to receiver for Chase Garbers even in a tougher matchup on paper.

Wheels up for St. Louis receivers this week. One is bound to hit every week, as Hakeem Butler, Darrius Shepherd, and Marcell Ateman have all had spike weeks. The matchup with Memphis's soft pass defense should allow for multiple strong fantasy games in the St. Louis passing attack.

If you need to take a flier at receiver this week, look at the Houston-Arlington game. These two defenses are allowing the most points in the league and rank third and fourth in passing yards surrendered. Tyler Vaughns had a big week last week, but this week could be JaVonta Payton or Isaiah Winstead's time to shine. In Houston, Justin Hall has quietly usurped a solid portion of Kirk Merritt's work.

UPDATE: St. Louis' Jahcour Pearson has been added back to the active roster. It is unclear if he will play this week but if he does, expect him to potentially take on a big role immediately. Keep an eye on his status, and slot him into the rankings at 10 just ahead of Trey Quinn this week if he suits up.

Tight End UFL Fantasy Football Rankings

Rankings and analysis by Andrew Lennox

Coming out of the gate, it looked like Jake Sutherland would be the main tight end for the Battlehawks. However, he's only been targeted four times in three weeks. St. Louis's quarterback A.J. McCarron instead utilized TE Kemari Averett in Week 3, tossing him two passes that he hauled in for 19 yards.

In Saturday's victory over Memphis, Birmingham's Jace Sternberger made an impact with four receptions on six targets for 73 yards and a touchdown. His physical presence proved challenging for the Showboats, as he repeatedly exploited gaps in Memphis's secondary. He also recorded his first touchdown of the season in the contest. Despite his limited involvement in Birmingham's passing game so far, the 27-year-old Stallions tight end remains a strong fantasy option, especially after his performance in Week 3.

Memphis has dropped two games in a row, but Sage Surratt continues to be a bright spot on the team's offensive side. The 26-year-old caught four passes for 40 yards in Week 3. The Showboats are in for a tough matchup in Week 4. However, Surratt will remain one of signal-caller Case Cookus's top pass options throughout the season.
