NBA Fantasy: Week 3 fantasy rookie power rankings

Week 3 fantasy rookie rankings highlight four newcomers with strong production, led by Trevon Brazile at No. 10 and Aday Mara, Meleek Thomas and Keaton Wagler higher up the list, with AJ Dybantsa also making an immediate impression. Brazile, a 35th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft for Denver, is averaging 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds through six games, contributing as a reliable frontcourt option. Oklahoma City’s Mara has limited minutes despite Chet Holmgren’s injury, but recent rebounding streaks could boost his role. Cleveland’s Meleek Thomas has translated summer hype into regular-season output, averaging 14 points with double-digit scoring and a 17-point game against the Thunder. The writeup notes Keaton Wagler’s low shooting (25.6%) despite a defined rotational role, while Darryn Peterson offers scoring and 3-point threat for Utah.
