Three weeks down and a couple of months to go before the trade deadline!

These are the latest end-of-season rankings, as we head into Week 4, and while we do not see major changes in the top half of the overall top 100, stuff is happening at each position. A certain second-year quarterback who seems unstoppable pushes past a future Hall of Famer or two. Several young running backs forced us to pay more attention to them. At the tight end position, one of the better options hurt a knee, but a second-year option steps up.

As always, use the rankings below for whatever purposes you desire, whether it is for trade talks, bar bets or simply for kindling. The weather is getting colder, after all. It is football weather.
